Answer:
This is because the acceleration of objects due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object and is constant for all objects, therefore, all objects fall with the same speed.
Explanation:
The weight of an object or force of gravity acting on an object on the surface of earth is a product of its mass and acceleration due to gravity.
Mathematically, w = mg
where, m=mass of the object; g = acceleration due to gravity
Also, from newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force on the object ,F = GMm/r²
where G is the gravitational constant; M is mass of Earth; m is mass of object; r is the distance of separation between the object and the center of mass of the earth which is approximately the radius of earth.
Since the weight of an object is equal to the force of gravitation acting on it
W = F
mg = GMm/r²
g = GM/r²
The expression above is that of the relationship between the force of gravity acting on a body on the earth's surface, the weight of that body and the acceleration due to gravity, g.
It can be seen that the acceleration due to gravity g is independent of the mass of the object. Therefore, the acceleration of objects due to gravity is constant for all objects and all objects fall with the same speed.
Answer:
3430000 J
Explanation:
The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.
M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.
First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).
From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).
Answer: higher and lower
Explanation:
charge in an electric field will experience a force in the direction of decreasing potential energy. Since the electric potential energy of a negative charge is equal to the charge times the electric potential the direction of decreasing electric potential energy is the direction of increasing electric potential.
She is traveling at a constant speed.
