Acceleration of a free-falling object in a frictionless environment increases as a function of time.

Digiron [165]2 years ago

A free-falling object is an object moving under the effect of gravitational forces alone

The correct option to select for the True or False question is False

The reason the above selected option is correct is as follows:

According to Newton's second law of motion, we have;

Force = Mass × Acceleration

The force of gravity is F_{g} =G \cdot \dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}

Where;

G \cdot \dfrac{M }{r^{2}} = Acceleration \ due \ to \ gravity , \ g \approx 9.81 m/s^2

m  = The mass of the object

∴ The force acting on an object in free fall, F_g = m × g

Therefore the acceleration of an object in free fall is the constant acceleration due to gravity, and it therefore, does not change with time

The correct option for the question, acceleration of a free-falling object in a frictionless environment increases as a function of time is <u>False</u>

<u></u>

a child's toy consists of a piece of plastic attached to a spring. the spring is compressed against the floor a distance of 2.0
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

1.7N

Explanation:

Force = kx

Where x = spring compression and

K = spring constant

K =85N/m

x = 2.0cm / 100

= 0.02m

Force = 85 x 0.02

= 1.7N

As a pendulum swings back and forth __________.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

E. All of the above.

Explanation:

These are the equations for potential (PE) and kinetic energy (KE):

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height.

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass.

v = speed.

At the end points of its swings, the pendulum is at its maximum height and its velocity is zero (for an instant). Then all the energy at these points is potential (answer B).

As the pendulum swings back from the end point it starts to lose height and acquires kinetic energy until it reaches the lowest part of the of its swing. At this point, all the potential energy was transformed into kinetic energy. The potential energy will be zero (because the height is zero) and due to energy conservation, the energy that once was potential energy has to be transformed into some kind of energy, in this case, into kinetic energy (we assume there is no air resistance, in which case some energy would be transformed into thermal energy as well, i.e., heat). (answer A and D).

After the lowest point, the pendulum acquires height (potential energy increases) and, due to the acceleration of gravity, it starts to lose velocity (kinetic energy decreases). Due to conservation of energy, the increase in potential energy must be equal to the decrease in kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy (answer C).

Then, the answer is E. All answers are correct.
