An object of mass 30 kg is in free fall in a vacuum where there is no air resistance. Determine the acceleration of the object.

velikii [3]

Answer:

In free fall, mass is not relevant and there's no air resistance, so the acceleration the object is experimenting will be equal to the gravity exerted. If the object is falling on our planet, the value of gravity is approximately 9.81ms2 .

If wheel turning at a constant rate completes 100 revolutions in 10 s its angular speed is:

GenaCL600 [577]

The frequency of the wheel is given by:
$f= \frac{N}{t}$
where N is the number of revolutions and t is the time taken. By using N=100 and t=10 s, we find the frequency of the wheel:
$f= \frac{100}{10 s}=10 s^{-1}$

And now we can find the angular speed of the wheel, which is related to the frequency by:
$\omega=2 \pi f=2 \pi (10 s^{-1})=62.8 s^{-1}$
