Answer:

The object will contine to fall, but at a constant velocity.  There will be no more acceleration.

Explanation:  When the force of gravity is equal to the reverse force of air resistance, there will will be no net force on the falling obect.  F = ma, and F (net) = 0.  It will continue at the same speed until those forces become imbalanced again (such as when the force pushing up from the ground is greater than the force of gravity pulling it down).  The metric term for this sudden resistance is "crash/bang/clunk/yieouch."

The more _________ an electron has, the further away it can be from the nucleus. mass
Monica [59]

Answer:

ectron's further from the nucleus are held more weakly by the nucleus, and thus can be removed by spending less energy. Hence we say they have higher energy. The Coulomb interaction energy between a nucleus of atomic number and an ele

Why is it when a ballerina stands on her toes she exerts more pressure than an elephant on all fours
Murrr4er [49]

I'm not sure that's true ... we'd need to see some numbers.
But if it is true, it's the same reason why some places don't
want ladies to walk on their floors with high heels.

Pressure is        (weight) divided by (area).

Pressure exerted
by a ballerina      =    (ballerina's weight)/(area of her toe on the floor)

Pressure exerted
by an elephant    =    (elephant's weight)/(area of 4 elephant feet)

Pressure exerted by
a lady in high heels  = (lady's weight) / (area of 1 or 2 heels)

You can see that the greatest weight might not exert the greatest
pressure, and the smallest weight might not exert the smallest
pressure.  The area is important, and it takes an awful lot of toes
or high heels to equal the area of one or more elephant's feet.

What is the distance between lines on a diffraction grating that produces a second-order maximum for 760-nm red light at an angl
Nataly [62]
The condition for maximum intensity is the same as that for a double slit. However, angular separation of the maxima is generally much greater because the slit spacing is so small for a diffraction grating. For a diffraction grating with lines/mm = lines/inch, the slit separation is d = micrometers = x10^ m.

A man pushes a trolley with a horizontal force of 120 N. What is the distance travelled
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

b. 3 m

Explanation:

The computation of the distance travelled is shown below:

As we know that

Work done  = Horizontal Force  × distance travelled

360 J = 120 N × discount travelled

So, the distance travelled is

= 360 J ÷ 120 N

= 3 m

hence, the correct option is b. 3 m
