A heavy object falls with the acceleration as a light object during free fall because of acceleration due to gravity.
Explanation:
A motion can be termed as free fall when the object is completely under the influence of gravity. So in this case, no other force will be acting on the object other than the gravitational force. As the gravity influences the object in free fall, the acceleration attained by any object in free fall is same. And this acceleration is termed as acceleration due to gravity. Since, the gravity gives the acceleration to every object experiencing free fall, then the acceleration should be constant. Thus, a heavy object and a light object will have same acceleration during free fall.
Heavier objects will free-fall more quickly than lighter objects.
Objects in free-fall do not experience air resistance.
Mass and weight are the same.
Answer:
Objects in free-fall do not experience air resistance.
Explanation:
This comes from the definition of free-fall: an object in free fall is an object which is falling and the only force acting on it is gravity. Therefore, air resistance is not present for an object in free-fall. As a result, the acceleration of any object in free-fall is always equal to g (gravitational acceleration), and so all the objects fall with the same velocity and same time, regardless of their mass.
If the object is massive then the acceleration of gravity is faster, such objects will free fall more quickly than lighter objects. The objects in free fall do not experience air resistance are all true statements because the force of gravity which depends upon weight.
It is directly proportional to the weight. Yet the mass and weight are not same because mass is only value in kilograms but the weight is the value in which mass and gravitational acceleration are included. However, its unit is kilograms - 2 which is equal to Newton law of formula which is also unit of force.
What is the final speed of the car after this work is performed?
Answer:
9.4 m/s
Explanation:
The work-energy theorem states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object.
So we can write:
where in this problem:
W = -36.733 J is the work performed on the car (negative because its direction is opposite to the motion of the car)
is the initial kinetic energy of the car
is the final kinetic energy
Solving for Kf,
The kinetic energy of the car can be also written as
where:
m = 661 kg is the mass of the car
v is its final speed
Solving, we find
Answer:
496.7 K
Explanation:
The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:
where:
is the temperature of the hot reservoir
is the temperature of the cold reservoir
For the engine in the problem, we know that
