Describing Free Fall What is the only force that acts on a falling body when it is in free fall?

2 answers:

6 0

"Free Fall" MEANS that the only force acting on the object is
the force of gravity. It may be falling, but if there's any other
force acting on it besides gravity, like maybe air resistance,
then it's NOT in "free fall".

Suppose that the Mars orbiter was to have established orbit at 155 km and that one group of engineers specified this distance as

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

108 km

Explanation:

The conversion factor between meters and feet is

1 m = 3.28 ft

So the second altitude, written in feet, can be rewritten in meters as

$h_2 = 1.55 \cdot 10^5 ft \cdot \frac{1}{3.28 ft/m}=4.7\cdot 10^4 m$

or in kilometers,

$h_2 = 47 km$

the first altitude in kilometers is

$h_1 = 155 km$

so the difference between the two altitudes is

$\Delta h = 155 km - 47 km = 108 km$

Work = force x distance
= 100N (force) x 0.5m (distance)
= 50J

A 4 kW vacuum cleaner is powered by an electric motor whose efficiency is 90%. (Note that the electric motor delivers 4 W of net

RoseWind [281]

Answer: $3.6\ kW$

Explanation:

Given

Power Supplied $[tex]P_{input}=4\ kW$ [/tex]

Efficiency of the motor $\neta =90\%$

and $\neta =\dfrac{\text{Power output}}{\text{Power input}}$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=\dfrac{P_{out}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow P=0.9\times 4$

$\Rightarrow P=3.6\ kW$

So, vacuum cleaner delivers a power of $3.6\ kW$
