According to the experiments done and currently verified, in vacuum (this means there is not air or any fluid), all objects in free fall experience the same acceleration, which is the acceleration of gravity.
Now, in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is [tex]9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]
Note the objects experience the acceleration of gravity regardless of their mass.
Nevertheless, on Earth we have air, hence air resistance, so the afirmation "Free fall is a situation in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity" is not completely true on Earth, unless the following condition is fulfiled:
If the air resistance is too small that we can approximate it to zero in the calculations, then in free fall the objects will accelerate downwards at [tex]9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex] and hit the ground at approximately the same time.

In 1969, humans landed on the moon for the first time. Did the astronaut's weight or mass change? Explain your answer.
Their weight changed but their mass didn't. The moon is smaller than the Earth and has a weaker gravitational pull and makes you weigh lighter. Your weight on the Moon is 16.5% what you would experience on Earth. Mass never changes.
Hope it helps.
In 1969, humans landed on the moon for the first time, the astronaut's weight changed because there is a difference in the gravity of the earth and the moon, but the mass of the astronaut does not change because mass is the content of matter and it is independent of the variation in gravity
What is gravity?It can be defined as the force by which a body attracts another body towards its center as the result of the gravitational pull of one body and another,
The mass of an amount remains constant throughout all planets in the cosmos, but its weight varies depending on the gravity of each one.
Thus, When humans first set foot on the moon in 1969, the astronaut's weight changed due to the difference in the gravitational pull between the earth and the moon, but the astronaut's mass did not change because mass is the component of matter and is unaffected by changes in gravity.

A 10kg sphere hits a stationary 8kg sphere. After the collision the 8kg sphere moves off in the positive direction at 4m/s. If the 10kg sphere was originally moving at 10m/s, what is its velocity after the collision?
M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg
m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg
V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s
v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s
V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?
v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s
using conservation of momentum
M V + m v = M V' + m v'
(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)
100 = (10) V' + 32
(10) V' = 68
V' = 6.8 m/s
A 2.0-kg mass is projected from the edge of the top of a 20-m tall building with a velocity of 24 m/s at some unknown angle above the horizontal. Disregard air resistance and assume the ground is level. What is the kinetic energy of the mass just before it strikes the ground? Answer: 0.97 kJ.
Ox:vₓ=v₀
x=v₀t
Oy:y=h-gt²/2
|vy|=gt
tgα=|vy|/vₓ=gt/v₀=>t=v₀tgα/g

How much force does it take to accelerate a 2000-kg car at 4m/s2
A) 500N
B) 19,600 N
C) .002
D) 8000
Answer:
Force acting on the car, F = 8000 N
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the car, m = 2000 kg
Acceleration of the car, [tex]a=4\ m/s^2[/tex]
We need to find the force used to accelerate the car. The product of mass and acceleration is called the force exerted to an object. It is given by :
[tex]F=m\times a[/tex]
[tex]F=2000\ kg\times 4\ m/s^2[/tex]
F = 8000 N
So, the force acting on the car is 8000 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
Calculate the kinetic energy of a 0.032 kg ball as it leaves a hand to be thrown upwards at 6.2 m/s
Answer:
The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.
Explanation:
Use the kinetic energy formula
[tex]E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}0.032kg\cdot 6.2^2 \frac{m^2}{s^2}= 0.615J[/tex]
The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)
Type the correct answer in the box. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. The population in the United States in 2000 was about 281 million people. In 2015, it was 321 million people. From 2000 to 2015, what percentage did the population increase
We will use the percentage difference formula and so:
[tex]\frac{|Population_{final}-Population_{initial}|}{Population_{initial}}[/tex]
By plugging in our values we obtain:
[tex]\frac{321-281}{281}=0.142349[/tex]
And 0.142349 converted to percentage is :
[tex]0.142349 \times 100 = 14.2349%[/tex]
Therefore, there was a population increase of 14.2349% from 2000 to 2015 in the US.
Given:
Year 2000 = 281 million people
Year 2015 = 321 million people
321 M - 281 M = 40 M
An increase of 40 million people.
40M/281M = 0.14 or 14%.
From 2000 to 2015
the population increased by 14%
how is momentum conserved when a cue ball moving with a velocity of 1.5 m/s strikes another billiard ball white playing pool? Show the work.
according to conservation of momentum , total sum of momentum of the objects taking part in a collision is same before and after the collision.
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after the collision
when a cue ball moving at velocity 1.5 m/s hits a billiard ball , transfer of momentum takes place between the balls such that total sum of momentum of cue ball and billiard ball remain same before and after the collision.
hence we say that the momentum is conserved.

5. Where would a roller coaster have the greatest potential energy? A. at the top of a hill B. halfway up the hill C. halfway down the hill D. at the bottom of the hill
A. at the top of a hill
Final answer:
The roller coaster would have the greatest potential energy at the top of a hill, as potential energy is greatest at the highest point. Option A
Explanation:
The roller coaster would have the greatest potential energy at the top of a hill (option A). At the top of the hill, the roller coaster has the most potential energy because it is at the highest point and has the greatest ability to do work.
As the roller coaster goes down the hill, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
In terms of energy, potential energy is at its maximum at the top of the hill and decreases as the roller coaster moves down, while kinetic energy is at its minimum at the top of the hill and increases as the roller coaster gains speed. Option A

At a distance of 1 A.U., the earth takes one year to travel around the sun. How far away is a planet that takes eight years to go around the sun?
Answer:
4 AU
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the Sun and the cube of its average distance from the Sun is constant for every planet orbiting the Sun:
[tex]\frac{T^2}{r^3}=k[/tex]
where
T is the orbital period
r is the average distance of the planet from the Sun
If we take two planets 1 and 2, the equation can be rewritten as
[tex]\frac{T_1^2}{r_1^3}=\frac{T_2^2}{r_2^3}[/tex]
In this problem, we have:
[tex]T_1 = 1 y[/tex] is the orbital period of the Earth
[tex]r_1 = 1 AU[/tex] is the distance of the Earth from the Sun
[tex]T_2 = 8 y[/tex] is the orbital period of the second planet
Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to calculate r2, the averag distance of the other planet from the Sun:
[tex]\frac{r_2^3}{T_2^2}=\frac{r_1^3}{T_1^2}\\r_2 = \sqrt[3]{\frac{r_1 ^2 T_2^2}{T_1^2}}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1 AU)^3(8 y)^2}{(1 y)^2}} =4 AU[/tex]

An 8.0newton block is accelerating down a frictionless ramo inclined at 15 degrees to the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the net force causing the blocks acceleration?
1. 0N
2. 2.1N
3. 7.7N
4. 8.0N
The magnitude of the net force causing the block's acceleration can be found using Newton's second law of motion. For a block on a frictionless ramp inclined at 15 degrees, the net force is equal to the weight of the block multiplied by the sine of the angle of incline. In this case, the magnitude of the net force is approximately 2.1 newtons.
Explanation:The magnitude of the net force causing the block's acceleration can be determined using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force on an object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. Since the ramp is frictionless, the only force acting on the block is its weight. We can break the weight into two components: the force along the ramp (parallel) and the force perpendicular to the ramp.
The force along the ramp can be found by multiplying the weight by the sine of the angle of incline, which is 15 degrees. The force perpendicular to the ramp is the weight multiplied by the cosine of the angle of incline. Since there is no force perpendicular to the ramp, we only need to consider the force along the ramp. Given that the weight of the block is 8.0 newtons, the magnitude of the net force causing the block's acceleration is 8.0 newtons multiplied by the sine of 15 degrees, which is approximately 2.1 newtons. Therefore, the correct option is 2.1N.
Final answer:
The magnitude of the net force causing the block's acceleration down a 15-degree frictionless incline is 2.1N, calculated using the gravitational force component along the incline.
Explanation:
The student is asking about the magnitude of the net force causing acceleration in a block sliding down a frictionless incline. The block has a weight of 8.0 newtons, and the incline is at a 15-degree angle to the horizontal. To find the net force, we need to calculate the component of the gravitational force that acts along the incline. This is done by multiplying the weight of the block by the sine of the angle of the incline.
Here's the calculation: net force (F_net) = weight (mg) × sin(θ), where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²) and θ is the incline angle. Plugging in the known values, F_net = 8.0 N × sin(15°). The sine of 15 degrees is approximately 0.2588. So, F_net = 8.0 N × 0.2588 ≈ 2.07 N.
Therefore, the correct answer is 2.1N, which is the magnitude of the net force causing the block's acceleration down the incline.

in science and physics what is the standard unit of measure for speed?
meters per second or m/s
The standard unit of measure for speed in physics is meters per second (m/s). It is derived from the SI unit system where speed is calculated as distance over time. Consistent units and including measurement units with values are crucial in physics.
In physics, the standard unit of measure for speed is meters per second (m/s). This unit comes from the International System of Units (SI), which is a consistent framework for physical measurements. Speed is the distance traveled over time, requiring a measurement of length divided by time. Therefore, the dimension of speed is L/T, with L representing length and T representing time, and its SI unit is m/s.
The preservation of consistent units across physics equations is essential; the dimensions on both sides of an equation must match. For instance, you cannot equate quantities that have different dimensions. Since motion can be measured in various units, such as kilometers per hour, it is important to use the correct conversion when comparing or converting speeds. Additionally, speed has a defined value in m/s given that the speed of light is defined in these units since 1983.
Furthermore, when considering units named after people, they are capitalized, as in 'Newtons'. It is critical in physics to always include units in your answer, for they provide context and scale to the value. Therefore, when providing the speed of an object, it should always be expressed with the appropriate unit, like '5 m/s'—not just '5'.

a ramp with a mechanical advantage of 6 is used to move a 36 newton load. what input force is needed to push the load up the ramp
Given data:
Mechanical advantage (M.A) = 6
Load is moved(Output force) = Fo = 36 N,
Input force = Fi = ?
We know that Mechanical advantage = Fo÷Fi
M.A. = Fo÷Fi
6 = 36÷Fi
Fi= 6N
Input force is 6N
To move a 36 N load up a ramp with a mechanical advantage of 6, an input force of 6 N is required. The work done when moving objects up a ramp involves overcoming gravity by applying a force over a certain distance.
Explanation:Mechanical Advantage: The mechanical advantage of a ramp is calculated by dividing the length of the ramp by the vertical height it spans. In this case, with a mechanical advantage of 6, the input force needed can be calculated using the formula: Input Force = Load Force ÷ Mechanical Advantage.
Calculation: Given Load Force = 36 N and Mechanical Advantage = 6, Input Force = 36 N ÷ 6 = 6 N. Therefore, an input force of 6 Newtons is needed to push the 36 Newton load up the ramp.
Work and Energy: When moving objects up a ramp, work is done against gravity. The work done is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The diagram shows a pot sitting on a gas stove burner. Which shows the order in which thermal energy is transferred by conduction? stove burner pan bottom of pan handle top of pan handle top of pan handle bottom of pan handle pan stove burner pan stove burner bottom of pan handle top of pan handle top of pan handle bottom of pan handle stove burner pan
Answer:
stove burner --> pan -- > bottom of pan handle --> top of pan handle
Explanation:
Conduction is one of the three methods of transfer of heat, and it occurs when the heat is transferred by contact/collisions between the molecules of two different mediums/objects (or also between molecules of different parts of the same object).
In this case, the transfer of heat by conduction occurs as follows:
- The stove burner is heated, and it is in contact with the pan --> the molecules of the stove burner move faster (they have more kinetic energy), so they transfer thermal energy (heat) by conduction to the molecules of the pan
- The pan is heated, and the same process occurs, but this time the heat is transferred to the bottom of the pan handle, which is attached to the pan
- Then, the bottom of the pan handle becomes hot, and by conduction heat is transferred also the part of the handle which is farther from the pan, so to the top part of the handle
