What else can I help you with?
How do you predict the weight of an object falling eg what is the impact weight of 63 kgs falling 8.9 meters?
The weight of the object (63 kg) will not change as it falls, as weight is a force due to gravity. The impact force on the object can be calculated using the formula F = m * g, where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2). So, the impact force on a 63 kg object falling 8.9 meters can be calculated as 63 kg * 9.81 m/s^2.
Does an object that is freely falling have mass?
Yes, an object freely falling still has mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it remains constant regardless of the object's motion. The force of gravity acting on the object is what causes it to fall.
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity?
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
What are the characteristics of a free falling object?
weight and drag
What are characteristics of a free falling object?
weight and drag
What are the characteristics of a free-falling object?
weight and drag
Why weight of free falling objects is zero?
The mass of an object is the same wherever the object is (even outer space), but its weight depends on how the mass is affected by gravity. So it's convenient to measure weight using scales. If the object was sitting on some scales as they were both falling to earth the scales would show zero because there would be no pressure from the object.
What is used to measure an object's weight?
To measure weight, a scale. To measure mass, a balance.
Is a measure of the pull of gravity on an object?
Weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object. It depends on the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity.
Why might scientists measure the weight of an object rather than the weight of an object?
The mass of an object does not change , but its weight can vary.
Is weight a measure of the quantity of matter?
No, weight is a measure of the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It is not a measure of the quantity of matter, which is more accurately described by mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of the object's location.
What is the measure of the gravitational force on something?
The object's weight is the measure of the gravitational force on that object.
