What else can I help you with?
When an object falls freely to the ground its acceleration is uniform?
Yes, when an object falls freely due to gravity, its acceleration is uniform and equal to 9.8 m/s^2, directed towards the center of the Earth. This uniform acceleration is the result of the gravitational force acting on the object and is independent of the object's mass.
Does changing the mass of a free falling body affect the value of the acceleration of gravity?
No, changing the mass of a free-falling body does not affect the value of the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is a constant value that is independent of the mass of the object. All objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity.
What is mass multiplied by gravity?
Force or weight Force= mass X acceleration gravity is an acceleration (9.8m/s2) Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity
What do you multiply mass by to get the weight?
To calculate weight, you multiply mass by the acceleration due to gravity. The formula is weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is typically around 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth.
Who is galilei in physics?
Galileo Galilei. Perhaps his most important discovery was finding that acceleration due to gravity is independent of the objects mass.
Will a sky diver with a greater mass accelerate faster that a sky diver with less mass?
No, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass due to gravity, neglecting air resistance. The acceleration of gravity on an object is independent of its mass.
If acceleration equals gravity. what is the weight of the object?
If acceleration is equal to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth), then the weight of the object would be equal to its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. This relationship is described by the formula Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.
How can you say that mass of a body remians uniform everywhere?
Mass is genarally of two types. Inertial Mass and Gravitational Mass. Einstein prooved both are equal. inertial mass is m= Force/acceleration gravitational mass is m= Wieght/acceleration due to gravity. How can you measure mass of apple in absence of gravity(Say somewhere in free space or imagine on any planet whose gravity is almost NIL). Remember that Mass is NOT weight. Mass is different and Weight. Weight is NOT the direct measurement of Mass. You have to devide 'weight' by the acceleration due to gravity of any place(what we call g). Free space is weightless. No balance can work there.
What factors does the weight of an object depend?
Mass and gravity
How do you calculate mass if you are only given weight in Newtons?
Weight = (mass) x (local acceleration of gravity). Mass = (weight) / (local acceleration of gravity) If you know the weight and the local acceleration of gravity, you can calculate the mass. Anywhere on or near the surface of the earth, the local acceleration of gravity is about 9.82 meters per second2 . As an example, an object with a weight of 9.82 newtons has a mass of one kilogram.
How to calculate the acceleration of falling body?
The acceleration of a falling body due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s². This is a constant value and is independent of the mass of the object. The acceleration can be calculated using the formula: acceleration = (force due to gravity) / (mass of the object), where the force due to gravity is given by F = m * g, where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
What happens to acceleration if the mass is increased and due to gravity?
If the mass is increased and gravity remains constant, the acceleration will decrease. This is because the force acting on the object remains the same due to gravity, but as the mass increases, the object will experience a greater resistance to acceleration.
