Acceleration is change in velocity. So it depends on both velocity and time.
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible for an object in freefall to have no acceleration?
No, but it is possible to not have an increase in speed. Because velocity is a directional quantity, not a scalar one, an object in freefall (by definition within a gravity field) is always under acceleration, just not necessarily one that alters its speed or even its position. Objects in orbit around a planet are in freefall (hence weightlessness) where the tangential component of their forward motion opposes the pull of gravity.
What is the difference between freefall and a non freefall?
Freefall is when an object falls under the influence of gravity alone, without any other forces acting on it. In a non-freefall scenario, objects may experience other forces such as air resistance or propulsion that affect their motion.
Are objects in freefall weightless?
Objects in freefall are not weightless; they still have mass and therefore experience the force of gravity. However, in freefall, they are accelerating towards the Earth due to gravity, which gives the sensation of weightlessness as the force of gravity is canceled out by the acceleration.
In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects A True b false?
Faulse
What is the value of acceleration of an object in freefall?
If the object is falling close to earth the acceleration would be 9.81m/s^2. Be sure to define direction as positive or negative in the problem! (When I do problems I like to define the down direction as positive so I don't have to deal with too many negatives)
Acceleration of freefall due to gravity?
At or near the surface of the earth, it's 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 . It's different at significant altitudes above the earth's surface, or on the surface of other, extraterrestrial bodies.
Can a watch be used as an accelerometer?
No. An accelerometer measures its own acceleration relative to freefall. A watch just tells time. One can extrapolate his or her acceleration relative to freefall using a watch, but the watch itself can't tell you how fast you're accelerating. If you're the one doing the calculation, you're the accelerometer, in a sense.There are watches with accelerometers, but an ordinary watch can't be used that way.
The phase ten meters per second squared describes the?
The approximate acceleration of a body in freefall near the earths surface due to earths gravitational pull. The object in freefall gains 9.81 meters per second for every second that elapses (ignoring air resistance).
Is Acceleration intensive or extensive?
Extensive
What is the equation for distance?
Math: d=rt r=rate & t=time Physics: d=0.5gt2 (Freefall) g=acceleration due to gravity & t=time
In freefall do all objects near Earth's surface have the same acceleration?
Without atmospheric drag, all free falling objects near earth's surface will have the same acceleration. But because of friction with the air (air resistance), the velocity of objects due to that acceleration is limited. The actual velocity is dependent on the surface area of the object relative to its mass. The principle of the parachute is to increase the surface area of a falling object with respect to its mass.
If an object is droppes how fast is it traveling after 1 seconds?
In freefall, an object's velocity at a certain time can be calculated using the equation v(t)=a*t Where a=acceleration. On Earth's surface, acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s^2
