What else can I help you with?
The gain in speed each second for a freely falling object is about?
9.8 m/s^2. This is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, which causes the object's speed to increase by 9.8 meters per second every second it falls.
How much gain in speed each second does a freely falling object acquire?
That depends on many different factors, the two most obvious ones being friction and gravity. If the object is completely frictionless, and falling at 9.8m/s2 (an approximation of the average acceleration from Earth's gravity), then it would gain 9.8m/s in speed with each second that passes. If on the other hand it was falling in a frictionless environment on Jupiter, it would gain approximately 24.79 m/s.
What is the gain velocity per second for a freely falling object?
The gain velocity per second for a freely falling object is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared, which is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth. This means that the object's velocity increases by 9.81 meters per second for every second it falls.
A falling object that has reached its terminal speed continues to gain what?
A falling object that has reached its terminal speed no longer accelerates due to air resistance balancing the gravitational force. At terminal speed, the object continues to fall with a constant velocity and no longer gains speed.
When a falling object has reached terminal velocity it continues to gain what?
When a falling object has reached terminal velocity, it no longer accelerates due to air resistance matching the force of gravity. At this point, the object continues to fall at a constant speed without gaining any additional velocity.
What happens when there is no air resistance while Falling?
If there is no air resistance while falling, the object will accelerate at a constant rate due to gravity. This means it will continue to gain speed as it falls without any force to slow it down.
Why does a egg gain speed on the way down?
Any falling object, or object that rolls downwards, can gain speed. This can easily be explained by Newton's Third Law: acceleration = force / mass. Force refers to the net force. So, as long as there is a net force downward, the object will continue accelerating. Only when the upwards forces (basically, friction) become as strong as the downward force of gravity will the object start accelerating. In that case, the object is said to have achieved "terminal velocity".
When heat is absorbed by an object the speed of the particles are?
When heat is absorbed by an object, the speed of the particles in the object increases. This increase in speed leads to a rise in temperature as the particles gain kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is reflected in the increased motion and vibration of the particles within the object.
Does something gain potential energy while falling?
Yes, an object gains potential energy while falling due to its position in a gravitational field. As the object falls towards the Earth, its potential energy decreases, converting into kinetic energy.
What force causes a falling object to gain kinetic energy?
Gravity is the force that causes a falling object to accelerate towards the ground, thereby gaining kinetic energy. As the object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy due to the gravitational force acting upon it.
How fast is an object going if its speed and time graph is horizontal?
An object can only gain speed if there is a net force on it. If a net horizontal force acting on an object is large enough, or acts for a long enough time, the object can aquire a speed up to just under the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s.
Can an object gain the velocity of light?
The word object is a very general term. A photon is also an object, and it does travel at the speed of light. But it never travels at any other speed, so it doesn't "gain" that speed. If we were to ask about objects made of atoms, then the answer is no, they can never accelerate to the velocity of light. They can get arbitrarily close, depending upon how much energy is used to accelerate them, but they can never actually get to the full speed of light.
