Air resistance is a form of friction that acts to slow down any object moving in the air

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it true or false?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Well what do you think? Think of what happens in real life to an object in the air.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its true.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

But why do you think it's true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its true because, just like a plane it can only go so fast in the sky.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yep. And another easy example if something like a feather, or paper... why do they fall so slowly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks sooooo much! you really helped me .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following changes when an unbalanced force acts on an object? Select one: a. inertia b. weight c. motion d. mass

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Again, which one do you think changes when a force acts on an object? eg pushing an object

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you are in circular motion, your direction of motion is constantly changing. Therefore you are accelerating. Select one: True False

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

How can mass change when a force acts on something? mass is a measure of how much matter is in something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

weight? that's how much some one weigh

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

a. inertia b. weight c. motion d. mass only one of these changes when a force acts on it... think about what happens when you push on an object, or pull on an object, what happens to it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The motion . because its moving?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Correct. It's mass, inertia and weight all won't change.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following descriptions of gravitational force is NOT true? Select one: a. it depends on the mass of the object b. it is a replusive force c. it exists between all objects d. it depends on the distance between the objects

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

If you understand gravity, it should be easy to decide... one of those doesn't make sense.
