KCET2009PhysicsLaws of Motion
A body of mass 0.05 ~kg is observed to fall with an acceleration of 9.5 ~ms ⁻² . The opposing force of air on the body is (g=9.8 ~ms ⁻² )
Options
- A0.015 ~N
- B0.15 ~N
- C0.030 ~N
- Dzero
Correct answer
A. 0.015 ~N
Step-by-step solution
From, Newton's laws of motion, or aligned mg - F _ air &= ma F _ air &= m ( g - a ) &=0.05(9.8-9.5) &=0.015 ~N aligned
