Select Earth in the menu box so that there is now a force of gravity. Now the total energy of the weight/spring/Earth system is the sum of the kinetic energy, the elastic potential energy, and the gravitational potential energy. When is the kinetic energy a maximum? (It may help to watch the simulation in slow motion).

the expression 15n + 2(3p) represents the amount isaiah spent buying gasoline and snacks, where n represents the price of each gallon of gasoline and p represents the cost of each snack that he bought. which statement is true about the amount isaiah spent?

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
