A block of mass m attached to the end of a spring of spring constant undergoes simple harmonic motion with amplitude and angular frequency . The position of the block is described by a cosine function with an initial phase angle phi=0. Suppose that each of the variables m,,, and phi is increased in value.
1. Classify which increases produce an increase in the frequency of oscillation and which do not. Increases frequency Does not increase frequencyOptions:a. increase Ab. increase kc. increase md. increase phi

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.
