Abaton twirler in a marching band complains that her baton is defective. the manufacturer specifies that the baton should have an overall length of l= l 70.0 cm and a total mass between 960.0 and 970.0 g (there is one 365-g objects on each end). also according to the manufacturer, the moment of inertia about the central axis passing through the baton should fall between 0.0900 and 0.0950 kg/m2. the twirler (who has completed a class in physics) claims this is impossible. 1) what is the minimum moment of inertia? (express your answer to three significant figures.) kg⋅m2 k g m 2 2) what is the maximum moment of inertia

gravity

explanation:

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.
