Two soft objects are sliding without friction across a horizontal surface when they collide completely inelastically, sticking together. in a certain frame of reference mass m is moving at 30?
from theta x at speed v when it collides at x = y = 0 with the other mass 2 m, moving at the same speed at angle ? below the theta x axis. the objects fuse together and move off along the +x axis at speed v, which is (like theta) unknown.

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.
