How many centimeters (cm) are in 1 mile? _ Knowns:
1.61 kilometer (km) = 1 mile
1000 meter (m) = 1 kilometer (km)
100 centimeter (cm) - 1 m

161,000 cm

Explanation:

1 mi × (1.61 km/mi) × (1000 m/km) × (100 cm/m) = 161,000 cm

science is a systematic and logical approach to discovering how things in the universe work. true to this definition, science aims for measurable results through testing and analysis. science is based on fact, not opinion or preferences. the process of science is designed to challenge ideas through research.

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.
