For thousands of years people thought that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects. In fact, this is something that we

can sometimes observe in our everyday lives. But according to Galileo this is wrong! His Law of Falling Bodies says that all objects fall at the same rate. After watching the assigned video please comment on how it is possible that Galileo's theory says one thing but our everyday experience says something else.

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Gallileo is CORRECT in a vacuum where there is<u> no air friction</u>

  <u>air friction</u> affects same or different weight objects differently  and will cause same-weight   or different weight  objects to fall at different speeds

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

material work function is 0.956 eV

Explanation:

given data

red wavelength 651 nm

green wavelength 521 nm

photo electrons = 1.50 × maximum kinetic energy

to find out

material work function

solution

we know by Einstein photo electric equation  that is

for red light

h ( c / λr ) = Ф +  kinetic energy

for green light

h ( c / λg ) = Ф +  1.50 × kinetic energy

now from both equation put kinetic energy from red to green

h ( c / λg ) = Ф +  1.50 × (h ( c / λr ) - Ф)

Ф =( hc / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr  - 1/ λg)

put all value

Ф =( 6.63 ×10^{-34} (3 ×10^{8} )  / 0.50) × ( 1.50/ λr  - 1/ λg)

Ф =( 6.63 ×10^{-34} (3 ×10^{8} ) / 0.50 ) × ( 1.50/ 651×10^{-9}   - 1/ 521 ×10^{-9})

Ф = 1.5305  ×10^{-19} J  × ( 1ev / 1.6 ×10^{-19} J )

Ф = 0.956 eV

material work function is 0.956 eV

The average force of a baseball is 18.9 N . It’s mass is 0.145kg fine the acceleration in m/s^2
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

the acceleration is 130.3m/s²

Explanation:

Given data

Force F= 18.9N

Mass of ball m= 0.145kg

Acceleration a=?

Applying the Newton's second law of motion

"The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the external force".

F=ma

a= F/m

a= 18.9/0.142

a= 130.3m/s²
