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

Being able to see a square in the middle of the image despite not having lines to form a square represents the Gestalt principle
vredina [299]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is -

C. closure.

Gestalt principle of closure describes how we perceive complete figures even when the information that form the figure is missing.

This is due the fact that our brain responds to the familiar patterns inspite of getting incomplete information.

For instance, in the given question, we are able to perceive an image of square in the center despite not having actual lines that form a square.

Thus, it represents principle of closure.

Dejamos caer un objeto desde lo alto de una torre y medimos el tiempo que tarda en llegar al suelo que resulta ser de 0,02 minut
Harman [31]

Answer: a) 11.76 m/s  b) 7.056 m

Explanation:

The described situation is as follows:

An object is dropped from the top of a tower and when measuring the time it takes to reach the ground that turns out to be 0.02 minutes.

This situation is related to free fall, this also means we have constant acceleration, hence the equations we will use are:

V_{f}=V_{o}+at (1)  

{V_{f}}^{2}={V_{o}}^{2}+2ad (2)  

Where:  

V_{f} Is the final velocity of the object

V_{o}=0 Is the initial velocity of the object (it was dropped)

a=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

d is the height of the tower

t=0.02min=1.2 s is the time it takes to the object to reach the ground

b) Begining with (1):

V_{f}=0+at (3)  

V_{f}=at=(9.8 m/s^{2})(1.2 s) (4)  

V_{f}=11.76 m/s (5)  This is the final velocity of the object

a) Substituting (5) in (2):

(11.76 m/s)^{2}=0+2(9.8 m/s^{2})d (6)  

Clearing d:

d=\frac{(11.76 m/s)^{2}}{2(9.8 m/s^{2})} (7)  

d=7.056 m (8)  This is the height of the tower

When you are driving on a rural road, if your right wheels run off the pavement, you should hold the steering wheel firmly and
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

C). Take your foot off the gas pedal. Then brake lightly until you are moving at low speed.                    

Explanation:

While driving on roads of rural areas, if our right wheel moves off the pavement, we should always hold the steering wheel firmly and then take our foot off the gas pedal, then apply brake lightly until we are moving at a low speed.

      When our wheels drift off the pavement area, we should not panic and yank. And instead of turning the wheel back in the left direction towards the road, it is always safer to take off our foot from the gas pedal and then apply brakes slowly. When our vehicle slows down check the incoming traffic behind us and then we should slowly move back on to the pavement.
