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

One of the foci for the moon's orbit would be the
suter [353]
The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated.  You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

an audio CD has a diameter of 120 mm and spins at up to 540 rpm. When a CD is spinning at its maximum rate, how much time is req
Andru [333]

Answer:

 t = 0.1111 s

Explanation:

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

    d = 120 mm (1m / 1000 mm)

    d= 0.120 m

    w = 540 rpm (2pi rad / 1 rev) (1 min / 60s)  

     w= 56.55 rad / s

When at maximum speed we can use angular kinematic relationships to find the time for a sperm revolution with zero angular acceleration

     W = θ / t

     t = θ / w

     t = 2π / 56.55

     t = 0.1111 s

Janetta ran a campaign for student body president, and she really wanted to win. She gave election buttons to everyone and told
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

No, because she is hoping that people will vote for her.

Explanation:

Altruism is when you do something for others and have very little expectation of getting something in return. In this case, Janetta expected something in return from her friends. We may not also be sure of the sincerity of Janetta appreciating friendship. From the above definition of altruism, we conclude that Janetta's actions are not altruistic because she hoped that people will vote for her.

Select the correct answer.
Simora [160]

Answer:

A. 2.36 Newtons

Explanation:

F = GmM/d²

F = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹(1)(5.98 x 10²⁴) / (1.3 x 10⁷)²

F = 2.36121...

Very poor question design.
