Imagine a small child whose legs are half as long as her parent’s legs. If her parent can walk at maximum speed V, at what maxim
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}

Explanation:

We know that speed is given by dividing distance by time or multiplying length and frequency. The speed of the father will be given by Lf where L is the length of the father’s leg ad f is the frequency.

We know that frequency of simple pendulum follows that f=\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}

Now, the speed of the father will be V=Lf= L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}) while for the child the speed will be v=\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})

The ratio of the father’s speed to the child’s speed will be

\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})}{ L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})}\\\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}\\\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}

Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?
Ludmilka [50]
Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.

Gulls are often observed dropping clams and other shellfish from a height to the rocks below, as a means of opening the shells.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

v = 17.71 m / s

Explanation:

We can work this exercise with the kinematics equations. In general the body is released so that its initial velocity is zero, the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity

                v² = v₀² - 2 g (y -y₀)

                v² = 0 - 2g (y -y₀)

when it hits the stone the height is zero and part of the height of the seagull I

              v² = 2g y₀

              v = Ra (2g i)

let's calculate

              v =√ (2 9.8 16)

              v = 17.71 m / s

Which element easily loses one electron to form a positive ion?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer/Explanation: As mentioned above, the characteristic chemical property of a metal atom is to lose one or more of its electrons to form a positive ion. However, certain metals lose electrons much more readily than others. In particular, cesium (Cs) can give up its valence electron more easily than can lithium (Li).
