The teacher shared a demonstration with the same students. She begin by standing on a desk, holding a book and an open piece of

paper in the air, away from her body.. She asked her students: "Which will hit the ground first if I drop them?" Based on the previous data, the students answered that they would hit the ground at the same time. When she dropped them, the book hit the ground first. Next she crumpled up the paper and repeated the experiment.
Elaborate on the two paper drops. Was there different results? Why?

A) No. In both cases, the book dropped faster than the paper because it had so much more mass.
B) Yes. The crumpled paper dropped at the same rate as the book; the flat sheet did not due to air resistance.
C) In both cases the paper fell at the same rate because in both cases the air resistance and the masses were the same.
D) Yes there was a difference in the rate at which the papers fell. The crumpled paper had the same air resistance as the book so they fell at the same rate.

Practice Exercises Name: : Billy-Joe stands on the Talahatchee Bridge kicking stones into the water below a) If Billy-Joe kicks
babymother [125]

Answer:

a) The answer is 11,7m

b) The time it takes to fall will be shorter

Explanation:

We will use the next semi-parabolic movement equations

H=Hi+Viy*t+1/2*g*t

X=Xi+Vx*t

Where g(gravity acceleration)=9,81m/s^2

Also Xi, Hi and Viy are zero, as the stones Billy-Jones is kicking stay still before he moves them, so we take that point as the reference point

The first we must do is to find how much time the stones take to fall, this way:

t=(5.40m)/(3.50m/s)

Then t=1,54s

After that we need to replace t to find H, this way

H=(1/2)*(9,81m/s^2)*(1,54s)^2

Then H=11,7m

b) The stones will fall faster as the stones will be kicked harder, it will cause the stones move faster, it means, more horizontal velocity. In order to see it better we could assume the actual velocity is two times more than it is, so it will give us half of the time, this way:

t=(5,40m)/(2*3,50m/s)

Then, t=0,77

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 2.5kg object that is 300m above the surface of the earth? g=10m/s
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

7350 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy: This is defined as the energy possessed by a body due to it's position in the gravitational field. The S.I unit is Joules(J).

Applying,

E.p = mgh..................... Equation 1

Where E.p = Gravitational potential Energy, m = mass of the object, h = height of the object above the surface of the earth, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: m = 2.5 kg, h = 300 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

E.p = 2.5(300)(9.8)

E.p = 7350 J.

As 390 g of hot milk cools in a mug it transfers 30 000 j of heat to the environment. whats is the temperature change of the mil
Fed [463]
You have to use the specific heat equation. 

Q = cmΔT where Q is the energy, c is specific heat, m is mass, and ΔT is change in temp.

So we can substitute our variables into the equation.

30000J = (390g)(3.9J*g/C)ΔT

Solving for ΔT, we get:

30000J/[(390g)*(3.9J*g/C) = ΔT

ΔT = 19.72386588C

I'm assuming the temperature is C, since it was not specified.

Hope this helps!
