imagine that two balls, a basketball and a much larger exercise ball, are dropped from a parking garage. If both the mass and ra

dius of the exercise ball are 3 times larger than the mass and radius of the basketball, which of the two balls do you think will reach the ground first? Make a hypothesis below and describe your reasoning.

Hypothesis

Let there is no air drag or any other resistance force due to surrounding

Now the force equation of ball is given as

F = mg

ma = mg

a = g

so the ball will be dropped down by acceleration a = g and this acceleration is independent of size and mass of the ball

So in this case both balls will be dropped by same acceleration.

So here both balls will hit the ground at same time

You have a light spring which obeys Hooke's law. This spring stretches 2.92 cm vertically when a 2.70 kg object is suspended fro
ehidna [41]

(a) 907.5 N/m

The force applied to the spring is equal to the weight of the object suspended on it, so:

F=mg=(2.70 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=26.5 N

The spring obeys Hook's law:

F=k\Delta x

where k is the spring constant and \Delta x is the stretching of the spring. Since we know \Delta x=2.92 cm=0.0292 m, we can re-arrange the equation to find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{26.5 N}{0.0292 m}=907.5 N/m

(b) 1.45 cm

In this second case, the force applied to the spring will be different, since the weight of the new object is different:

F=mg=(1.35 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=13.2 N

So, by applying Hook's law again, we can find the new stretching of the spring (using the value of the spring constant that we found in the previous part):

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{13.2 N}{907.5 N/m}=0.0145 m=1.45 cm

(c) 3.5 J

The amount of work that must be done to stretch the string by a distance \Delta x is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring, given by:

W=U=\frac{1}{2}k\Delta x^2

Substituting k=907.5 N/m and \Delta x=8.80 cm=0.088 m, we find the amount of work that must be done:

W=\frac{1}{2}(907.5 N/m)(0.088 m)^2=3.5 J

When an electric soldering iron is used in a 110 V circuit, the current flowing through the iron is 2 A. What is the resistance
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Now we know by Ohm's law that

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.

Introducing the constant of proportionality, the resistance,the Ohm's law can be mathematically represented as

V=I x R

Where V is the voltage measured in volts

I is the current measured in amperes

R is the resistance measured in ohms


Given:

I = 2 A

V= 110 V

Applying Ohm's law and substituting the given values in the above formula we get

V=I x R

110 = 2 X R

R = 55 ohms

What is the frequency of this wave?
Anastasy [175]
In telecommunication systems, Carrier frequency is a technical term used to indicate: ... The frequency of the unmodulated electromagnetic wave at the output of a conventional amplitude-modulated (AM-unsupressed carrier), or frequency-modulated (FM), or phase-modulated (PM) radio transmitter.

The electric potential difference is the electric potential energy per unit charge

Explanation:

First of all, we define the concept of electric potential. The electric potential is a measure of the gradient of the electric field at a certain point of the space. The electric potential at a distance r from a positive charge of magnitude q is given by

V(r) = \frac{kq}{r}

where k is the Coulomb's constant.

Now we can define the electric potential energy and the electric potential difference:

  • Electric potential energy is the energy possessed by a charge due to the presence of an electric field. For a charge of magnitude q immersed in an electric field, its potential energy is given by U=qV, where V is the electric potential at the location of the charge.
  • The electric potential difference is simply the difference in electric potential between two points in the space. For instance, if the potential at point A is V(A) and the potential at point B is V(B), then the potential difference is \Delta V = V(A)-V(B)

The electric potential energy is also defined as the work done on a charge q moved through a potential difference of \Delta V. Consequently, the potential difference \Delta V represents the work per unit charge done, i.e. the work done when moving a unitary charge through a potential difference \Delta V.
