Answer:

c-) both objects will reach the bottom at the same instant.

(b) decrease.

Explanation:

Although the feather is lighter than the coin, the tube where the experiment is performed is evacuated. Therefore there is no air that prevents the feather from falling freely with the same acceleration and speed as the coin.

In fact in the equations of kinematics proposed by Newton, the mass of the bodies is not taken into account, as we can see in the following equation:

v_{f}= v_{i} +g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time [s]

Therefore the answer is C.

Gravitational pull is a function of height, as the height of the body increases, the force of gravity decreases.

Is gas matter? How do you know? Hint: Remember there are 2 things we need to be considered matter.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.

In addition to solids and liquids, gases are also a physical state in which matter can occur. All gases have weight. Unlike solids and liquids, gases will occupy the entire container that encloses them.

matter is "anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)

     <em>Gases have mass. The space between gas particles is empty. Gases can be formed as products in chemical reactions. Gas particles can form bonds between them under certain conditions</em>

<em>       Gases have volume which isn't fixed </em>(no fixed volume)<em> and no fixed shape. Gases expand to fill the space available. They can also be compressed into a very small space.</em>

Alja [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

surface area of furnace = 6 x .6²

=2.16 m²

Rate of heat loss = k A ( θ₂ -θ₁ ) / t where k is coefficient of thermal conductivity , A is surface involved , θ₂ -θ₁  is temperature difference and t is thickness .

For fire clay thermal conductivity

= .05 W / m . K

.05 x 2.16 x ( 630 - 70 ) / .04

= 1512 W

= 1.5  kW .

Why do you think glass bottles keep water cold longer?
Nina [5.8K]

Because glass is not a good heat conductor. What it means is that heat isn't transfered through its structure as quickly as it would with metal, for instance. Because heat can't penetrate glass as quickly, the contents stay at the same temperature for longer.
