A rock (m= 2kg) is shot up vertically at the same time that a ball (m= 0.5kg) is projected horizontally. If both start from the

same height: A. the rock and ball will reach the ground at the same time.
B. the rock will reach the ground first.
C. the ball will reach the ground first.
D. the rock and ball will collide in the air before reaching the ground.
Can you explain why the answer is C?

Answer:

The correct option is C. the ball will reach the ground first.

Explanation:

The ball will reach the ground first since the mass of each object does not affect the rate of fall, both are subject to the same gravitational acceleration 9.81 m / s2. The rock in its vertical movement invests a time that the ball is not released horizontally, so that time of vertical flight of the rock plus the extra height it will have will reach the ground after the rock. Regardless of the friction of the air, it will be different in both objects.

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2
liberstina [14]

Answer:

2C

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

Consider a spherical volume of space that is large enough to be considered homogeneous. Also consider a particle on the surface
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Option A applies.

A.  Greater than its escape speed from the mass within the volume

Explanation:

Here it is mentioned that the spherical volume is large enough for the space to be considered as homogeneous. Also, the pressure within the volume is negligible, so that will not result into the re collapse of the Universe. Now as per our knowing, Hubble's Law relates the average speed of the particle to the distance R between the Earth and the particle. So, if the particle's speed is greater than it's escape speed from the mass within the volume, then the Universe is bound to re collapse back again. Option A applies.
