Alec says the force of gravity is stronger on a piece of paper after it’s crumpled. His classmate, Jordan, disagrees. Alec “prov

es” his point by dropping two pieces of paper, one crumpled and the other not. Sure enough, the crumpled piece falls faster. Has Alec proven his point? Use at least 2 to 3 complete content related sentences to explain.

No, gravity acts equally on all objects.  The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size.  A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly.  In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.

When you increase the temperature of an exothermic reaction the equilibrium will shift?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer : When we increase the temperature of an exothermic reaction the equilibrium will shift to the left direction i.e, towards the reactant.

Explanation :

Le-Chatelier's principle : This principle states that if any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

As the given reaction is an exothermic reaction in which the heat is released during a chemical reaction. That means the temperature is decreased on the reactant side.

For an exothermic reaction, heat is released during a chemical reaction and is written on the product side.

A\rightleftharpoons B+\text{ heat}

If the temperature is increases in the equilibrium then the equilibrium will shift in the direction where, temperature is getting decreased. Thus, the reaction will shift to the left direction i.e, towards the reactant.

Hence, when we increase the temperature of an exothermic reaction the equilibrium will shift to the left direction i.e, towards the reactant.

A crate on a motorized cart starts from rest and moves with a constant eastward acceleration ofa= 2.60 m/s^2. A worker assists t
Leona [35]

Answer:

To obtain the power, we first need to find the work made by the force.

1) To calculate the work, we need the next equation:

\int\limits {F} \, dx

So the force is given by the problem so our mission is to find 'dx' in terms of 't'

2) we know that:

\frac{dV}{dt} = a = 2.6

So we have:

v = 2.6t

Then:

\frac{dx}{dt} = V = 2.6t\\ \\dx = 2.6t*dt

3) Finally, we replace everything:

\int\limits^{4.7}_{0} {5.4t*2.6t} \, dt

After some calculation, we have as a result that the work is:

161.9638 J.

4) To calculate the power we need the next equation:

P = \frac{W}{t}

So

P = 161.9638/4.7 = 34.46 W

An airplane is flying 340 km/hr at 12o east of north. the wind is blowing 40 km/hr at 34o south of east. what is the plane's act
seropon [69]
Define an x-y coordinate system such that
The positive x-axis = the eastern direction, with unit vector  \hat{i}.
The positive y-axis = the northern direction, with unit vector \hat{j}.

The airplane flies at 340 km/h at 12° east of north. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{1} = 340(sin(15^{o})\hat{i} + cos(15^{o})\hat{j} ) = 88\hat{i} + 328.4\hat{j}

The wind blows at 40 km/h in the direction 34° south of east. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{2} =40(cos(34^{o})\hat{i} - sin(24^{o})]\hat{j}) = 33.1615\hat{i} -22.3677\hat{j})

The plane's actual velocity is the vector sum of the two velocities. It is
\vec{v}=\vec{v}_{1}+\vec{v}_{2} = 121.1615\hat{i}+306.0473\hat{j}

The magnitude of the actual velocity is
v = √(121.1615² + 306.0473²) = 329.158 km/h

The angle that the velocity makes north of east is
tan⁻¹ (306.04733/121.1615) = 21.6°

Answer:
The actual velocity is 329.2 km/h at 21.6° north of east.
