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.

soaring birds and glider pilots can remain aloft for hours without expending power. Discuss why this is so.
vekshin1

Answer:

Since their wings and body develop the drag. When there is warm air then they expand their wings. Since,soaring birds and glider pilots have no engine, they always maintain their high speed to lift their weight in air for hours without expending power by convection

A hot-air balloon plus cargo has a mass of 308 kg and a volume of 2910 m3 on a day when the outside air density is 1.22 kg/m3. T
lesya [120]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1.114 kg/m³

Explanation:

The total mass of the air in the balloon and the balloon + cargo will be the mass of the displaced air. If d is the density of the air in the balloon, then we have ...

  2910d +308 = 2910×1.22

Solving for d, we find ...

  2910d = 2919(1.22) -308

  d = 1.22 -308/2910

  d ≈ 1.114 . . . kg/m³

The density of the hot air is about 1.114 kg/m³.

The initial and final velocities of two blocks experiencing constant acceleration are respectively −7.45 m/s and 14.9 m/s. (a) T
ikadub [295]

Answer:

a) a_{1}=3.7 m/s^{2}

b) a_{2}=3.68 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

a) The displacement of the first object is 22.5 m, so we can use the next equation:

v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2}+2a\Delta x

a=\frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{i}^{2}}{2x}

a=\frac{14.9^{2}-(-7.45)^{2}}{2*22.5}

a_{1}=3.7 m/s^{2}

positive acceleration.

b) Using the same equation we can find the second value of the acceleration:

a=\frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{i}^{2}}{2x}

a=\frac{14.9^{2}-(-7.45)^{2}}{2*22.6}

a_{2}=3.68 m/s^{2}

positive acceleration.

I hope it helps you!

Describe what would happen if you rubbed a mineral with a Mohs hardness value of 7 against a mineral with a value of 5?
chubhunter [2.5K]
The mineral with Mohs hardness would be scratched because the mineral with Mohs 7 hardness is stronger than the Mohs 5 mineral. Eventually, that mineral would turn into dust if you kept rubbing it.
