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.

Earth's core is the source of the energy that drives the movement of tectonic
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

B. Convection

D. Conduction

Explanation:

Conduction and convection are the two most prominent processes that helps transfer energy outward to the earth's crust.

  • Energy within the core is a function of the radioactive decay and frictional heating.
  • Also, heat that accreted during the formation of the earth is a significant source of internal energy.
  • The heat is conducted away by the process of convection. This is possible due to temperature differences between different parts of the earth
  • Conduction is made made possible due to the metallic bodies in the core and other part of the inner earth.

A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

Explanation:

The total linear acceleration (a) consist in two components, <em>radial</em> (a_{r}) and <em>tangential</em> (a_{t}), in meters per square second:

a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r (1)

a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r (2)

Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}} (3)

Where:

r - Radius of the wheel, in meters.

\omega - Angular speed, in radians per second.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.

Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:

\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t (4)

Where:

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

If we know that r = 0.1\,m, \alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}, \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s} and t = 0.60\,s, then the total linear acceleration is:

\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t

\omega = 1.2\,\frac{rad}{s}

a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r

a_{r} = 0.144\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r

a_{t} = 0.2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}

a \approx 0.246\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

A ball is thrown straight up into the air and passes a window 3 seconds after being released. It passes the same window on its w
melomori [17]

The  initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the ball</h3>

The initial velocity of the ball is calculated as follows;

During upward motion

h = vi - ¹/₂gt²

h = vi - 0.5(9.8)(3²)

h = vi - 44.1 ----------------- (1)

During downward motion

h = vi + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + 0.5(9.8)(1.5)²

h = 11.025 ----------- (2)

solve (1) and (2) together, to determine the initial velocity of the ball

11.025 = vi - 44.1

vi = 11.025 + 44.1

vi = 55.125 m/s

Thus, the  initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.
