Is the expression "The bigger they are, the harder they fall" a generally true statement since, in the absence of air resistance

, all objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity? Pick the most correct answer.
Yes, because as a heavier man falls, he comes closer to the center of the earth and he falls faster.
No, since the acceleration is the same, each man will be affected the same by it as he falls.
Yes, since F = ma, therefore "a" will be the same in each case, but the mass of each will be different.
Yes, since F = ma, the heavier an object is, the more it will accelerate and therefore fall with more force.

No, because in oxygen depraved rooms, if you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same height and time, they will fall at the same speed and have the same amount of impact.

Answer:

No, since the acceleration is the same, each man will be affected the same by it as he falls.

Explanation:

In the problem, we are told that air resistance is gone. The reason a heavier man would fall harder is because the heavier a man, the less the air resistance would affect him. The air resistance is arguably the only factor that applies in what makes heavier men fall harder. So, if the aire resistance is gone and both mean are falling at exactly the same speed, then they will hit the ground equally as hard, making the correct answer B.

Hope this helps and makes sense.

(a) For series circuit, current in 14 ohms = current in 72 ohms = 0.698 A

(b) Power loss in each series resistor, 14 ohms = 6.82 W and 72 ohms = 35.1 W.

(c) For parallel circuit, current in 14 ohms = 4.29 A and current in 72 ohms = 0.83 A

(d) Power loss in each parallel resistor, 14 ohms = 257.4 W and 72 ohms = 49.8 W.

<h3>Current in each series resistors</h3>

The total resistance = R1 + R2

                              R = 14 + 72 = 86 ohms

Current = V/R = 60/86 = 0.698 A

Since the resistors are in series, current in 14 ohms = current in 72 ohms = 0.698 A

<h3>Power loss in each series resistor</h3>

P = I²R

P(14 ohms) = (0.698)² x 14 = 6.82 W

P(72 ohms) = (0.698)² x 72 = 35.1 W

<h3>Current in each resistor for parallel arrangement</h3>

Total resistance, 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2

1/R = 1/14 + 1/72

1/R = 0.0853

R = 1/0.0853

R = 11.72

Total current in the circuit = V/R = 60/11.72 = 5.12 A

Current in 14 ohms = 60/14 = 4.29 A

Current in 72 ohms = 60/72 = 0.83 A

<h3>Power loss in each parallel resistor</h3>

P = IV

P(14 ohms) = (4.29) x 60 = 257.4 W

P(72 ohms) = 0.83 x 60 = 49.8 W

In the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, an electron orbits a proton in a circular orbit of radius 0.53 X 10^-10 m. What is elect
maxonik [38]

Answer:

a) 27.2 V

b)27.2 V

Explanation:

Charge of the electron =charge of the proton = q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Radius = r = 0.53×10⁻¹⁰ m

Electric Potential = V = k q/r

k = 9 ×10⁹ N m²/C² = Coulomb's constant.

V = (9 ×10⁹)(1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹)/( 0.53×10⁻¹⁰) = 27.2 V

b) Potential Energy of the electron =  k q × q / r

   = [(9 ×10⁹)(1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹)(1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹) / (0.53×10⁻¹⁰)] / (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹) eV,

since 1 electron volt = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹)joules

   = 27.2 eV

Can someone please help me with these physics problems? I just don’t even know where to start.

#1

for the block of mass 5 kg normal force is given as

F_n = mg

F_n = 5*9.8 = 49 N

friction force is given as

F_f = \mu F_n

F_f = 0.1*49 = 4.9 N

Net force is given as

F_{net} = ma

F_{net} = 5*2 = 10 N

now we know that

F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f

10 = F_{app} - 4.9

F_{app} = 14.9 N

#2

Normal force is given as

F_n = mg

F_n = 6*9.8

F_n = 58.8 N

now we know that

F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f

F_{net} = 0

as object moves with constant velocity

F_{app} = F_f = 15 N

now for coefficient of friction we can use

F_f = \mu F_n

15 = \mu * 58.8

\mu = 0.255

#3

net force upwards is given as

F = 1.2 * 10^{-4} N

mass is given as

m = 7 * 10^{-5} kg

now as per newton's law we can say

F = ma

1.2 * 10^{-4} = 7 * 10^{-5} * a

a = 1.71 m/s^2

#4

As we know that when block is sliding on rough surface

part a)

net force = applied force - frictional force

F_{net} = F_{app} - F_f

ma = F_{app} - F_f

5*6 = 40 - F_{f}

F_f = 40 - 30 = 10 N

part b)

for coefficient of friction we can use

F_f = \mu F_n

10 = \mu * F_n

here normal force is given as

F_n = mg = 5*9.8 = 49 N

now we have

\mu = \frac{10}{49} = 0.204

#5

if an object is initially at rest and moves 20 m in 5 s

so we can use kinematics to find out the acceleration

d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a(5^2)

a = 1.6 m/s^2

now net force is given as

F_{net} = ma

F_{net} = 10*1.6 = 16 N

#6

an object travelling with speed 25 m/s comes to stop in 1.5 s

so here acceleration of object is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = \frac{0 - 25}{1.5} = -16.67 m/s^2

now the force is gievn as

F = ma

F = 5*16.67 = 83.3 N
