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.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

A.The four lifestyle choices which I could change are:

1. The amount of physical exercise I engage in on a daily basis.

2, The number of hours I sleep.

3. The quantity of junk foods I consume daily and 

4. Cultivation of the habit of spending time alone daily.

B. My days are always very busy, so I do not engage at all in physical exercise. Adding at least a thirty minute of physical exercise to my daily tasks will improve my health considerable. Due to the nature of my day, I usually eat on the move, thus I eat junk foods everyday. Eating healthy and balanced diet will go a long way in improving my health. I sleep for three hours only everyday, from 2 am to 5 am. This is because I have to leave my house very early in the morning and I don't usually get to sleep until 2 am in the morning. Spending more hours sleeping will improve my overall health. I want to start spending at least 30 minutes alone on a daily basis in order to meditate and to reflect over the events of the day. This will be a great boost to my mental health.

There you go boo, hope this helps!!!!

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Elements in a period have wide range of chemical properties.

Explanation:

  • Period is the row of chemical elements's arrangement in the periodic table. It is numbered from 1 to 7.
  • In period as we move towards right the atomic number of element constantly increases along with the change in chemical properties.
  • As we move from left towards right in period, the valence electron number regularly increases in every element.
  • This valence electron differs the reactivity of the elements.

The heating of groundwater forms
KIM [24]
The appropriate answer is c. geysers. A geysers a hot water fountain that spouts intermittently with great force, frequently accompanied by a thunderous roar. The world famous Old Faithful is located in Yellowstone National Park. This geyser erupts every 65 min sending a jet of water almost 60 meters into the air. Sinkholes and caves are formed by the action of groundwater on carbonate rocks which causes them to colapse and former these structures.
