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.

Fault block mountains form when large blocks of crust are uplifted and tilted along normal faults. The uplifted blocks are called block mountains. They are formed by the movement of large crustal blocks<span> when forces in the Earth's crust pull it apart. Some parts of the Earth are pushed upward and others collapse down.</span>

Are rocks made of matter?​
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Yes, the rocks are made of matter

Explanation:

Let's remember the definition of matter.

Matter is all that has mass and occupies a place in space. Therefore, if we measure the mass of each rock we will know its mass, the other fact is that rocks like any particular body are occupying a place in an empty space.

The opposite of this is antimatter and can its extent be given by the quantum mechanics.

Simple Pendulum: A 34-kg child on an 18-kg swing set swings back and forth through small angles. If the length of the very light
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "4.443 sec".

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of child,

= 34 kg

Mass of swing,

= 18 kg

Length,

= 4.9 m

The time period of pendulum will be:

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{4g}

  = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{4.9}{9.8} }

  = 4.443 \ sec

What is the anomalous expansivity of water
salantis [7]

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4°C to 0°C, and it becomes less dense. The density becomes less and less as it freezes because molecules of water normally form open crystal structures when in solid form.
