How do you think air resistance affects measured values of g? If you used a ping pong ball, for example, how would this affect t

he fall-time? Would you expect the ping pong ball and the steel ball to land at the same time if they were both dropped from a height of ϭ.ϱm? What would happen if you dropped both balls from a height of ϮϬm?

Answer:

A) Air resistance acts in a direction opposite the the fall of an object reducing it by doing work against the weight of the object due to gravity.

B) using a ping pong ball, the time of fall will be greatly reduced since it has little weight (its mass x acceleration due to gravity) against the air resistance. The net downward force of the weight and the air resistance will be small.

C) No, I wouldn't expect them to fall at the same time. The steel ball will have more weight compared to the ping pong ball and hence it will have a larger net force downwards.

D) If they are both released from a 6 m height, the steel ball will fall to the ground first since it has a larger net force downwards.

❖ The correct answer choice is B) is multicellular. When something is multicellular, it consists of two or more cells. When something is unicellular, it consists of only one cell and in this case we have 5 million red blood cells so that wouldn't make sense.

A book on a 2-meter high shelf has a mass of 0.4 kg. What is its potential energy?
poizon [28]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 7.84 \ Joules}}

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

PE=m*g*h

where <em>m </em>is the mass, <em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration, and <em>h</em> is the height.

The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.

m=0.4 \ kg \\g=9.8 \ m/s^2 \\h=2\ m

Substitute the values into the formula.

PE=(0.4 \ kg)(9.8 \ m/s^2)(2 \ m)

Multiply the first two numbers.

  • 0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
  • If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
  • 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N

PE=(3.92 \ N )(2 \ m)

Multiply.

  • 3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
  • 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
  • Our answer is equal to<u> 7.84 Joules.</u>

PE=7.84  \ J
