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.

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 5.1 m/s, directed at an angle of 55° above the horizontal. The end of the ra
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer

given,

initial velocity of skateboard = 5.1 m/s

angle above the horizontal = 55°

height of the ramp = 1 m

a) maximum height of projectile

  H = \dfrac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}

  H = \dfrac{5.1^2\times sin^2 55^0}{2\times 9.81}

         H =  0.889 m

the maximum height of the skateboard above the ground

         = 1 + 0.889

         = 1.889 m

b) time to reach the height

   t = \dfrac{u\ sin\theta}{g}

   t = \dfrac{5.1\ sin55^0}{9.8}

          t = 0.426 s

horizontal distance = u cos θ × t

                                = 5.1 × cos 55° × 0.426

horizontal distance = 1.25 m

It decomposes in a first-order reaction with a rate constant of 14 s–1. how long would it take for an initial concentration of 0
VikaD [51]
The rate constant of a reaction can be computed by the ratio of the changes in the concentration and time take taken for it to decompose. Thus, if the rate constant is given to be 14 M/s, we have 

rate = \frac{-(C_{new} - C_{old})}{t}

where C are the concentration values and t is the time taken for it to decompose.

14 = \frac{-(0.02 - 0.06)}{t}
t = 0.003 s

Thus, it will take 0.003 s for it to decompose.
Answer: 0.003 s

How is energy conserved in a transformation?

As the water plunges, its velocity increases. Its potential energy<span> becomes kinetic</span>energy<span>. The law of conservation of </span>energy<span> states that when one form of </span>energy<span> is</span>transformed<span> to another, no </span>energy<span> is destroyed in the process. ... So the total amount of </span>energy<span> is the same before and after any </span>transformation<span>.
