Two objects, one having three times the mass of the other, are dropped from the same height in a vacuum. At the end of their fal

l, their velocities are equal because the force of gravity is the same for both objects. Is this not true?

Answer:

For two or more bodies of different mass released from height in a vacuum have the same velocity but varying force

Explanation:

Consider a body H with initial velocity (u) and final velocity V undergoing acceleration a and covering a distance( s)

From Network equation of motion it can be seen that

V^2=u^2+2as

From this it can be seen that velocity is not dependent on the the masses of the body.

Rather it depends on acceleration due to gravity which is a constant for both of the body

Answer:

Two objects will have the equal velocities but the forces on both of them will not be equal. The equal velocities of these objects are due to their equal acceleration.

Explanation:

From the newton's equation

v^{2} -u^{2} = 2as

so here we can say that velocity does not depends on the mass.

The acceleration of both objects will be same but not the forces because

F = Ma

As the force is depending on the mass so it will not be the same for both objects.

schepotkina [342]
Use the formula 1/2*I*w^2 where w is the angular speed and I is the rotaional inirtia (for disk it is .5*mass*radius^2).

A hammer is dropped from the roof of a building 1000 meters tall. How long will it
ipn [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's use the kinematic equation

s = ut + ½at²

Where

s = distance fallen

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

a = acceleration

Here the hammer is dropped so a = g = gravitational acceleration

u = 0 because the hammer is dropped.

So by substituting you get,

1000 = 0 + ½×10×t²

t² = 200

t = 14.14 s

Describe the process of electricity generation and the efficiency and economics of it
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The process of producing electric energy or the amount of electric energy produced by transforming other forms of energy into electrical energy; commonly expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh). Electric power plant efficiency η is defined as the ratio between the useful electricity output from the generating unit, in a specific time, and the energy value of the energy source supplied to the unit in the same time period.  For electricity generation based on steam turbines 65% of all prime energy is wasted as heat.  The maximum theoretical energy efficiency is defined in more detail by the Rankine cycle. For modern practical systems this is about 40% but less for older generating plant.  The efficiency falls still further if fuels with lower energy content such as biomass are used to supply the plant. The economics of power generation based on reciprocating engines depends to a large extent on the use to which the engine is to be put. The cheapest engines available are small petrol-driven engines based on car engines, which are manufactured in large numbers each year.
