A cannon ball launched horizontally with a speed of 20m/s and a baseball dropped off a cliff and it accelerates at a rate of 10m

/s^2. Which will hit the ground first?

If they both start from the same height, then they both hit the ground at the
same time.  It makes no difference if their horizontal speeds aren't equal.
The cannon ball still accelerates downward at the same rate as the baseball.

Water flows through a 4.50-cm inside diameter pipe with a speed of 12.5 m/s. At a later position, the pipe has a 6.25-cm inside
jek_recluse [69]

Given,

The initial inside diameter of the pipe, d₁=4.50 cm=0.045 m

The initial speed of the water, v₁=12.5 m/s

The diameter of the pipe at a later position, d₂=6.25 cm=0.065 m

From the continuity equation,

\begin{gathered} A_1v_1=A_2v_2 \\ \pi(\frac{d_1}{2})^2v_1=\pi(\frac{d_2}{2})^2v_2 \\ \Rightarrow d^2_1v_1=d^2_2v_2 \end{gathered}

Where A₁ is the area of the cross-section at the initial position, A₂ is the area of the cross-section of the pipe at a later position, and v₂ is the flow rate of the water at the later position.

On substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} 0.045^2\times12.5=0.065^2\times v_2 \\ \Rightarrow v_2=\frac{0.045^2\times12.5}{0.065^2} \\ =5.99\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the flow rate of the water at the later position is 5.99 m/s

Two identical loudspeakers 2.30 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Abby is standing (4.5^2 + 2.3^2)^1/2   from the far speaker

D2 = 5.05 m from the far speaker

The difference in distances from the speakers is

5.05 - 4.5 = .55 m     (Let y be wavelength, lambda)

n y = 4.5

(n + 1) y = 5.05 for the speakers to be in phase at smallest wavelength

y = .55 m          subtracting equations

f = v / y = 340 / .55 = 618 / sec     should be the smallest frequency

Imagine Two Artificial Satellites Orbiting Earth At The Same Distance. One Satellite Has A Greater Mass Than The Other One? Whic
Bad White [126]

After reading this whole question, I feel like I've already
earned 5 points !

-- Two satellites at the same distance, different masses:

The forces of gravity between two objects are directly
proportional to the product of the objects' masses.  In
other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object on its surface are proportional to the mass of
the object.  In other words, people with more mass weigh more
on the Earth, and the Earth weighs more on them. 

If the satellites are both at the same distance from Earth,
then the Earth pulls on the one with more mass with greater
force, and also the one with more mass pulls on the Earth
with greater force.

-- Two satellites with the same mass, at different distances:

The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them. 
In other words, the gravitational forces between the Earth
and an object are inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between the object and the center of the Earth. 

If the satellites both have the same mass, then the Earth
pulls on the nearer one with greater force, and also the
nearer one pulls on the Earth with greater force.

-- Resistor in a circuit when the voltage changes:

The resistance depends on how the resistor was manufactured. 
Its resistance is marked on it, and doesn't change.  It remains
the same whether the voltage changes, the current changes,
the time of day changes, the cost of oil changes, etc.

If you increase the voltage in the circuit where that resistor is
installed, the current through the resistor increases.  If the current
remains constant, then you can be sure that somebody snuck over
to your circuit when you weren't looking, and they either installed
another resistor in series with the original one to make the total
resistance bigger, or else they snipped the original one out of the
circuit and quickly connected one with more resistance in its place.

Newton's first law states that objects do not change their velocity unless acted upon
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Air resistance/Drag (this is the proper term for air resistance) or gravity or friction

It depends on the direction and if you throw it across a surface or if you throw it straight upwards.

I hope this helps!!
