The two will fall at the same speed and reach the surface at the same time. This is because the two will experience the same gravitational acceleration on the moon. However, on the earth surface the two will land on the surface of the earth at the same time due to air resistance such that the egg will experience a higher air resistance than the hammer. On, the moon, where there is no noticeable atmosphere there is no air resistance on either object and both fall at the same speed. It is also important to note that their mass doesn't affect their speed.

Answer:

They both reach at the same time.

Explanation:

Let the time taken by the hammer and egg be T and t respectively.

initial velocity, u = 0 for both

Distance traveled, h = h for both

acceleration due to gravity = g for both

By using second equation of motion,

S = ut + 0.5 at^2

For hammer

h = 0 + 0.5 x g x T^2     .... (1)

For egg

h = 0 + 0.5 x g x t^2     ....(2)

By observing equation (1) and equation (2), the time taken by the hammer and the egg is same.

They both reach at the same time.

If ball C is 3 times the volume of ball D and ball D has 1/3 the mass of ball C, which has the greater density?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

They have same density

Explanation:

The density of an object is defined as

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

Let's call m_c and V_c the mass and the volume of ball C, respectively. Therefore, the density of ball C is:

d_c = \frac{m_c}{V_c}

We know that the volume of ball C is 3 times the volume of ball D, so

V_c = 3 V_d \rightarrow V_d = \frac{V_c}{3}

And we also know that ball D has 1/3 the mass of ball C:

m_d = \frac{m_c}{3}

So, the density of ball D is:

v_d = \frac{m_d}{V_d}=\frac{m_c/3}{V_d/3}=\frac{m_c}{V_c}=d_c

Therefore, the two balls have same density.

Pls help with either of these I will give up brainliest
Contact [7]

Answer:

1. The bird close to the center

2. 4/25 of the original force.

Explanation:

1. Tangential velocity is v=w*d (in m/s), where w is the rotational speed, commonly denoted as the letter omega (in radians per second). d is the distance from the center of the rotating object to the position of where you would like to calculate the velocity (in meters).

As we can note, the furthest from the center we are calculating the velovity the higher it is, because the rotational velocity is not changing but the distance of the object with respect to the center is. If v=w*d, then the lower the d (distance) the lower the tangential velocity.

2. Take a look at the picture:

We have the basic equation for the gravitational force.

We have to forces: Fg1, which is the original force, and Fg2, the force when the mass and the distance changes.

If we consider that mass 2 didn't change (m2'=m2), mass 1 is four times its original (m1'=4*m1) and distance is 5 times the original (r'=5*r), then next step is just plugging it into the equation for Fg2.

Dividing the original force Fg1 by the new force Fg2 (notice you can just as well do the inverse, Fg2 divided by Fg1) gives us the relation between the forces, cancelling all the variables and being left only with a simple fraction!

Using what you know about newton's second law explain why a car with a lager mass use more fuel than a car with a smalle mass. a
NNADVOKAT [17]
The car with bigger Mass requires more fuel because More mass the heavier it gets. you can't grab the little car fuel tank and put it in the big car it will run out to fast.

overall answer : The bigger the mass = more weight which means it needs more fuel to run

A person of weight 600 n is standing with one foot on each of two bathroom scales. The scales readings are?
kakasveta [241]

The scales readings are 300 N for each of the scale.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

The weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity.

Weight is a vector quantity because it varies from place to place due to difference in acceleration due to gravity and it is measured in Newton (N).

<h3>Reading of each scale</h3>

The total weight of the person is supported by the two legs and if the person stand on a level ground, the weight will be evenly distributed and each scale will carry half of the person's weight.

The reading of each scale due to the weight of the person is calculated as follows;

Reading of each scale = total weight / 2

Reading of each scale  = 600 N/2

Reading of each scale  = 300 N

Thus, the scales readings are 300 N for each of the scale.
