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.

Can someone explain how exactly to calculate the net force? Do you subtract the smaller number from the larger number? Any help
aleksley [76]

Explanation:

Let's say right is positive and left is negative.

F₁ = -150 N

F₂ = 220 N

Fnet = F₁ + F₂

Fnet = -150 N + 220 N

Fnet = 70 N

The magnitude of Fnet is 70 N, and since it's positive, the direction is to the right.

And since Fnet isn't 0, the force is unbalanced and the motion is changing.

What problim in flywheel
Gwar [14]

Answer:

There are several tell-tale signs that there is a problem with either the starter or flywheel that is preventing your car from starting or causing starting issues. Free spinning is when, for some reason, the starter gear is just spinning without contacting anything. The sound is similar to that of a small drill spinning.

please can u mark me as branliest
