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.

A flat loop of wire consisting of a single turn of cross-sectional area 8.20 cm2 is perpendicular to a magnetic field that incre
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The  induced current is I  =  6.25*10^{-4} \  A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The number of turns is  N  =  1

     The  cross-sectional area is  A  =  8.20 cm^2  =  8.20 * 10^{-4} \ m^2

    The  initial magnetic field is  B_i  =  0.500 \ T

     The  magnetic field at time =  1.02 s  is  B_t =  2.60 \ T

     The  resistance is  R  = 2.70\  \Omega

The  induced emf is mathematically represented as

       \epsilon  = - N  *   \frac{ d\phi }{dt}

The  negative sign tells us that the induced emf is moving opposite to the change in magnetic flux

      Here  d\phi is the change in magnetic flux which is mathematically represented as

        d \phi  =  dB  *  A

Where  dB  is the change in magnetic field which is mathematically represented as

        dB  =  B_t  - B_i

substituting values

        dB  =   2.60 -  0.500

        dB  =   2.1 \ T

Thus  

      d \phi  =  2.1 * 8.20 *10^{-4}

     d \phi  = 1.722*10^{-3} \ weber

So  

     |\epsilon|  = 1   *   \frac{ 1.722*10^{-3}}{1.02}

     |\epsilon|  = 1.69 *10^{-3} \  V

The  induced current i mathematically represented as

      I  =  \frac{\epsilon}{ R }

  substituting values

       I  =  \frac{1.69*10^{-3}}{ 2.70 }

       I  =  6.25*10^{-4} \  A

A pickup truck is carrying a load of gravel. The driver hits a bump and gravel falls out, so that the mass if the truck is one h
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Earth's gravity would increase with the increase in Earth's mass. The driver hits a bump and the gravell falls out, so that the mass of the truck is one half as large after hitting the bump.

To answer this question, suppose that each vehicle is moving at 7.69 m/s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on col
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Force(F) = -80,955.01 N

Explanation:

We need to first determine the impulse that the truck driver received from the car during the collision

So; m₁v₁ - m₂v₂ = (m₁m₂)v₀

where;

m₁ = mass of the truck = 4280 kg

v₁ = v₂ =  speed of the each vehicle = 7.69 m/s

m₂ = mass of the car = 810 kg

Substituting our data; we have:

(4280×7.69) - (810×7.69) = (4280+810)v₀

32913.2 - 6228.9 = (5090)v₀

26684.1 =  (5090)v₀

v₀ = \frac{26684.1}{5090}

v₀ = 5.25 m/s

NOW, Impulse on the truck = m (v₀ - v)

= 4280 × (5.25 - 7.69)

= 4280 ×  (-2.44)

= -10,443.2 kg. m/s

Force that the seat belt exert on the truck driver can be calculated as:

Impulse = Force × Time

-10,443.2 kg. m/s = F (0.129)

F = \frac{-10,443.2}{0.129}

Force(F) = -80,955.01 N

Thus, the Force that the seat belt exert on the truck driver = -80,955.01 N
