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.

1. A 25.35-g piece of iron absorbs 1562.75 Joules of heat energy, and its temperature
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Q = C M T        where C is the specific, M the mass, T the temperature change

Note 1 cal = 4.19 Joules

1562.75 J / (4.19 J/cal) = 378 cal

C = Q / (M * T) = 378 cal / (25.35 g * 155 deg C)

C = .096 cal / g deg C

The distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

<h3>LINEAR MOTION</h3>

A straight line movement is known as linear motion

Given that Ann is driving down a street at 15 m/s. Suddenly a child runs into the street. It takes Ann 0.75 seconds to react and apply the brakes.

To know how many meters will she have moved before she begins to slow down, we need to first list all the given parameters.

  • speed = 15 m/s
  • time t = 0.75 s

From definition of speed,

speed = distance / time

Make distance the subject of the formula

distance = speed x time

distance = 15 x 0.75

distance = 11.25m

Therefore, the distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

What is the main promblem with survey research?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A major problem in all survey research is that respondents are almost always self-selected. Not everyone who receives a survey is likely to answer it, no matter how many times they are reminded or what incentives are offered.

Explanation:

<em><u>DISADVANTAGES</u></em>

Respondents may not feel encouraged to provide accurate, honest answers.

Respondents may not feel comfortable providing answers that present themselves in a unfavorable manner.

Respondents may not be fully aware of their reasons for any given answer because of lack of memory on the subject, or even boredom.
