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.

What volume (in liters) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (see section 17.6;
antiseptic1488 [7]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Mass = 0.0565 Kg,

Density = 900 kg/m³

             = 0.0565 kg/ 900 kg /m³

             = 6.3 × 10^-5 M³

but; 1000 L = 1 m³

Hence, <u>volume = 6.3 × 10^-2 L</u>

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Its best approach to this measurement ought to be to indicate that there was a mistake throughout the calculation, as well as the gathering of further details while researching cells for bacteria, directly measuring the cell length of a colony. This chart illustrates its data, which scientists have observed that there's still a measurement.

Se dispone de dos vasos con agua a 20 grados y queremos calentarlo hasta alcanzar 50 grados. Si el primero contiene 0,5l y el se
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The cup with 0.5L

Explanation:

To know what amount of water you take into account the specific heat of the water. The specific heat of water is:

c_{water}=4186\frac{J}{kg\°C}

Thus, 4186 J of energy are needed to icrease the temperature of 1 kg water in 1°C. Then, more grams of water will need more energy.

You have that one cup has 0.5 L and the other one has 750mL = 0.75L

The second cup of water will need more heat because the amount of water contained in the second cup is greater than in the first cup with 0.5L

A ray of light travels from air to water. Which statement about the angle of incidence, reflection and refraction is true? a. Th
jeka57 [31]

The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the <em>angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection</em>.

In this question, the light ray passes from air to water, an optically denser medium.

Imagine drawing a line to representing the boundary between two mediums. Now imagine drawing a line perpendicular to that boundary line marking where the light ray intersects the boundary line. This second line is called the normal. Whenever a light ray passes into a denser medium with a nonzero angle of incidence, the ray will bend towards the normal, making the <em>angle of refraction smaller than the angle of incidence</em>.

Choice A
