If I drop a feather and a elephant from an equal height in a vacuum which will hit the ground first?

Whichever one you drop first will hit the ground first.  If you drop them simultaneously, and they don't interfere with each other on the way down, then they will hit the ground simultaneously.

They will both hit the ground at the same time, as there is no air resistance in a vacuum, and weight does not determine which object will fall faster even where there is gravity.

A 1-kg collar (located at point (2,2) from the origin) is pulled along a vertical, frictionless bar with a force of 10 N applied
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The acceleration of the collar is 10 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the collar, m = 1 kg

applied force on the bar, F = 10 N

The acceleration of the collar can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

where;

F is the applied force

m is mass of the object

a is the acceleration

a = F / m

a = 10 / 1

a = 10 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the collar is 10 m/s²

Why is a motorcycle helmet padded?
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Motorcycle helmets are padded to give the rider the protection they require in case of accidents. Any hit to the head is absorbed by the padding and the rider is saved from any kind of fatal injury. Whenever a motorcycle rider falls from his motorcycle, there is every possibility that the head will hit the ground first. If the padding was not there, then the rider would get the direct impact of hitting. As most of the pressure of the hit gets absorbed by the inner padding of the helmet, so the rider is saved from the fatal accident. It does not mean that the driver will not have minor injuries but by all chance his life would be saved.

State Pascal's principle of transmission of pressure​
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Pascal's law (also Pascal's principle or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure) is a principle in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.
