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.

You travel in a car 30 miles north to ava and home again. what is your distance? __________________________________________ what
Luden [163]
If you travel 30 miles somewhere and then come home again your distance is 60 miles.  Your displacement is 0 because it is the ending position minus the beginning position, which are the same place (home).  In other words, displacement is a vector and distance is a scalar.

A car travels across Texas m miles at the rate of t miles per hour. How many hours does the trip take??
Marianna [84]

Answer: The trip takes \frac{m}{t}hours

Explanation:

Velocity V is the variation of the position of a body (distance traveled d) with time T:

V=\frac{d}{T}

In this case, the car travels a distance d=m miles at a velocity V=t \frac{miles}{hour} and we need to find the time it takes the trip.

Isolating  T:

T=\frac{d}{V}=\frac{m miles}{t \frac{miles}{hour}}

Finally:

T=\frac{m}{t}hours

Determine the kinetic energy of a 10 Kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 2m/s.
skelet666 [1.2K]

In this question all required information's are already provided. Based on these details the answer to the question can be easily determined. Let us now write down all the information's that are already given.

Mass of the roller coaster = 1000 kg

Velocity of the roller coaster = 20.0 m/s

We know the formula for finding the kinetic energy is

Kinetic energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity) ^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * (20)^2

                      = 0.5 * 1000 * 400

                      = 200000 Joules

So the Kinetic energy of the roller coaster is 200000 joules.

i hope this helps you friend good luck on your quiz or lesson

(a) Calculate the buoyant force on a 2.00-L helium balloon.
iragen [17]

Answer:

0.0239364 N

0.0057879 N

Explanation:

\rho = Density of the gas

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

V = Volume

Mass of rubber = 1.5 g

Buoyant force is given by

F_b=\rho gV\\\Rightarrow F_b=1.22\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow F_b=0.0239364\ N

The buoyant force is 0.0239364 N

Net vertical force is given by

F_n=F_b-W_{He}-W_{r}\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0239364-0.175\times 2\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81-1.5\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0057879\ N

The net vertical force is 0.0057879 N
