Which would fall with greater acceleration in a vacuum a leaf or a stone?

2 answers:

3 0

Because its a vacuum, there's no air resistance, they will fall at same time
Applying gravity acceleration rule g=9.8m/s which is taken as 10m/s sometimes.

Answer:

They will both have the same acceleration

Explanation:

Because its a vacuum, which ordinarily means it will be closed (unless otherwise stated), there will be no opposing forces (like air interference) to each of there acceleration due to gravity - each of them will have an acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 m/s2 (or approximately 10 m/s2) and will hit the "ground" at the same time if "dropped" at the same time.

Here, the masses will not be considered because there are no obstructions/opposing forces.

A defibrillator is used during a heart attack to restore the heart to its normal beating pattern. A defibrillator passes 18 A of

miskamm [114]

Answer:

q = 0.036 C

Explanation:

Given that,

Current passes through a defibrillator, I = 18 A

Time, t = 2 ms

We need to find the charge moved during this time. We know that,

Electric current = charge/time

$q=It$

Put all the values,

$q=18\times 0.002\\\\q=0.036\ C$

So, 0.036 C of charge moves during this time.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

$7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.

In this problem, we have:

$r=0.070 cm =7\cdot 10^{-4} m$ is the distance between the charges

$q_1=q_2=q$ since the charges are identical

$F=9.0\cdot 10^{-9}N$ is the force between the charges

Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:

$F=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.0\cdot 10^{-9})(7\cdot 10^{-4})^2}{8.99\cdot 10^9}}=7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C$

a man drags a 8.10 kg bag of mulch at a constant speed, applying a 29.5 N at 38°. what is the coefficient of friction?

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction is 0.38.

Explanation:

The free body diagram is drawn below.

Let $f$ be frictional force acting in the backward direction as shown. Let the coefficient of friction be $\mu$ . Let $N$ be the normal reaction force acting on the bag.

Given:

Mass of the bag is, $m=8.10\textrm{ kg}$

Force acting at $\theta = 38$ ° is $F= 29.5\textrm{ N}$

Acceleration due to gravity is, $g=9.8\textrm{ }m/s^{2}$

The force F can be resolved into its components as $F_{x}=F \cos \theta$ and $F_{y}=F \sin \theta$

Therefore,

$F_{x}=29.5\cos(38)=23.25\textrm{ N}\\F_{y}=29.5\sin(38)=18.16\textrm{ N}$

Now, as there is no acceleration in vertical direction, therefore,

Sum of upward forces = Sum of downward forces

$N+F_{y}=mg\\N=mg-F_{y}=8.10\times 9.8-18.16\\N=79.38-18.16=61.22\textrm{ N}$

Now, as the bag is moving at a constant speed, so acceleration in the horizontal direction is also zero as acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

Therefore, backward force = forward force.

$f=F_{x}\\f=23.25\textrm{ N}$

Now, frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N\\\mu = \frac{f}{N}=\frac{23.25}{61.22}=0.38$

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.38.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Insight

Explanation:

In psychology insight has been described as a sudden knowledge or solution that just came up especially after several attempts to solve the problem.Like Amira after spending two hours to solution and she has given up before the solution finally came up. Answers or solutions from insights are more reliable that non-insightful answers.

Gestalt Psychology, a 20th century psychologist was the first to carry out as study on insight where he saw it as a sudden seeing the problem in a new way or linking the problem to other problem or solution pair or release certain blockages prevent one from seeing the solution etc.
