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.

An FM radio station broadcasts at 9.23 × 107 Hz. Given that the radio waves travel at 3.00 × 108 m/s, what is the wavelength of
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

3.2m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of the FM radio = 9.23 x 10⁷Hz

Velocity of the waves = 3  x 10⁸m/s

Unknown:

Wavelength of the wave = ?

Solution:

To solve for the wavelength of the wave, we need the velocity equation;

       Velocity = frequency x wavelength.

Radio waves are all electromagnetic radiations produced by both electrical and magnetic fields perpendicularly oriented to one another.

 Since the unknown is wavelength, we solve for it:

       

    3  x 10⁸  = 9.23 x 10⁷ x wavelength

          wavelength = \frac{ 3 x 10^{8} }{9.23 x  10^{7} }

        wavelength = 3.2m

Gravity provides a centripetal force on the Moon, helping it stay in orbit around Earth.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Both gravity and centrifugal force act on the Moon which causes it get pulled towards Earth (gravity) and get "flung away" so it doesn't hit us (centrifugal force).

BigorU [14]

Answer:

  v = 54.2 m / s

Explanation:

Let's use energy conservation for this problem.

Starting point Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        m g h = ½ m v²

         v² = 2gh

         v = √ 2gh

Let's calculate

         v = √ (2 9.8 150)

         v = 54.2 m / s
