A circuit is a closed circle that electricity can flow through.
Answer:
A. a meteor traveling unhindered through space
Explanation:
The answer to this question would be a transverse wave, because the vibration travels parallel to the direction that the wave is traveling.
Explanation:
In a vacuum (no air resistance), it doesn't. All falling objects, regardless of mass, accelerate at the same rate.
However, when air resistance is taken into account, heavier objects indeed fall faster than lighter objects, provided they have the same shape and size. For example, a lead ball falls faster than a styrofoam ball.
To understand why, first look at what factors affect air resistance:
D = ½ρv²CA
where ρ is air density,
v is velocity,
C is drag coefficient,
and A is cross sectional area.
As falling objects accelerate, they eventually reach a maximum velocity where air resistance equals weight. This is called terminal velocity.
D = W
½ρv²CA = mg
v = √(2mg/(ρCA))
If we increase m while holding everything else constant, v increases. So two objects with the same size and shape but different masses will have different terminal velocities, with the heavier object falling faster.
