Answer:

the penny will sink because it is more compressed and has less air bubbles and a stronger mass and the cork will do the exact opposite since it has less mass and more air pockets.

Two equally charged, 1.00 g spheres are placed with 2.00 cm between their centers. when released, each begins to accelerate at 2

Leya [2.2K]

1) Force = m*a = 1.00 g * (1kg / 1000 g) * 225 m/s^2 = 0.225 N

2) Charge

Force = K (charge)^2 /(distance)^2 => charge = √ [Force * distance^2 / k]

k = 9.00 * 10^9 N*m^2 / C^2

charge = √ [0.225 N * (0.02 m)^2 / 9.00* 10^9 N*m^2 / C^2 ]

charge = 0.0000001 C = 0.0001 mili C

A man is standing on the edge of a 20.0 m high cliff. He throws a rock horizontally with an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s.

kherson [118]

Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle d=v.t$

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}$

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}$

t = 2.02 s

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

The range is calculated now:

$\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02$

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

Zoe is shown two mystery boxes that are both 8,000cm3. Her teacher tells her that one mystery box is filled with rocks and the o

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The box of rocks will have depression which can be seen without touching the box.

Explanation:

The density of rocks is very large as compared with napkins. So, the weight of the rocks will be much more greater than that of napkins.

As both boxes have same volume the heavier box will show depression on the lower surface as compared to the lighter box. So, the box of rocks will have depression which can be seen without touching the box.
