The speed of a falling object is not directly affected by mass. Air resistance is the deciding factor in the time is takes for an object to reach the ground. Two objects of different mass will accelerate at the same rate. This was discovered by Galileo. Newton's second law states that F=ma. This means that if both accelerate at the same rate, then the force acting on the objects must be different, and the greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity that is acting upon the object.

Which composition of water moves to begin a deepwater current?
Paraphin [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

<h2>Cold, Salty water.</h2>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The cold, salty ocean water is denser than the warmer water. Because of higher density, cold water sinks into the bottom of the ocean while warm water remains at the surface.

The sinking of the cold water at depth moving away from the surface generates deepwater currents by a process called upwelling. These deepwater currents bring the nutrient-rich water at the surface providing food and nutrients to marine life.

Please hurry Describe why electric currents can be dangerous. ***what causes it to happen in the circuit not biology****
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.

The main hazards of working with electricity are:

  • Electric shock and burns from contact with live parts.
  • Injury from exposure to arcing, fire from faulty electrical equipment or installations.

Which coefficient is needed in front of NaNO3 to balance the equation Na2S + Zn(NO3)2 → ZnS + _NaNO3? 1, 2, 5, 7,
maksim [4K]

The coefficient is needed in front of NaNO3 to balance the equation is 2.

<h3>What is balanced equation?</h3>

When in a chemical reaction, both the product elements or compounds should have number of moles equal to that of the elements or compounds of reactants.

In the given chemical reaction equation,

Na2S + Zn(NO3)2 → ZnS + _NaNO3

Number of moles of S is 1 on both the product and reactant side. Zn has 1 mole on both side. NO3 has 2 mole and Na has 2 mole on reactant side. So to balance the equation, Na and NO3 both must have 2 moles on product side.

Thus, the coefficient is needed in front of NaNO3 to balance the equation is 2.
