Answer:

B. The time for both of the balls to reach the ground was the same.

Explanation:

Galileo showed that objects fall at the same time regardless of their weight, it is a matter of their resistance to air that arrives or not before. In a system where there is no air and therefore no friction, the objects fall at the same time and that has been demonstrated many times.

The answer is "B".. Galileo discovered that dropping two items of the same mass, they can have different weights but no matter what the force that is acting upon them is the same amount, so this means that both objects will hit the ground at the same time. Galileo tested this theory and proved it right.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it.  That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So <u><em>the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation</em></u>.

An air bubble of volume 20 cm³ is at the bottom of a lake 40 m deep, where the temperature is 4.0°C. The bubble rises to the sur
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

100 cm³

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is absolute pressure, V is volume, n is number of moles, R is ideal gas constant, and T is absolute temperature.

n and R are constant, so:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

If we say point 1 is at 40m depth and point 2 is at the surface:

P₂ = 1.013×10⁵ Pa

T₂ = 20°C + 273.15 = 293.15 K

P₁ = ρgh + P₂

P₁ = (1000 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 40 m) + 1.013×10⁵ Pa

P₁ = 4.933×10⁵ Pa

T₁ = 4.0°C + 273.15 = 277.15 K

V₁ = 20 cm³

Plugging in:

(4.933×10⁵ Pa) (20 cm³) / (277.15 K) = (1.013×10⁵ Pa) V₂ / (293.15 K)

V₂ = 103 cm³

Rounding to 1 sig-fig, the bubble's volume at the surface is 100 cm³.

A bomb of mass 4 kg, initially at rest, explodes breaking into two fragments of 1 kg and 3 kg. Which one of the following statem
Kazeer [188]

Answer: The 1 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 3kg fragment.

Explanation:Here for the bomb, its chemical energy gets converted into the mechanical energy.

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the two bodies will have equal momentum and to satisfy this condition the lighter mass will have the higher velocity.

∵ momentum, p = mass × velocity

∴The 1 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 3kg fragment.
