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.

1. If a model train car with a momentum of 12 kg•m/s collides with a 2 kg model train car that is not moving, what is the total

wariber [46]

Answer:

$P_{f} = 12 \ kg.m/s$

Explanation:

Given data:

Momentum of moving model train, $P_{1} = 12 \ kg.m/s$

Mass of the stationary model train, $m = 2 \ kg$

Initial speed of the stationary model train, $v = 0$

Assume there is no external force is acting on the given train system.

In this case, the total linear momentum of the trains would be conserved.

Let the final linear momentum of the trains be $P_{f}.$

Thus,

$P_{i} = P_{f}$

$P_{1} + P_{2} = P_{f}$

$P_{1} + mv = P_{f}$

$12 + 2 \times 0 = P_{f}$

$\Rightarrow \ P_{f} = 12 \ kg.m/s.$

A swing that is 9.2m long has a child in it who is swinging. what is its period in seconds

Fantom [35]

The child on a swing can be modeled as a simple pendulum. The period of a simple pendulum is given by

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }=2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{9.2m}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} } }=6.09s$
