Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Which statement best compares the accelerations of two objects in free fall?  1.The heavier object has a greater acceleration. 2.The object that has the greater surface area has the lower acceleration 3. The object that has the smaller mass has the greater acceleration 4.The objects have the same acceleration "

Answer:

The objects have the same acceleration.

Explanation:

The free fall movement was studied by the Italian physicist Galileo Galilei. According to his studies, Galileo showed that bodies in free fall, even those of different masses, would reach the ground at the same time, as they would be subject to the same acceleration. The free fall is, therefore, a movement described by the bodies, abandoned at a certain height, which happens exclusively by the effect of local gravity. In this type of movement, we disregard the effect of drag or friction forces.

dmitriy555 [2]
Using Kepler's third law which is defined as the square of the average distance is directly proportional to the cube of the period. It is expressed as P^2 = a^3, Given that the a = average distance is given, the period would be much easier to compute. P = sqrt(27^3) = 140

Which statement best describes scientific laws? (1 point)
erica [24]

Answer:

The best statement would be scientific laws describe phenomenon that can be observed in nature. Sometimes, laws are related to principle defining and predicting a certain happening without explaining its nature. It is different with ‘hypothesis’ or ‘theory’ as it aims to answer only the ‘what’ (observation only)...

Explanation:

hopefully this is correct

Two teams are playing tug-of-war. Team A, on the left, is pulling on the rope with an effort of 5000 N. If the rope is moving at
Mashutka [201]

Explanation:

If Team A is on the left, B is on the right

if the force is constant, it means that the effort applied is equal.

So Team B is pulling 5000N to the right.

. Alpha-emitting substances, such as radon gas, can be a serious health hazard only if _____. their radiation strikes the skin t
Masja [62]

Answer:Answer:

They are inhaled or eaten

Explanation:

Radioactivity can be defined as the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously emits ionizing radiation and charge particles. This eventually results in the formation of an energetically stable atomic nucleus.

Examples of radioactive elements are Uranium, Polonium, Thorium, Radon, etc. The radiation emitted during this process is classified as;

1. Alpha radiation (α).

2. Beta radiation (β).

3. Gamma radiation (G).

Alpha-emitting substances, such as radon gas, can be a serious health hazard only if they are inhaled or eaten. Alpha-emitting substances compared to other radiation has very short-range particle and as such cannot penetrate the human skin or body.

A basketball with mass of 0.8 kg is moving to the right with velocity 6 m/s and hits a volleyball with mass of 0.6 kg that stays
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

26.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial sum of momentum equals the final sum.

p=mv where p is momentum, m is the mass of object and v is the speed of the object

Initial momentum

The initial momentum will be that of basketball and volleyball, Since basketball is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

p_i= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*6+0.6*0=48 Kg.m/s

Final momentum

p_f= m_bv_b+m_vv_v=8*4+0.6*v_v=32+0.6v Kg.m/s\\32+0.6v_v=48\\0.6v=16\\v_v=16/0.6=26.66666667\approx 26.67 m/s
