The mass of ball a is twice the mass of ball b:
m_a = 2 m_b
This means that the initial potential energy of ball a (U_a = m_a gh=2 m_b gh) is twice the potential energy of ball b (U_b = m_b  g h):
U_a = 2 U_b
When the two balls reach the ground, the potential energy of each ball has converted into kinetic energy (since now their altitude is h=0), because the total mechanical energy of each ball must be  conserved. Therefore:
K_a = U_a
K_b = U_b
and so the kinetic energy of ball a must be twice the kinetic energy of ball b:
K_a = 2 K_b

Buhrs atomic model differed from ruthofords because it explained that
Scrat [10]

Buhrs atomic model differed from ruthofords because it explained that electrons exist in specified energy levels surrounding the nucleus. This means that, Ruthoford believed that electrons can't do very much. However, Buhrs' model showed that electrons are much more powerful than anyone else believes they can be.

Why does the density of a substance remain the same for different amount of the substance
tresset_1 [31]

Think of it this way: 
-- Any time you have something that means (some number) PER UNIT,
it doesn't matter how many units there are on the table or in the bucket,
because that amount doesn't change the (number) PER UNIT.

-- If oranges cost $1 PER POUND, it doesn't matter how many pounds
you buy, the whole bagful is still $1 PER POUND.

-- If a certain salad dressing has 40 calories PER Tablespoon, it doesn't
matter whether you eat a drop of it or drink the whole jar.  You still get
40 calories PER Tablespoon.

-- Density means '(mass) PER unit of volume'.  Whether you have a tiny
chip of the substance or a whole truckload of it, there's still the same
amount of mass IN EACH unit of volume.

How do longshore currents shape the land?
Sonbull [250]
Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.

What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 70.0 kg man to cool his body 1.00 ∘C? The heat of vaporization of water at
romanna [79]

Answer:

100 cc

Explanation:

Heat released in cooling human body by t degree

= mass of the body x specific heat of the body x t

Substituting the data given

Heat released by the body

= 70 x 3480 x 1

= 243600 J

Mass of water to be evaporated

= 243600 / latent heat of vaporization of water

= 243600 / 2420000

= .1 kg

= 100 g

volume of water

= mass / density

= 100 / 1

100 cc

1 / 10 litres.
