It is only due to air resistance ! if air resistance is not there , both will acquire same speed and fall with same speed !!

If you did the same experiment where there is no matter or simply we say 'vacuum', you'll see that no matter what their mass is they'll fall at same speed and will reach ground at the same time, whereas this case is completely different practically. 
The reason behind is 'drag force' or 'air resistance'.

More the matter is less will be drag force and less the matter is more will be the drag force.
This drag force reduces the gravitational force exerted by earth and hence its downward acceleration decreases. As a result lighter object takes more time to reach ground than heavier objects.
Hope this helps!

Which explains upwelling in the oceans?
Leokris [45]

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.

An AC adapter for a telephone answering machine uses a transformer to reduce the line voltage of 120 V to a voltage of 5.00 V. T
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

35

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial voltage,V_1=120 V

Final voltage, V_2=5 V

Number of tuns in primary coil of the transformer, N_p=840

Rms current, I_{rms}=580mA=580\times 10^{-3} A

1 mA=10^{-3} A

We have to find the number of turns  are there on the secondary coil.

We know that

\frac{N_s}{N_p}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}

Using the formula

\frac{N_s}{840}=\frac{5}{120}

N_s=\frac{5}{120}\times 840=35

Hence, there are  number of turns on the secondary coil=35

Why do you think matter so varied
Natali [406]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. A mixture is matter that can vary in composition.....because, the substances in a heterogeneous mixture are not evenly mixed, two samples of the same mixture can have different amounts of the substance....

Hope this answer help u!!!!

How large an expansion gap should be left between steel railroad rails if they may reach a maximum temperature 40.0°C greater th
ella [17]

Answer:

19.68 × 10⁻³ m

Explanation:

Given;

Original Length, L₁ = 41.0 m

Temperature Change, ΔT = 40.0°C

Thermal Linear expansion of steel is given to be, ∝_{steel} = 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C

   Generally, Linear expansivity is expressed as;

                               ∝ = ΔL / L₁ΔT

Where

∝ is the Linear expansivity

ΔL is the change in length, L₂ - L₁

L₂ is the final length

L₁ is the original length

ΔT is the change in temperature θ₂ - θ₁ (Final Temperature - Initial Temperature)              

From equation of linear expansivity

                         ΔL = ∝_{steel}L₁ΔT

                         ΔL = 12 × 10⁻⁶ /°C × 41.0 m × 40.0 °C

                         ΔL = 19.68 × 10⁻³ m

                         ΔL = 19.68 mm
