We're missing one essential piece of information that we need in order to answer this question.  You have not specified <em>what planet</em> the object is falling on.  The answer depends on the gravitational acceleration on that planet, and they're all different.

Without that information, we'll just go ahead and assume that the object is falling to the surface of the Earth.  Wherever on Earth this tense drama is unfolding, the acceleration of gravity is going to be around <em>9.8 m/s²</em> everywhere.

So THAT's the object's acceleration if there is no air resistance.  The object's MASS makes no difference.  It doesn't matter whether the object is a sparrow feather or a school bus. Heavier objects DO NOT fall faster than light objects.

If there is no air resistance, then ALL objects fall with the same acceleration.    It's called the "acceleration of gravity" on that planet or moon, and you can easily look it up.  It's 9.8 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon, 3.71 m/s² on Mars, 8.87 m/s² on Venus, and 24.8 m/s² on Jupiter.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

D. Synthetic polymers are inexpensive to produce.

Explanation:

Hailey should include that synthetic polymers are inexpensive to produce as a benefit of synthetic polymers.

Synthetic polymers are artificially produced. These polymers come about from petroleum oil. Their hydrocarbons are industrially worked to produce the long chain hydrocarbons to form polymers.

Most of these polymers are very cheap to produce and does not cost too much. This is why they almost found everywhere.

Suppose that an object undergoes simple harmonic motion, and its displacement has an amplitude A = 15.0 cm and a frequency f = 1
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Maximum speed ( v ) = 10.4 m/s (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Amplitude A = 15.0 cm = 0.15 m

Frequency f = 11.0 cycles/s (Hz)

Find:

Maximum speed ( v )

Computation:

Angular frequency = 2πf

Angular frequency = 2π(11)

Angular frequency = 69.14

Maximum speed ( v ) = WA

Maximum speed ( v ) = 69.14 x 0.15

Maximum speed ( v ) = 10.371

Maximum speed ( v ) = 10.4 m/s (Approx)

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Thin, aluminium and buried underground.

Explanation:

When it comes to electrification of a state or province, some characteristics of the wire to use must be considered. This would help to minimize and avoid power loss and wire burns.

i. The wire to use should be thin, and a quite number can be twisted one against the other so as to increase the surface area for heat dissipation.

ii. Aluminium wire is more preferable for this project. It has a high melting point, and reduces energy loss.

iii. Burying the wire underground through an insulator is the best choice, though expensive but would preserve the wire from external influence.

Give a simple explanation why the pressure changes by this factor.Word Bank:1. two2.greater3.smaller4.four5.eightDoubling the sp
diamong [38]

Answer

speed of the molecules

s₁ = v t

when velocity is doubled

s₂ = (2 v)t

   = 2 s₁

they will hit the wall of container two times as often.

the momentum of molecule

p₁ = mvr

p₂ = m(2v)r = 2(mvr)

    = 2 p₁

the momentum change is two times as great.

force is change in momentum

Δp = F(Δt)

mv-(-mv) = 2 mv

F = \dfrac{2 mv}{\Delta t}

F α v

therefore average force impart to the wall on each collision is two times

p = \dfrac{F_{total}}{A}

p = \dfrac{Nmv^2}{3LA}

p α v²

here the velocity is doubled it means pressure becomes four times.

A girl and her bicycle have a total mass of 40 kg. At the top of the hill her speed is 5.0 m/s. The hill is 10 m high and 100 m
Serhud [2]

Answer:

v =   11 m/s   is her final speed

Explanation:

work done by gravity = m g Δh =   40×9.8×10   = 3920 Joules

Work done by friction = - force×distance =   - 20×100   =   - 2000 Joules

[minus sign because friction force is opposite to the direction of motion]

Initial K.E. = (1/2) m u^2 = (1/2) × 40 × 5^2   = 500 Joules

Now, by work energy theorem

Work done = change in kinetic energy.

Final K.E. = initial K.E. + total work =    500 + 3920 - 2000  = 2420 Joules

Now, Final K.E. = (1/2) m v^2  [final speed being v= speed at the bottom]

⇒  2420 = (1/2)×40×v^2

   ⇒  121 = v^ 2

  v =   11 m/s   is her final speed
