While falling, both the sheet of paper and the paper ball experience air resistance. But the surface area of the sheet is much more than that of the spherical ball. And air resistance varies directly with surface area. Hence the sheet experiences more air resistance than the ball and it falls more slowly than the paper ball.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
Explanation:
You are looking for the resistance to start with
W = E * E/R
75 = 240 * 240 / R
75 * R = 240 * 240
R = 240 * 240 / 75
R = 57600 / 75
R = 768
Now let's see what happens when you try putting this into 110
W = E^2 / R
W = 120^2 / 768
W = 18.75
So the wattage is rated at 75. 18.75 is a far cry from that. I think they intend you to set up a ratio of
18.75 / 75 = 0.25
This is the long sure way of solving it. The quick way is to realize that the voltage is the only thing that is going to change. 120 * 120 / (240 * 240) = 1/2*1/2 = 1/4 = 0.25
Answer:
Planting of trees on sloped surfaces is a method of conservation that utilizes the roots of plants. Planting trees on such areas would prevent hazards and maintain the soil formation future since the roots would hold the soil together preventing or minimizing any soil erosion.
Answer:
A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy
Explanation:
If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.
However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.
From the geometry of the problem, the 20 m-long cable creates
the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the extended of the other two sides of
size 20 m * cos(30 deg), which is around 17.3 m. Therefore, the ball has increased
by 20 m - 17.3 m = 2.7 m.
The potential energy will have altered by m*g*h, which is 1400 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 *
1.6 m , or about 37044 joules.
