Answer:

A. The same amount

Explanation:

The acceleration at which objects free falls to the ground on Earth is constant and its value is always 9.81 m/s^2, regardless of their mass (in this problem we neglect air resistance).

So, it doesn't matter if the two rocks are different or they are launched from different heights: their acceleration will be exactly the same.

This can be proved this way: first of all, the force of gravity exerted on every object is equal to the weight of the object,

F=mg

where m is the mass of the object and g the acceleration of gravity.

However, we also know for Newton's second law that

F=ma

where a is the acceleration of the object.

Combining the two equations,

ma=mg\\a=g

So, the acceleration of an object in free fall is exactly the acceleration of gravity.

Two particles P and Q each moves towards ther along Straight Line (M)(N), 51m long. P starts from M with velocity 5m/s and const
bagirrra123 [75]

The time required by the particles are as follows:

a. t = 1.5 seconds

b. t = 3 seconds

c. t = 0.4 seconds

<h3>What is the time required?</h3>

The time required for the particles to be at several distances apart is calculated using the equation of motion given below:

S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

a) Time required to be 30 m apart:

Assuming the distance covered by P is S1 and distance covered by Q is S2.

S1 + S2 = 51 - 30

S1 + S2 = 21

Substituting the values of velocity and acceleration in the equation of motion above:

5t + 1/2t^2 + 6t + 3t^2 = 21

2t^2 + 11t - 21 = 0

Solving for time, t by factorization, t = 1.5 seconds

b) Time required to meet:

Assuming the distance covered by P is S1 and distance covered by Q is S2.

S1 + S2 = 51

Substituting the values of velocity and acceleration in the equation of motion above:

5t + 1/2t^2 + 6t + 3t^2 = 51

2t^2 + 11t - 51 = 0

Solving for time, t by factorization, t = 3 seconds

c) Time required for velocity of P is ¾ of the velocity of Q:

Using the equation of motion: V = u + at

Vp = 3/4 Vq

4Vp= 3Vq

Substituting the values:

4(5 + t) = 3(6 + 3t)

5t = 2

t = 0.4 seconds

An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 3.0 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bu
Irina18 [472]

here in the given situation if monkey starts free fall at the same instant when veterinarian shoots towards it then we know that vertical component of motion of monkey and the dart will be same as under gravity

so here the dart will always hit the monkey because they both moves under same acceleration

so here for the angle we can use

tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}

now we have

H = 3 m

L = 87.5 m

now we will have

tan\theta = \frac{3}{87.5}

tan\theta = 0.034

\theta = 1.96 degree

so angle will be 1.96 degree above the ground

What are some characteristics of soil? ​
Anarel [89]

Soils are composed of organic matter (stuff that used to be alive, like plants and animals) and small inorganic matter. There are three basic soil types: sand, silt, and clay. Sand is comprised of tiny rock fragments and is the roughest in texture. Clay becomes sticky or greasy when wet, and very hard when dry.

Why do you need to evaluate claims made on product labels?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Option D, The claims may be biased, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer because the primary motive of a company is to earn more profit and it can misguide the consumer by making false and biased claims. Therefore, the evaluation of the claims is the responsibility of the buyers which help them to buy the product beneficial to them. For example, if a product claims that it will glow your skin within seconds then it is the awareness or activeness of the consumer to evaluate such claims which are written on the label and cross verify the ingredients that are used in it because such claims can be false to sell the product.
