Under the assumption that the three rocks are dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same speed. The gravity of Earth is virtually the same for any object that is small compared to the size of the Earth. The acceleration will change with the distance from the Earth, but this change is so small for the range of heights we work with (consider the range of heights from sea level to the tip of Mount Everest) that we can take the average value and assume it to be constant. This constant value of acceleration due to Earth's gravity is 9.80665m/s²


Because the objects fall under the same constant acceleration, they will hit the ground at the same speed.

natulia [17]

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

= (1.5 V) / (0.35 ohms)

= 4.28 Amperes.

In his famous experiment, Rutherford fired alpha particles at a thin gold film. Most of the alpha particles went through the fir
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

1. The nucleus is about 1/2 the size of the atom

Explanation:

Alpha particles are positive charge particles and they are bounced back by the nucleus because nucleus is also same size

Now in present experiment Rutherford found that very few alpha particles are bounced back along same path which shows that very small region inside the nucleus is having positive charge and rest part of the atom is empty.

Now if we found that half of the alpha particles are bounced back then it shows that size of the nucleus is very large now as compare to previous one because only nucleus can bounce back the alpha particles

so correct answer will be

1. The nucleus is about 1/2 the size of the atom

If an object is rolling without slipping, how does its linear speed compare to its rotational speed? If an object is rolling wit
salantis [7]

Answer:

v = r\omega

Explanation:

If the object is rolling without slipping, every unit of rotated angle equals to a distance perimeter rotated.

Suppose the object complete 1 revolution within time t. The angular distance is 2π rad. Its angular velocity is 2π/t

The distance it covered is its circumference, which is 2πr, and so the speed is 2πr/t

So the linear speed compared to angular speed is

\frac{v}{\omega} = \frac{2\pi r/t}{2\pi /t} = r

v = r\omega
