A ball is projected horizontally from the top of a cliff. At the same moment, a second identical ball is dropped from rest from

the same location. Which ball lands on the ground first? Assume free fall motion.
1. The horizontally projected ball lands on the ground first.2. The ball dropped from rest lands on the ground first.3. Both balls land on the ground at the same time.

Answer:3

Explanation:

First ball is thrown with horizontal velocity while other ball is dropped from cliff such that both have zero vertical velocity. So both balls have to cover a distance equal to the height of cliff with same initial velocity.

time taken is given by t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

where h=height of cliff

g=acceleration due to gravity

horizontal velocity to first ball will make the ball to travel more horizontal distance as compared to second ball.

Option 3 is correct

15 Points , Physics HW, can someone please show me step by step how to calculate percent difference for this problem. My numbers
timofeeve [1]

The percent difference between two numbers x and y is given by

\dfrac{|y-x|}x \times 100\%

The absolute value is there because we only care about the absolute percent difference, and not taking into account whether we go from x to y or vice versa. If we remove them, we have two possible interpretations of percent difference.

For example, the (absolute) percent difference between 3 and 6 is

\dfrac{|6-3|}3 \times 100\% = 100\%

In other words, we add 100% of 3 to 3 to end up with 6. This is the same as the percent difference going from 3 to 6. On the other hand, the percent difference going from 6 to 3 is

\dfrac{3-6}3\times100\%=-50\%

which is to say, we take away 50% of 6 away from 6 to end up with 3.

"Make comparisons to object measurements" tells us that the differences should be computed relative to "measurements for object". In other words, take x from the left column and y from the right column.

\dfrac{|7.1-7.3|}{7.1} \times 100\% \approx 2.82\%

\dfrac{|4.8-5.0|}{4.8} \times 100\% \approx 4.17\%

\dfrac{|7.2-7.5|}{7.2} \times 100\% \approx 4.17\%

In 1996, astronomers discovered an icy object beyond pluto that was given the designation 1996 tl 66. it has a semimajor axis of
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer : 2446 years.

Explanation :

Length of semi major axis is, a=84\ au= 1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

According to Kepler's third law, square of time period of an orbit is directly proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

i.e T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

where G is gravitational constant

M is  mass of sun, M=1.98\times 10^{30}\ Kg

So, T^2=\dfrac{4\times (3.14)^2}{6.6\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg\times 1.98\times 10^{30}\Kg}

T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times(84\times 1.496\times 10^{11})^3

T^2=3\times 10^{-19}\times 1984415.6\times 10^{33}

T^2=59532469.8\times 10^{14}\ s

T=7715.7\times 10^7\ s

since, 1\ sec=3.17\times 10^{-8}\ years

So, orbital period is approximately 2446 years.

when two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of
Ahat [919]

<h2>When two object P and Q are supplied with the same quantity of heat, the temperature change in P is observed to be twice that of Q. The mass of P is half that of Q. The ratio of the specific heat capacity of P to Q​</h2>

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity

It is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree celsius .

It is given as :

Heat absorbed = mass of substance x specific heat capacity x rise in temperature

or ,

Q= m x c x t

In above question , it is given :

For Q

mass of Q = m

Temperature changed =T₂/2

Heat supplied = x

Q= mc t

or

X=m x C₁ X T₁

or, X =m x C₁ x T₂/2

or, C₁=X x 2 /m x T₂                                 (equation 1 )

For another quantity : P

mass of P =m/2

Temperature= T₂

Heat supplied is same that is : X

so, X= m/2 x C₂ x T₂                            

or, C₂=2X/m. T₂                                   (equation 2 )

Now taking ratio of C₂ to c₁, We have

C₂/C₁= 2X /m.T₂  /2X  /m.T₂

so, C₂/C₁= 1/1

so, the ratio is 1: 1
