Explain why the types of technology valued can vary.

2 answers:

4 0

Over time, the types of technology can vary and be improved upon so that more advanced techniques become more valued. This could be the situation with mining whereby back in the 1500's in underground mines the rock was broken by fire setting ie lighting a fire below the rock face to heat up the rock and then throwing cold water on it to crack it, so that it could be dug by hand. With the advent of explosives, this all changed so that the rock could be blasted. The increase in advance rates for an underground heading have thus gone from 5-20 feet per month to up to 300meters (984 ft) per month for a 24/7 mining operation, which is a huge improvement.

ANSWER: Over the years, technology has advanced a lot and has made our lives simpler. We have been seen technological advancements in almost everywhere starting from our workplace to our homes and also at streets.

A classic example of technological advancement can be how people communicate to each other. People previously had only the option of railroads for traveling purposes to distant places. Later, with the introduction of airline industry, people started traveling across countries for many reasons like for business meetings, meeting a relative etc. The entire crowd of business travelers shifted to other technological innovation to save their precious time and money. The technology that replaced the need to travel far across countries was Video Conferencing. A huge number of business travelers opted for this innovation in technology. This advancement also suppressed the cell phone industry which only allowed voice calls at that time.

Also, people used to write mails and used to send telegrams. The telephone came into scenario and gave people an option to communicate faster which previously used to take days to send a message. Then in the 1990's, the email was introduced and gave everyone a platform to send instant and free messages. This gained popularity in 1996-97 with Hotmail services. Later on, it got updated with instant messaging services across the globe like Whatsapp services. Thus, this is how technology varies and are valued accordingly by their usage in that era and the types of technologies grew independently in their respective fields and replaced the outdated ones.

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND GET 100 PONTS ALONG WITH BRAINLIEST

Answer:

To not exceed the 5,000 characters, see each answer with its explanation below.

Explanation:

Question 1.

A feather and a rock dropped at the same time from the same height would land at the same time when dropped by an astronaut on the moon.

The shape and mass of the feather that falls vertically down, through the air, cause the resistance of the air, that opposes the gravitational attraction of the Earth, to be considerably large, compared to the case of the rock.

This not negligible resistance of the air causes a drag on the feather that makes it fall more slowly than the rock.

Only on the moon, the almost absence of atmosphere (air) would cause the feather not to be dragged and, therefore, its acceleration will be the same as that of the rock, and both will fall with the same speed and land at the same time (there is a video in the internet that shows this experiment of the astronaut on the moon).

Question 2.

When the soccer ball is kicked, the action and reaction forces do not cancel each other out because the forces act on two different objects.

The third law of Newton, also known as the law of action and reaction, states that whenever an object experience a force (action force) from a second object, the first object will exert a force of equal size and opposite in direction (reaction force) over the second object.

Hence, the action and reaction forces act over distinct objects. The ball feels the action force (the kick) and the foot feels the reaction force from the ball; the forces do not cancel each other because they act on two different objects.

Question 3

An object is in projectile motion if it is thrown with a horizontal push.

The projectile motion is the combination of two motions: vertical motion and horizonal motion.

The vertical motion is ruled by the acceleration of gravity and will depend on both the inital vertical velocity and the acceleration of gravity.

The horizontal motion is ruled by the horizontal velocity. According with the inertia law (first law of Newton), in the absence of a horizontal force, only if the object departs with a horizontal velocity it will move horizontally.

Hence, an object can only be in projectile motion if it is thrown with a horizontal push.

Question 4

Acceleration of an object

increases as the force on the object increases.

decreases as the mass of the object increases.

is in the same direction as the force on the object.

All answers listed. ← correct answer

According to second law of Newton

$\vec{F}=m\times \vec{a}$

This is force equals mass time acceleration.

The force is a vector and the acceleration is a vector, then since mass is a positive scalar magnitude, both force and acceleration have the same direction.

Also, it is clear from the definition of force that it is proportional to both, the mass and the acceleration, then if either mass or acceleration increases (while the other remains equal) the force will increase, and if either mass or acceleration decreases (while the other remains constant) the force will decrease.

Hence, all the options are correct.

Question 5

The bowling ball will have more momentum because it has more mass.

Momentum, P, is the product of the mass (m) and the velocity (v).

$\vec{P}=m\times \vec{v}$

It is clear that the mass of the bowling ball is greater than the mass of the golf ball.

Hence, since they are moving at the same velocity, the product of the mass of the bowling ball times the velocity is greater than the product of the golf mass times the same velocity.

Question 6

An orbit is formed when an object is falling around another object, rather than into it.

An example of an object falling around another object is a rock falling in the Earth. The gravitaional pull of the Earth causes that the rock accelerates and falls vertically downward.

An example of an object falling around another object is a satellite around the Earth.

The Earth is continually pulling the satellite with vertical force and the inertia (initial velocity) of the satellite is causing it to move horizontally.

The combination of the gravitational force and the inertia cause the satellite to follow a projectile motion. When the satellite is to the correct distance it will not reach into the Earth but will continually move around the Earth following a circular path named orbit.

Question 7

When the force of gravity is matched by the force of air resistance, an object can reach terminal velocity (two word answer).

When the force of gravity matches the force of air resistance, the net force on the falling object is zero.

Hence, as per the second Law of Newton, force equals the product of the mass and the acceleration, the acceleration is also zero.

Zero acceleration means constant velocity.

That constant velocity is a limit or maximum for the velocity that an object can reach when falling and is called terminal velocity.

How do you find the force of a ping-pong ball rolling down a track?

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Weight

a) weight's vertical component = Normal upward force

b) weight's horizontal component = Friction force = (mass of ball)(acceleration)

These forces depend upon the track,

1) inclined or horizontal

2) steepness.

Explanation

The force of gravity points straight down, but a ball rolling down a ramp doesn't go straight down, it follows the ramp. Therefore, only the component of the weight which points along the direction of the ball's motion can accelerate the ball.

weight's horizontal component = Friction force = (mass of ball)(acceleration)

The other component pushes the ball into the ramp, and the ramp pushes back.

If the ramp is horizontal, then the ball does not accelerate, as gravity pushes the ball into the ramp and not along the surface of the ramp. Hope this helps. Can u give me brainliest
