You have two balls of equal size and smoothness, and you can ignore air resistance. One is heavy, the other is much lighter. You

hold one in each hand at the same height above the ground. You release them at the same time. What will happen?

Answer:

They will hit the ground at the same time.

Explanation:

By ignoring the opposing forces i.e. air resistant, both the heavy and light balls will fall with same acceleration due to gravity (g=9.8 m/s²) and g is independent of mass of the objects. Thus both will hit the ground at the same time.

A spy satellite uses a telescope with a 1.7-m-diameter mirror. It orbits the earth at a height of 180 km.
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m

height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m

wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m

Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;

sin∅= 1.22 λ / d

sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7

 sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷

we know that;

 sin∅  = object separation / distance from telescope

object separation =   sin∅ × distance from telescope

object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷  × 180 × 10³

object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m

then we convert to centimeter

object separation = 6.45 cm

Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm

Two models of the same compound are shown. In what way is Model A better than Model B?
astra-53 [7]

The correct answer is Model A shows the three-dimensional shape of the molecule, but Model B does not.

Explanation:

Model A and B show the structure of a molecule. In the case of model A, the structure is represented through the use of three-dimensional shapes, while in model B the structure is represented using the letters of each element and showing how each element is connected to others.

In this context, one feature that makes model A better is that this represents the molecule using a 3D model, which is better to understand how the molecule looks like and what is its structure. Moreover, both models are alike because they show the number of atoms of each element, although model A does not show the types of elements.

Technician A says that the intake and exhaust manifolds have to be removed before removing the engine from the vehicle. Technici
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: Technician A is correct

Explanation:

The intake manifold is the compactment that all fuel and air supply to the cylinders. It's connected to the engine so it has to be disconnected while the exhaust manifold receives all the exhaust gases from the cylinders and releases the gas through a single or double exhaust gases outlet.

Two loudspeakers emit identical sound waves along the x-axis. The sound at a point on the axis has maximum intensity when the sp
EleoNora [17]

The concept required to solve this problem is related to the wavelength.

The wavelength can be defined as the distance between two positive crests of a wave.

The waves are in phase, then the first distance is

\Delta x_1 = 20cm

And out of the phase when

\Delta x_2 = 30cm

Thus the wavelength is

\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 = \frac{\lambda}{2}

Here,

\lambda =  Wavelength

If we rearrange the equation to find it, we will have

\lambda = 2 (\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 )

\lambda= 2(30-20)

\lambda = 20cm

Therefore the wavelength of the sound is 20cm.

Miranda performed an experiment to determine what makes an object sink
NemiM [27]

Answer:

I guess the answer is

-The mass and volume of an object determine if it will sink or float

Explanation:

An object that has a higher density than the liquid it's in will sink. An object that has a lower density than the liquid it's in will float.

density=mass/volume
