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 cylinder of diameter 100 mm rolls from restdown a 5 m long ramp and its center of mass is moving with velocity 2 m/s at the bo
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

(a): a = 0.4m/s²

(b): α = 8 radians/s²

Explanation:

First we propose an equation to determine the linear acceleration and an equation to determine the space traveled in the ramp (5m):

a= (Vf-Vi)/t = (2m/s)/t

a: linear acceleration.

Vf: speed at the end of the ramp.

Vi: speed at the beginning of the ramp (zero).

d= (1/2)×a×t² = 5m

d: distance of the ramp (5m).

We replace the first equation in the second to determine the travel time on the ramp:

d = 5m = (1/2)×( (2m/s)/t)×t² = (1m/s)×t ⇒ t = 5s

And the linear acceleration will be:

a = (2m/s)/5s = 0.4m/s²

Now we determine the perimeter of the cylinder to know the linear distance traveled on the ramp in a revolution:

perimeter = π×diameter = π×0.1m = 0.3142m

To determine the angular acceleration we divide the linear acceleration by the radius of the cylinder:

α = (0.4m/s²)/(0.05m) = 8 radians/s²

α: angular aceleration.

Glare appears on a computer screen when light from the surroundings reflects off of the screen’s surface. Some computer screens
hoa [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

D:The surface of the coating allows light from the room to pass through but blocks the light from the screen.

Explanation:

Glare is produced on a computer screen when light from some external source reflects on the screen.

Anti-glare coating do not absorb light to reduce glare but they actually reduce glare by encouraging the light from the room to pass through the screen so that less light is reflected. Polarized lenses absorbs light to reduce glare, not anti-glare coating.

1. Calculate the charge in a circuit which carries a current of 30 amperes for 5 seconds
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

1. 150C.

2. 50sec

3.1.5a

Explanation:

1. I = Q/T

Q= 30x5

=150c

2.applying the formulae, I = Q/T

T= Q/I

=500/10

=50sec.

3. using the formulae i=q/t

i= 120/80

=1.5a.

Technician A says that side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion. Technician B says that side post te
zlopas [31]

Answer: C

Explanation: Side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion.

Over tightening the terminal bolt can damage side post terminals.

The battery terminals and cable ends can corrode especially when the battery or car is not used for a long period of time. Corrosion limits a battery's lifespan and so should be prevented. To inspect the areas where corrosion occur on a side-post battery, you need to remove the terminals.

Also, it is true that over tightening the terminal bolt can damage the side post terminals. The covering on the battery can become twisted, and make the seals on the terminals leak.

How would you use Tectonic plate and hot spot in the same sentence
Sonbull [250]
It's kinda long but...
A tectonic setting where volcanic action occurs is called <span>a </span>hot-spot (intraplate<span>), which describes volcanic activity that occurs </span>within tectonic plates<span> and is generally NOT related to plate boundaries and plate movements.
</span>Hope this helps!!:)
