A 1-lb block and a 100-lb block are placed side by side at the top of a frictionless hill. Each is given a very light tap to beg

in their race to the bottom of the hill. In the absence of air resistance, what can you conclude about the outcome of the race?a) The 1-lb block wins the race.
b) The 100-lb block wins the race.
c) The two blocks end in a tie.
d) There’s not enough information to determine which block wins the race

Answer:

(c). The two blocks end in a tie

Explanation:

the reason being the absence of any resistance offered to both of the blocks.

if the slope of the hill is for instance 60 deg.

then the acceleration in absence of any resistance is a= 9.81sin(60)

since the acceleration is same then both of the blocks will reach at the same instant

Because atoms of elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of neutrons, they have similar properties
AURORKA [14]
False. What actually determines the properties of elements are the electrons, or aka valence electrons. They are used to bond, which determines its properties.

A block of wood is 4 cm wide, 5 cm long, and 10 cm high. It weighs 100 grams. Calculate its volume. Calculate its density. Will
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

V=200cm^3\\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3

It will float.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, given the width, length and height, we can compute the volume as follows:

V=W*L*H\\\\V=4cm*5cm*10cm\\\\V=200cm^3

Moreover, since the density is computed via the division of the mass by the volume:

\rho =\frac{m}{V}

We obtain:

\rho =\frac{100g}{200cm^3} \\\\\rho =0.500g/cm^3

In such a way, since the solid has a lower density than the water, we infer it will float.

Best regards.

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)
Inessa05 [86]
The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.

Helicopter blades withstand tremendous stresses. In addition to supporting the weight of a helicopter, they are spun at rapid ra
BabaBlast [244]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the helicopter, l = 3.1 m

The helicopter rotates, the length of helicopter will become the radius of circular path, r = 3.1 m

Angular speed of the helicopter, \omega=280\ rev/min=29.32\ rad/s

(a) The centripetal acceleration in terms of angular velocity is given by :

a_c=r\times \omega^2

a_c=3.1\times (29.32)^2

a_c=2664.95\ m/s^2

(b) Let v is the linear speed of the tip. The relation between the linear and angular speed is given by :

v=r\times \omega

v=3.1\times 29.32

v = 90.89 m/s

\dfrac{v_{tip}}{v_{sound}}=\dfrac{90.89}{340}=0.267

Hence, this is the required solution.
