David Scott's experiment shows that all objects, regardless of their weight, fall equally in the absence of: a. The gravity

Physics
1 answer:
Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

b. the air

Explanation:

David Scott's experiment was performed on the moon, where there is gravity but there is no air. This experiment consisted of letting a hammer and a feather fall at the same time. The result was that the two objects touch the ground simultaneously.

Since these two objects obviously have a different mass, the experiment shows that <u>in a vacuum, objects fall with the same acceleration regardless of their mass.</u>

The engine that moves the cables for the San Francisco cable cars delivers 390.3 kW of power for each line. How long does it tak
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

It would take 16.7 s for the work to be done by the engine.

Explanation:

From the question, given: Power = 390.3 kW

                                           Work to be done = 6.5 x 10^{6} J

But, power and work done with respect to time, has a relationship of:

Power = \frac{work done}{time}

So that,

time = \frac{work done}{Power}

Thus,

time  = \frac{6.5*10^{6} }{390.3*10^{3} }

       = 16.6539

time = 16.7 s

Time required is 16.7 seconds.

Thus, it would take 16.7 s for the work to be done by the engine.

There is a distinction between average speed and the magnitude of average velocity. Give an example that illustrates the differe
Usimov [2.4K]

An example that illustrates the difference is the circular motion

Explanation:

Let's start by reminding the definition of the two quantities:

- Speed is a scalar quantity that tells "how fast" an object is moving, regardless of its direction of motion.

Speed can be  calculate as:

speed = \frac{d}{t}

where:

d is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

- Velocity is instead a vector quantity, given by:

velocity = \frac{d}{t}

where;

d is the displacement of the object (displacement is a a vector connecting the initial position to the final position of motion)

t is the time taken

Since it is a vector, velocity has both a magnitude and a direction, therefore it also takes into account the direction of motion of the object.

For an object in motion in a straight line, speed and velocity are the same. However, this is not always the case.

In fact, an example of motion in which the two quantities are different is the circular motion. Consider for example the object making one complete revolution along the circle. Therefore, its average speed is the ratio between the length of the perimeter (the distance) divided by the time taken:

speed = \frac{2\pi r}{t}

where r is the radius of the circle.

However, the displacement of the object is zero (because the object returns to the starting point), and so the average velocity is also zero:

velocity = \frac{0}{t}=0

what would happen to the simple circuit if an additional wire were added to the circuit to connect the terminals of the bulb to
lilavasa [31]

As current increases, the wires heat which can cause a fuse to blow or a circuit breaker to trip. As additional branches are added to a parallel circuit, the overall resistance of the circuit decreases. A decrease in resistance creates an increase in current.

<h3>What is a Simple circuit ?</h3>

A battery (or other energy source), a light bulb (or other energy-consuming device), and conducting wires that connect the two terminals of the battery to the two ends of the light bulb make up a simple electric circuit.

  • Three elements make up an electric circuit: a power source, such as a battery or the mains. a lightbulb-like energy receiver an energy conduit, such as a wire

A 9800-N automobile is pushed along a level road by four students who apply a total forward force of 600 N. Neglecting friction,
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

c).  a = 0.60 m/s^2

Explanation:

As we know that weight of the automobile is given here

so weight = mass times gravity

W = mg

9800 = m(9.8)

m = 1000 kg

now from Newton's law

F = ma

600 = 1000 a

a = \frac{600}{1000}

a = 0.60 m/s^2
