Both bricks will hit the ground at the same time.

Falling vertically is always accelerating at 9.8 m/s² because of gravity.
Nothing that's happening horizontally has any effect on that.
The brick that happens to have some horizontal motion will 
probably hit the ground way over there, but that will still be
at the same TIME as this one.

This is a perfect place to remind you of the old unbelievable story,
which I'll bet you heard before:

If you fire a bullet horizontally from a gun, and at the exact same
moment you DROP another bullet out of your hand next to the gun,
the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time !  Even though
they'll be far apart.

Horizontal speed has no effect on vertical behavior.

what is the difference between kinetic energy and random motion of a cylider of oxygen carried by a car and one standing on a pl
pochemuha

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

If we are talking about the kinetic energy of the cylinder of oxygen:

The kinetic energy possessed by any object is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

In this case, we have one cylinder carried by a car and one standing on a platform: this means that the speed of the cylinder carried by the car will be different from zero (and so also its kinetic energy will be different from zer), while the speed of the cylinder standing on the platform will be zero (and so its kinetic energy also zero). Therefore, the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car will be larger than that standing on a platform.

Instead, if we are talking about the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the molecules of oxygen inside the cylinder:

The kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas:

K=\frac{3}{2}kT

where k is called Boltzmann constant and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. Therefore, we see that K does not depend on whether the gas is in motion or not, but only on its temperature - therefore, in this case there is no difference between the kinetic energy of the cylinder carried by the car and that standing on the platform (assuming they are at the same temperature)

1. I drop a penny from the top of the tower at the front of Fort Collins High School and it takes 1.85 seconds to hit the ground
ladessa [460]

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is  9.8 m/s² .
The speed of a falling object keeps increasing smoothly,
in such a way that the speed is always 9.8 m/s faster than
it was one second earlier.

If you 'drop' the penny, then it starts out with zero speed. 
If you also start the clock at the same instant, then

         After  1.10 sec,  Speed = (1.10 x 9.8) = 10.78 meters/sec


         After  1.85 sec,  Speed = (1.85 x 9.8) = 18.13 meters/sec

But you want this second one given in a different unit of speed.
OK then:

     =  (18.13 meter/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (1 mile/1609.344 meter)

     =    (18.13 x 3,600 / 1609.344)  (mile/hr)  =  40.56 mph  (rounded)

We did notice that in an apparent effort to make the question
sound more erudite and sophisticated, you decided to phrase
it in terms of 'velocity'.  We can answer it in those terms, if we
ASSUME that there is no wind, and the penny therefore doesn't
acquire any horizontal component of motion on its way down.

With that assumption in force, we are able to state unequivocally
and without fear of contradiction that each 'speed' described above ...
with the word 'downward' appended to it ... does become a 'velocity'.

Consider an object with weight on the Earth W_earth. The gravity of the Earth is g. If it is moved to another planet with gravit
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

W_{Planet} = \frac{W_{Earth}}{g}\times a

Explanation:

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

W_{Earth} = m\times g

Thus,

m = \frac{W_{Earth}}{g}

where,

m = mass of an object, which is constant and is independent of gravity

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth

On the new planet, gravity = a

Thus the weight of the object on the new planet will be

W_{Planet} = m\times a

W_{Planet} = \frac{W_{Earth}}{g}\times a

At TTT = 14 ∘C∘C, how long must an open organ pipe be to have a fundamental frequency of 262 HzHz ? The speed of sound in air is
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Length of pipe organ(L) = 0647 m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature (T) = 14°C

Fundamental frequency (F) = 262 Hz

Speed of sound (v) = 331 + 0.60(T) m/s

Find:

Length of pipe organ(L)

Computation:

Speed of sound (v) = 331 + 0.60(14) m/s

Speed of sound (v) = 339.4

Length of pipe organ(L) = Speed of sound (v) / 2(Fundamental frequency)

Length of pipe organ(L) = 339.4 / 2 (262)

Length of pipe organ(L) = 0647 m (Approx)
