A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g

round is 120.00 meters. Find the time the bottle would take to land if it were to fall the same distance on the moon instead of Earth.

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is

                         D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

            Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.

                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t² 

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t²

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)


Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens
to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes: 

-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .

-- They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside
the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value
of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds
to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the
surface of the Moon.

Myopia is a condition of the eye where the crystalline lens focuses the light rays to a position between the lens and the retina
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: concave lens

Explanation:

Myopia is a condition of the eye where someone can only see near distant object clearly but not far distant object.

Myopia is corrected using concave lens (diverging) in order to diverge the rays entering the eye thereby allowing the rays to be focused properly on the retina.

Which combination of temperature and pressure correctly describes standard temperature and pressure
raketka [301]

Answer: A combination 0 degrees Celsius and 101.3 kPa or 1 atm correctly describes standard temperature and pressure.

Explanation:

The term standard temperature and pressure is also known as STP and it is most commonly used when we want to calculate the density of a gas.

The term standard temperature means 32^{o} Fahrenheit or 0^{o}C or 273 Kelvin. On the other hand, term standard pressure means 1 atmosheric pressure of a gas.

Thus, we can conclude that a combination 0 degrees Celsius and 101.3 kPa or 1 atm correctly describes standard temperature and pressure.

Why doesn't electric current flow through rubber?
PolarNik [594]
Rubber is a insulator so current cannot pass through it where as metal is a conductor which allows current to pass through it
