Complete question is;

The gravitational force acting on a lead ball is much larger than that acting on a wooden ball of the same size. Which statement is true about when they are dropped?

A) The acceleration due to gravity is the same for both balls.

B) The lead ball’s acceleration due to gravity is larger than the wooden ball’s.

C) The lead ball’s acceleration due to gravity is less than the wooden ball’s.

Answer:

Option A) The acceleration due to gravity is the same for both balls.

Explanation:

Density of Lead is 11.34 g/cm³ while density of hard wood is around 1.3 g/cm³

Thus, it means lead is the heavier object when both have same masses.

We are told that the wood and lead both have same size but from the density given above, it's clear that the mass of the lead ball is more than that of the wooden ball and thus, the force from would be more for the lead ball than the wooden ball.

Now, If we were to measure the position of both balls when falling, we will observe that they do not fall fall with a constant speed. This is because they fall with a constant acceleration and as such the speed increases.

Therefore both balls will hit the ground at the same time because they both start from a position of rest and both will have the same acceleration.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

4.6834625323 m/s

0 m/s

Explanation:

s = Displacement

t = Time

Velocity is given by

v=\dfrac{s}{t}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{5220000}{12.9\times 24\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow v=4.6834625323\ m/s

The bird's average velocity for the return flight is 4.6834625323 m/s

In the whole episode the bird went 5220 km away from its nest and came back. This means the displacement is zero.

Hence, the average velocity for the whole episode is 0 m/s

The smallest unit of charge is − 1.6 × 10 − 19 C, which is the charge in coulombs of a single electron. Robert Millikan was able
vovangra [49]

Answer:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C

Explanation:

<u>Charge of an Electron</u>

Since Robert Millikan determined the charge of a single electron is

q_e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Every possible charged particle must have a charge that is an exact multiple of that elemental charge. For example, if a particle has 5 electrons in excess, thus its charge is 5\times -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C=-8 \cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Let's test the possible charges listed in the question:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }. We have just found it's a possible charge of a particle

-3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }. Since 3.2 is an exact multiple of 1.6, this is also a possible charge of the oil droplets

-1.2 \times 10 ^{-19 } this is not a possible charge for an oil droplet since it's smaller than the charge of the electron, the smallest unit of charge

-5.6 \times 10 ^{-19 },\ -9.4 \times 10 ^{-19 } cannot be a possible charge for an oil droplet because they are not exact multiples of 1.6

Finally, the charge -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C is four times the charge of the electron, so it is a possible value for the charge of an oil droplet

Summarizing, the following are the possible values for the charge of an oil droplet:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C
