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.

A helicopter, initially hovering 40 feet above the ground, begins to gain altitude at a rate of 21 feet per second. Which of the
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: y = 40 + 21t

Explanation:

Apply the equation of distance covered.

d = vt + C

Where d is the distance covered

v = velocity , t = time

C = constant = initial distance covered

For the case above....

d = y

y(t) = vt + C

But y(0) =40 = C

C = 40ft

velocity v = 21 ft/s

Therefore, the equation of the altitude is given by;

y(t) = 21t +40

y = 40 + 21t

What is the difference in the pitch when you are in front of the car compared to behind the car?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:The Doppler effect is a change in the frequency of sound waves that occurs when the source of the sound waves is moving relative to a stationary listener.

As the source of sound waves approaches a listener, the sound waves get closer together, increasing their frequency and the pitch of the sound. The opposite happens when the source of sound waves moves away from the listener.

An amount of work W is done on an object of mass m initially at rest, and as result it winds up moving at speed v. Suppose inste
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

W amount of work is done on the system such that it acquires v velocity after operation(initial velocity)

According to work energy theorem work done by all the forces is equal to change in kinetic energy of object

W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2---1

where m=mass of object

v=velocity of object

When the object is already have velocity v then the final speed is given by work energy theorem

W=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv^2-----2

From 1 and 2 we get

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv^2

2\times \frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

v_f^2=2v^2

v_f=\sqrt{2}v
