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.

An AC voltage source and a resistor are connected in series to make up a simple AC circuit. If the source voltage is given by ΔV
ra1l [238]

Answer:

t = 5.48 × 10⁻³ s

Explanation:

Given:

ΔV = ΔVmax × sin(2πft)

frequency, f = 16.9Hz

thus,

ΔV = ΔVmax × sin(2π×16.9×ft)

Now,

Let 'R' be the resistance

Also according to the ohms law

i = V/R

where,

i = current

V = voltage

hence,

i=\frac{\Delta V_{max}sin(2\pi \times 16.9\times t)}{R}

also, given at time 't' the current in the circuit is 55.0% of the peak current

thus

i=\frac{55}{100}\times \frac{\Delta V_{max}}{R}=0.55\times \frac{\Delta V_{max}}{R}

thus,

0.55\times \frac{\Delta V_{max}}{R}=\frac{\Delta V_{max}sin(2\pi \times 16.9\times t)}{R}

or

0.55=sin(2\pi \times 16.9\times t)}

or

0.5823=(2\pi \times 16.9\times t)}

or

t = 5.48 × 10⁻³ s (Answer)

Estimate the force required to bind the two protons in the He nucleus together. (Hint: Model the protons as point charges. Assum
scoray [572]

Answer:

 F = 2.30 10⁴ N

Explanation:

The force required to link two gates must be equal to or greater than the electrostatic force of repulsion, because the protons have equal charges.

                 F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

Where k is the Coulomb constant that is worth 8.99 10⁹ N m² / C²

   In this case the proton charge is 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ C and the distance between them is approximately the diameter of the core r = 10⁻¹⁵ m

Let's calculate

              F = 8.99 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² / (10⁻¹⁵)²

              F = 2.30 10⁴ N

The bond strength must be equal to or greater than this value

The wavelength of an electromagnetic waves is __________ also known as the period. the number of waves that pass a given point i
Andreas93 [3]

The sentence can be completed as follows:

The wavelength of an electromagnetic waves is the spatial distance between two successive troughs.


Note that the wavelength of a wave can also measured as the spatial distance between two successive crests of the wave. Also note that the second part of the sentence ("also known as the period") is not true, because period is another thing (in fact, the period is the time interval between two successive troughs).
