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.

Electrical energy is used to turn the blades of a fan. The amount of energy transformed is seen here: 750 j electrical energy is
MAVERICK [17]

Here is the energy that is left after the quantity of energy is transformed: 750 j of electrical energy is changed into 400 j of kinetic or mechanical energy, which is then turned into 0.32 j of efficient energy.

To run the fan, electrical energy is utilized.

Here, under the specified circumstances, 750 J of electrical energy is utilized to operate the fan, which is transformed into 400 J of kinetic energy. As a result, 350 J of energy is wasted due to various frictional and resistive losses.

Therefore, we may conclude that only 400 J of the 750 J available energy is used to power the fan, with the remaining energy being wasted as a result of friction.

Additionally, we can state that this fan's effectiveness will be

n = Useful ÷ Total

n = 400 ÷ 750

n = 8 ÷ 25

n = 0.32

Match each property with the benefit it provides to people on Earth. A. magnetic field filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
vodomira [7]

The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!

he triceps muscle in the back of the upper arm extends the forearm. This muscle in a professional boxer exerts a force of 2.00 1
meriva

Answer:

Moment of inertia = 0.3862kg-m²

Explanation:

2.00x10³

2.80cm

145 rad

r = r⊥ x F

F is an applied force

r⊥ is the distance between the applied force and axis

Force exerted = 2.00x10³

r⊥ = 2.8cm = 0.028m

Alpha = 145rad/s²

r = 0.028m x 2.00x10³

r = 56.0N-m

To get the moment of inertia

56.0N-m² = (145rad/s²) x I

The I would be:

I = (56.0N-m²)/(145rad/s²)

I = 56/145

= 0.3862Kg-m²

This is the moment of inertia.

Thank you!

1. During which phase of the moon may a solar eclipse occur? (Points : 1)
kotykmax [81]
1. New moon
This is because the moon comes between the Earth and sun and this is only possible during its new moon phase.

2. Full moon
This is because the Earth comes between the Moon and the sun and the effect is only visible when there is a full moon.

3. Corona
The corona is the outer layer and is the only one visible when there is an eclipse.
