Answer:

c) The distance between the balls increases.

Explanation:

If you drop the balls at the same time, regardless of their masses they accelerate equally, since they will be in free fall.

However, if you drop one of the balls earlier, then that ball will gain velocity, whereas the second ball has zero initial velocity. At the time the second ball is dropped, both balls have the same acceleration but different initial velocities.

According to the below kinematics equation:

x = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

The initial velocity of the first ball will make the difference, and the first ball will travel a greater distance than the second ball. Hence, their distance increases.

Infer why the output force exerted by a rake must be less than input force?
adell [148]
<h3><u>Answer and Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • input force refers to the force exerted on a machine, also known as the effort, while the output force is the force machines produce or the Load. The ratio of output force to input force gives the mechanical advantage of a simple machine
  • <em><u>The output force exerted by the rake must be less than the input force because one has to use force while raking. The force used to move the rake is the input force. </u></em>
  • <em><u>The rake is not going to be able to convert all of the input force into output force, the force the rake applies to move the leaves, because of friction.</u></em>

Halflife is the time taken by a radioactive substance by half its original mass. In this case the half life of the substance is 3 hours. 
Therefore; New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n where n is the number of half lives. In this case, the half life is 3 hours and therefore; the number of half lives in 6 hours will be two.
 = if the original mass is 100%
new mass = 100 × (1/2)^2
                 = 100 × 1/4 = 25%
The remaining mass will be 1/4 of the original mass, meaning  a fraction of 3/4 of the  initial mass will have decayed.
Thus; the answer is 3/4
