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.

Which instrument produces the sound of a single frequency?
notka56 [123]
NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?
Leno4ka [110]
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.

The amount of oxygen in the reactants is 4 atoms. In the products, the oxygen is distributed to water (H2O) and O2 gas. Which co
Reil [10]

Answer:

2 in front of water and 1 in front of oxygen

Explanation:

This question is describing balancing a chemical reaction. A balanced chemical reaction has the same number of atoms of each elements on both the reactant and product side. According to the question, the reactants contains 4 atoms of oxygen. The reactants give rise to water (H20) and O2 in the products side.

This reaction is most likely the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as follows:

H2O2 (l) ----> H2O (l) + O2(g)

Based on the description, H2O2 will be 2H2O2 as it is said to contain four atoms of oxygen. This means that, in order to have a balanced equation, we must place coefficient 2 in front of water and coefficient 1 in front of oxygen. That is;

2H2O2 (l) ----> 2H2O (l) + O2(g)

two engines are turned on for 763 s at a moment when the velocity of the craft has x and y components of v0x = 6380 m/s and v0y
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity component of engines is

v_0_x=6380 m/s

v_0_y=6770 m/s

time period of engine running=763 s

Displacement in x=4.50\times 10^6

y=7.27\times 10^6

Using s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2} in x and y direction

x=v_0_x\times t+\frac{at^2}{2}

4.50\times 10^6=6380\times 763+\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

4.50\times 10^6-4.86\times 10^6=\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

a=-1.23 m/s^2

In y direction

y=v_0_y\times t+\frac{a't^2}{2}

7.27\times 10^6=6770\times 763+\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

7.27\times 10^6-5.16\times 10^6=\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

a=7.24 m/s^2

x component=-1.23 m/s^2

y component=7.24 m/s^2
