When an object is dropped, tossed, or kicked, as long as it is not laying on the ground, it accelerates downward, because of the force of gravity acting on it.

Who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom? Dalton Thomson Rutherford Democritus
Aloiza [94]

Democritus was the one who did not have experimental evidence to support his theory of the atom.

Answer: Option 4

<u>Explanation: </u>

The discovery of atoms were first stated by Democritus but due to the absence of any experimental proof, his statement was not noted as significant at that time.

After this, Dalton made the specific assumptions formulating some postulates for the atomic theory with proof. Then the cathode rays tube experiments performed by Thomson lead to the formation of plum pudding models of atom.

This is followed by Rutherford’s gold foil experiment discovering the presence of nucleus inside the atoms. So, Democritus first stated but due to absence of experimental evidences, his theory of atoms were not supported at that time.

A lamp hangs from the ceiling at a height of 2.6 m. The lamp has a mass of 3.8 kg. The screws holding the lamp break, and it fal
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy  = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy  = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh

v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s

Since mass = 3.8kg

K.E =  1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s

How does inertia relate to coin dropping????
vekshin1

Well Inertia means something wants to stay in place, and in reality that coin wants to stay in one place, If you placed it on an index card on a cup, and SLOWLY pulled it, it wouldn't be fast enough to overcome that force, if you pulled it quickly that coin would stay in place and drop into the cup.

Allushta [10]

No.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a random error has been minimized or even eliminated.

<h3>What is a random error?</h3>

Random error is defined as the deviation of the total error from its mean value due to chance.

Random errors can result from the instrument not being precise or from mistakes by the researcher.

Random errors can be minimized by taking multiple readings and averaging the results.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a ransom error has been minimized.
