If you drop an object from rest, the distance it falls is given by (1/2)at2, where a is the acceleration of the object and t is

the amount of time fallen. Suppose you drop an object and measure the distance it falls. Suppose you drop it again, but it falls for three times the amount of time as before. How far did it fall on the second drop?
Select one:
a. It will fall twice the distance compared to the first time dropped.
b. It will fall three times the distance compared to the first time dropped.
c. It will fall nine times the distance compared to the first time dropped.
d. It depends on the planet you are on when you drop it.

If,

d \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

then, with 3x time t, (suppose, new distance is h)

h \:  =  \:   \frac{1}{2} a {(3t)}^{2}

=  \frac{1}{2} a9 {t}^{2}

= 9 \:  \frac{1}{2} a{t}^{2}

= 9d

Therefore, new distance h will be 9 times bigger than distance d.

answer: c

A solid uniformly charged insulating sphere has uniform volume charge density p and radius R. Apply Gauss's law to determine an
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

electric field E = (1 /3 e₀) ρ r

Explanation:

For the application of the law of Gauss we must build a surface with a simple symmetry, in this case we build a spherical surface within the charged sphere and analyze the amount of charge by this surface.

The charge within our surface is

 

     ρ = Q / V

     Q ’= ρ V '

The volume of the sphere is V = 4/3 π r³

     Q ’= ρ 4/3 π r³

The symmetry of the sphere gives us which field is perpendicular to the surface, so the integral is reduced to the value of the electric field by the area

      I E da = Q ’/ ε₀

      E A = E 4 πi r² = Q ’/ ε₀

      E = (1/4 π ε₀) Q ’/ r²

Now you relate the fraction of load Q ’with the total load, for this we use that the density is constant

     

      R = Q ’/ V’ = Q / V

How you want the solution depending on the density (ρ) and the inner radius  (r)

      Q ’= R V’

      Q ’= ρ 4/3 π r³

      E = (1 /4π ε₀) (1 /r²) ρ 4/3 π r³

     E = (1 /3 e₀) ρ r

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then
Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

If mechanical energy is conserved, then a pendulum that has a potential energy of 20 J at its highest point and 0.5 J at its low
liraira [26]
At the highest point: kinetic energy is 0 due to the speed  is 0

So the total mechanical energy is 20

Assume no frictions present, then the mechanical energy is conserved

So at the lowest point, kinetic energy = mechanical energy - potential energy

Answer will be 20 - 0.5 = 19.5 J

Alina [70]

The distance between city a and city b is 833.345 miles.

We know that

1°=60'

The distance of city a from the initial ray is  calculated as

x_a=3960*tan45.46°=4024.101 miles

The distance of city b from the initial ray is calculated as

x_b=3960*tan 38.86°=3190.75 miles

Now the distance between city a and b is equal to

4024.101-3190.75=833.345 miles

This is the vertical distance between the cities.
