The acceleration of gravity is

9.8 m/s^2 down.

When an object falls out of a hand, its speed after 1.8s is

(9.8)x(1.8) = 17.6 m/s down.

It doesn't matter what it is, how much it weighs, or how high it was dropped from.

If it's more than 17.6 m/s, then this happened on a different, bigger planet.

If it's less than 17.6 m/s, then it must have hit something on the way down, like some air or something.

Three samples of gas each exert 740. mm Hg in separate 2 L containers. What pressure do they exert if they are all placed in a s
Usimov [2.4K]
According to Dalton's law of partial pressure, the total pressure exerted is simply equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases. Given that all three samples of gas each exert 740 mmHg, when they are placed in a single 2 L container, they exert a pressure of 2220 mmHg on the container which is the sum of their individual pressures.

Which factors affect the strength of the electric force between two objects
iris [78.8K]

By definition, the electric force is given by:

f = k * \frac{q1q2}{d ^ 2}

Where,

q1: electric charge of object number 1.

q2: electric charge of object number 2.

d: distance between both objects

k: proportionality constant

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric force is affected by:

1) The product of the charges of the objects

2) The distance between objects

Answer:

The factors that affect strength of the electric force between two objects are:

1) The product of the charges of the objects

2) The distance between objects

In physics, the use of force to move an object is called what
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: work

Explanation:

Often in physics, work is defined as the use of force to move an object. Technically, work is actually a change in energy caused by a force external to the system. The formula for work is W = F⊥d or W = FdcosΘ. Using this formula, we can see that work is just when a force is applied for a certain displacement. In simpler terms, that's just a force used to move an object a certain distance.

Which object has a varying speed? a bird flying at 10 m/s for 10 seconds a car slowing from 60 m/s to 0 m/s a car traveling the
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The car slowing from 60 m/s to 0 m/s

Explanation:

The bird flying at 10m/s for 10 seconds will have the same speed for those 10 seconds. So we can say it doesn't have a varying speed (During those 10 seconds, we don't have any information about what happens later).

The fish moving at 2m/s for 5 minutes will have the same speed for those 5 minutes. So we can say it doesn't have a varying speed (During those 5 minutes, we don't have any information about what happens later).

The car traveling the speed limit, we know that his speed is the speed limit. It doesn't change.

The car slowing from 60 m/s to 0 m/s needs to change his speed in order to go from 60 m/s to 0 m/s. The speed will decrease progressively until the car completely stops.
