Answer:


When <em>a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather, the result</em>  expected is that <em>the hammer hits the ground before the feather on Earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon (option D).</em>


Explanation:


In the abscence of atmosphere (vacuum), the objects fall in free fall. This is, the only force acting on the objects is the gravitational pull, which is directed vertlcally downward.


Under such absecence of air, the equations that rules the motion are:


  • V = Vo + gt
  • d = Vo + gt² / 2
  • Vf² = Vo² + 2gd

As you see, all those equations are independent of the mass and shape of the object. This explains why <em>when an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather at the same time</em>, <em>the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon</em>, a space body where the gravitational attraction is so small (approximately 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration on Earth) that does not retain atmosphere.


On the other hand, the air (atmosphere) present in Earth  will exert a considerable drag force on the feather (given its shape and small mass), slowing it down, whereas, the effect of the air on the hammer is almost neglectable. In general and as an approximation, the motion of the heavy bodies that fall near the surface is ruled by the free fall equations shown above, so, <em>the result </em>that is<em> expected  when a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time is that the hammer hits the ground before the feather</em>.

Answer

Correct Answer is D(D. The hammer hits the ground before the feather on Earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon.)

Explanation:

We know that, if an object drop from certain height with initial velocity u and it hits the ground with velocity v then time taken by the body to touch the ground will b given by following equation

t=\frac{(v-u)}{g}.........(1)

Here, g is gravitational acceleration

From equation(1), it is clear that time taken by the falling body to touch the ground does not depend on its mass but it only depends on initial velocity, final velocity and gravitational acceleration.

When a feather and hammer are dropped at the same time on earth  then hammer will touch the ground first because the feather is very light that, air pressure will act on it uniformly and it will counteract the acceleration due to gravity.

On moon there is no air so no pressure will be there on feather so both feather and hammer will hit at the same time on the moon.

Greenhouse gases released from the burning of fossil fuels are responsible for global warming.

<h3>What is the atmosphere?</h3>

The atmosphere is the region of region of the planet above its surface area where gases envelop the planet.

Based on the effect of greenhouse gases on global warming;

  • Planet A has a higher surface temperature due to the higher amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
  • Methane is the main constituent of natural gas. Humans increase the contribute to increase in methane gas by raising cattle,
  • Pollutants come from both natural sources and human activities.
  • Sulfur Dioxide is produced by the combustion of fuels in automobiles. Once in the atmosphere, it combine with water to form acid precipitation.
  • Nitrogen and oxygen do not contribute to the greenhouse effect because they are  made up of 2 atom molecules that are bound tightly so they CANNOT vibrate to absorb energy.
  • Greenhouse gases contribute to global warming by absorbing infrared energy that reflects off Earth's surface and reemitting the energy in all directions. This keeps the infrared energy close to the Earth's surface.
  • Most of the greenhouse gases produced come from burning fossil fuels in factories, ships, cars, trains.

Therefore, pollutants such as greenhouse gases are responsible for global warming.

A calorimeter measures the Choose... involved in reactions or other processes by measuring the Choose... of the materials Choose
yuradex [85]

Answer:

heat; temperature; surrounding; insulated.

Explanation:

A calorimeter can be defined as a scientific instrument (device) that is designed and developed for measurement of the heat involved in chemical reactions or other processes, especially by taking the measurement of the temperature of the materials surrounding the process.

Basically, a calorimeter is insulated using materials with a very high level of resistivity, so as to prevent heat transfer to the outside of the device (calorimeter).

Some of the components that make up a simple calorimeter are; thermometer, an interior styrofoam cup, an exterior styrofoam cup, cover, etc.

Additionally, a calorie refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a gram of water by one degree Celsius (°C)
