A bullet is dropped into a river from a very high bridge. At the same time, another bullet is fired from a gun straight down tow

ards the water. If air resistance is negligible, how do the accelerations of the bullets compare just before they strike the water?

Answer:

Explanation:

As a ball dropped into a river, its initial velocity is zero and then it is moving under the acceleration due to gravity. That means the acceleration on the ball is in vertically downwards direction which is equal to the acceleration due to gravity that means - 9.8 m/s^2.

When a bullet is fired from a gun straight downwards direction, the acceleration on the bullet is again acceleration due to gravity and it is acting acting downwards. In this case the initial velocity os not zero but acceleration is - 9.8 m/s^2.

Weathering of rocks can occur in many ways. In the western United States, strong winds can erode huge rock formations by blowing
stepan [7]

Answer: physical or mechanical weathering

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering which is also referred to as the physical weathering occurs when a rock is broken down into smaller pieces. In this case, there will be a physical change of the rock but its composition will not change.

Some examples include ice freezing and expansion of the cracks in the rock, Smstrong winds that carrycpieces of sand which then sandblast surfaces, moving water which causes abrasion etc.

Which has greater kinetic energy, a car traveling at 30 km/HR or a car of half the mass traveling at 60 km/HR? a. The 60 km/HR c
artcher [175]

Answer:

a.The 60 km/HR car

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This can be defined as the energy of a body due to motion. The S.I unit of kinetic energy is Joules (J).

It can be expressed mathematically as

Ek = 1/2mv²......................... Equation 1

Where Ek = kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity.

(i) A car travelling at 30 km/hr, with a mass of m,

Ek = 1/2(m)(30)²

Ek = 450m J.

(ii) A car travelling at 60 km/hr, with a mass of m/2

Ek = 1/2(m/2)(60)²

Ek = 900m J.

Thus , the car travelling at 60 km/hr at half mass has a greater kinetic energy to the car traveling at 30 km/hr at full mass.

The right option is a.The 60 km/HR car

Why is it when a ballerina stands on her toes she exerts more pressure than an elephant on all fours
Murrr4er [49]

I'm not sure that's true ... we'd need to see some numbers.
But if it is true, it's the same reason why some places don't
want ladies to walk on their floors with high heels.

Pressure is        (weight) divided by (area).

Pressure exerted
by a ballerina      =    (ballerina's weight)/(area of her toe on the floor)

Pressure exerted
by an elephant    =    (elephant's weight)/(area of 4 elephant feet)

Pressure exerted by
a lady in high heels  = (lady's weight) / (area of 1 or 2 heels)

You can see that the greatest weight might not exert the greatest
pressure, and the smallest weight might not exert the smallest
pressure.  The area is important, and it takes an awful lot of toes
or high heels to equal the area of one or more elephant's feet.
