Alec says the force of gravity is stronger on a piece of paper after it’s crumpled. His classmate, Jordan, disagrees. Alec “prov

es” his point by dropping two pieces of paper, one crumpled and the other not. Sure enough, the crumpled piece falls faster. Has Alec proven his point?

No, Alec has not.
The force due to gravity is the same on all objects, regardless of shape and size. The acceleration caused by this force is 9.81 m/s². So if there are two identical pieces of paper, both will experience an equal force of gravity.
The difference in the papers' flight paths is due to the greater air resistance that the flat paper experiences. If the same experiment were to be repeated in a vacuum chamber, both of the pieces of paper would fall at the same rate

Un trineo de 20 kg descansa en la cima de una pendiente de 80 m de longitud y 30° de inclinación. Si µ = 0.2, ¿cuál es la veloci
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

v= 26.70 m/seg

Explanation:  Ver anexo ( diagrama de cuerpo libre)

De acuerdo a la segunda ley de Newton

∑ F  =  m*a

∑ Fx  =  m* a(x)             ∑ Fy  =  m* a(y)

También sabemos que el coeficiente de roce dinámico es:

  μ  = 0.2 = F(r)/N            siendo N la fuerza normal.

Si descomponemos la fuerza P = mg  =  20Kg* 9.8m/seg²

P =  196 [N]    en sus componentes sobre los ejes x y y tenemos

Py  =  P* cos30  =  196* √3/2  =  98*√3

Px  = P* sen30   =  196*1/2  =  98

La sumatoria sobre el eje y es :

∑ F(y)  =  m*a         Py  - N  = 0          98*√3  = N       ( no hay movimiento en la dirección y)

∑ F(x)  = m*a    P(x)  -  Fr  =  m*a

Fr  =   μ *N  =  0.2* 98*√3

Fr  =  19.6*√3  [N]

98 -  19.6*√3  =  m*a

98  -  33.52  = m*a

a =  (98  -  33.52 ) / 20

a = 3.22 m/seg²

Para calcular la velocidad del trineo al pié del plano, sabemos que al pié del plano el trineo ha recorrido 80 m, y que de cinemática

v²  =  v₀²  +  2*a*d             ( se pueden chequear unidades para ver la consistencia de la ecuación  v  y  v₀    vienen dados en m/seg  entonces  v²  y  v₀²  vienen en m²/seg²,  el producto de a (m/seg²) por la distancia d (m) resulta en m²/seg²  entonces es consistente la relación

v²   =  0   +  2*3.22*80       ( la velocidad inicial es cero)

v²  = 515.2  m²/seg²

v  =  √515.2  m/seg

v= 26.70 m/seg

Which force prevents protons from repelling each other inside a nucleus?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

So, the correct answer is <em><u>the strong nuclear force</u></em>. It actually pulls together nuetrons and protons that are in the nucleus. At very tiny distances only, like those inside the nucleus, so, this strong force succeded in dealing with the electromagnetic force, and it basically stops the electrical repulsion of protons from blowing apart the nucleus.

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2
