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

Astronomers classify stars according to their (1 point) distance from Earth. color, size, and absolute brightness. age and paral
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

Astronomers use all of those measures to classify stars. If you want to look more into classifying stars, check out the Hertzsprung-Russel Diagram. It covers how to identify red giants, main sequence, dwarf stars, ect. Distance from earth is typically measured in light years. The color of stars generally determines how hot they are. (Blue stars are the hottest) Also, the parallax method is used to measure stars that are closer to earth. This method relies heavily on geometry though.

Hope this helped!

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: Mars has lower gravity and lower magma buoyancy

Explanation: The gravity in mars is low. Low gravity affect the occurrence of volcanic eruptions. The buoyancy of the magma in Mars is lower and the depth of the magma chamber deeper (Buoyancy is the difference in density between the surrounding crust and the magma ascending for eruption). Olympus Mons which is larger and wider than mount Everest was formed as a result of overcoming of the low gravity and buoyancy by the magma to release enormous volume of magma to the surface.

Another reason why the volcanoes on Mars are so large is because the crust on Mars is static unlike Earth.

A lamp with a resistance of 60 Ohms is plugged into a 110-Volt household circuit. How much current flows through the lamp?
Mrac [35]

The current flowing through the lamp is  1.833A

<h3>What is current?</h3>

The current is the stream of charges which flow inside the conductors when connected across the end of voltage.

From the Ohm's law, V =IR

Here, R is the proportionality constant called resistance of the resistor

A lamp with a resistance of 60 Ohms is plugged into a 110-Volt household circuit.

I = V/R

Put the values, we get

I = 110/60

I = 1.833A

Thus, the current flowing through the lamp is  1.833A
