Gases are easily compressed, the particles have large spaces between them, so it is easy to push them closer together. Gases have very low densities, there are huge amounts of space between particles. Due to the large spaces between particles in a gas you can force the particles closer together using a plunger.
Answers:
a) 9.035 s
b) -88.543 m/s
Explanation:
The described situation is related to vertical motion (especifically free fall) and the equations that will be useful are:
(1)
(2)
Where:
is the final height of the steel ball
is the initial height of the steel ball
is the initial velocity of the steel ball (it was dropped)
is the final velocity of the steel ball
is the time it takes to the steel ball to reach the ground
is the acceleration due to gravity
<u>Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:</u>
<h2>a) Time it takes the steel ball to reach the ground</h2>
We will use equation (1) with the conditions listed above:
(3)
Isolating
:
(4)
(5)
(6)
<h2>b) Final velocity of the steel ball</h2>
We will use equation (2) with the conditions explained above and the calculaated time:
(7)
(8)
(9) The negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity is downwards
Answer: The correct answer is option b.
Explanation: We are given that the rocket is at rest initially final velocity is 445m/s.
The acceleration of the rocket is 
To calculate the distance of rocket, we use third equation of motion, which is:

where, v = final velocity = 445m/s
u = initial velocity = 0m/s
a = acceleration = 
s = distance = ? m
Putting values in above equation, we get:

The answer would be false
