If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

Answer:

The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.

A uniform cylindrical grindstone has a mass of 10 kg and a radius of 12 cm. (a) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the gri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) KE = 888.26J

b) N = 294.5 turns

Explanation:

For the kinetic energy:

KE = I/2*\omega_o^2

The inertia is:

I=m/2*R^2=0.072kg.m^2

So, the kinetic energy will be:

KE = 888.26J

Now, friction force is:

Ff = μ*N = 0.80*5N = 4N

The energy balance would be:

Kf - Ko = Wf    where Kf=0;   Ko = 888.26J;  and Wf is the work done by friction force.

Wf = -Ff*d = -Ff*N*2*π*R   where N is the amount of turns it gives.

Replacing these values into the energy balance:

0-888.26=-4*N*2*π*0.12

-888.26=-0.96*π*N

N=294.5 turns

By calculating its wavelength (in nm), show that the second line in the Lyman series is UV radiation.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

 λ = 102.78  nm

This radiation is in the UV range,

Explanation:

Bohr's atomic model for the hydrogen atom states that the energy is

           E = - 13.606 / n²

where 13.606 eV   is the ground state energy and n is an integer

an atom transition is the jump of an electron from an initial state to a final state of lesser emergy

            ΔE = 13.606 (1 / n_{f}^{2} - 1 / n_{i}^{2})

the so-called Lyman series occurs when the final state nf = 1, so the second line occurs when ni = 3, let's calculate the energy of the emitted photon

            DE = 13.606 (1/1 - 1/3²)

            DE = 12.094 eV

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            DE = 12.094 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 ev) = 10.35 10⁻¹⁹ J

let's find the wavelength is this energy, let's use Planck's equation to find the frequency

            E = h f

             f = E / h

            f = 19.35 10⁻¹⁹ / 6.63 10⁻³⁴

            f = 2.9186 10¹⁵ Hz

now we can look up the wavelength

           c = λ f

           λ = c / f

           λ = 3 10⁸ / 2.9186 10¹⁵

           λ = 1.0278  10⁻⁷ m

let's reduce to nm

            λ = 102.78  nm

This radiation is in the UV range, which occurs for wavelengths less than 400 nm.

An electrician finds that a 1 m length of a certain type of wire has a resistance of 0.24 Ω . What is the total resistance of th
zlopas [31]

The resistance of a given conductor depends on its electrical resistivity (\rho), its length(L) and its cross-sectional area (A), as follows:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, we have L'=138L, \rho'=\rho and A'=A. So, the total resistance of the wire with length of 138m is:

R'=\frac{\rho' L'}{A'}\\R'=\frac{\rho 138L}{A}\\R'=138\frac{\rho L}{A}\\R'=138R\\R'=138(0.24\Omega)\\R'=33.12\Omega

1. A man travels 45 m in 35 seconds. How fast is that?<br> What’s the answer
Natalija [7]

Answer:

1.28

Explanation:

If you want to find the m/s you would divide distance by time, so

45 divided by 35 would equal 1.28571429 and so on.

you can just write the three first numbers.
