People often think that Galileo dropped two objects of dramatically different mass off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa that both hi

t the ground at the same time. Explain why in reality this was most likely not true.

Answer: because of air resistance. See explanation for further details.

Explanation: Galileo performed an experiment to proof that the time of descent of two different masses is independent of time.

But in reality this is most likely not true because of air resistance and other fluid frictional effects in consideration.

If the experiment is performed in a vacuum, it will always be true that time is independent of masses of two falling objects.

The kinetic energy of an object is increased by a factor of 4 . By what factor is the magnitude of its momentum changed: 2.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>
  • A particle or an item that is in motion has a sort of energy called kinetic energy. An item accumulates kinetic energy when work, which involves the transfer of energy, is done on it by exerting a net force.
  • Kinetic energy comes in five forms: radiant, thermal, acoustic, electrical, and mechanical.
  • The energy of a body in motion, or kinetic energy (KE), is essentially the energy of all moving objects. Along with potential energy, which is the stored energy present in objects at rest, it is one of the two primary types of energy.
  • Explain that a moving object's mass and speed are two factors that impact the amount of kinetic energy it will possess.

20. The speed of Light is 3.0 x 108 m/s. Blue Light has a frequency of 6.11 x 1014 Hz. What is its wavelength?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

the applicable formula is

v = fλ

where

v = velocity (i.e speed) = given as 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency = given asw 6.11 x 10¹⁴

λ = wavelength

if we rearrange the equation and substitute the values given above,

v = fλ

λ = v/f  

= 3.0 x 10⁸ / 6.11 x 10¹⁴

= 4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m

Sunlight reflects from a concave piece of broken glass, converging to a point 34 cm from the glass. what is the radius of curvat
wolverine [178]
The rays of light coming from the Sun are parallel to each other, so when they are reflected by the concave piece of glass (which acts as a concave mirror) they converge into the focus of the mirror, which is
f=34 cm
The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is twice its focal length, so in this case it is:
r=2f = 2 \cdot 34 cm=78 cm

calculate the height from which a body is released from rest if its velocity just before hitting the ground is 30 metre per seco
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

height is 45 metres

Explanation:

KE=PE

¹/²mv² = mgh

¹/²v² = gh

but v =30m/s

(30)² / 2 =10h

450=10h

h = 45m
