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

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.

prohojiy [21]
<span>Since forces are vector quantities, we must indicate direction using positive and negative values. East will be assigned positive and west will be negative. Friction will act as a negative force since it impedes action. To calculate the net force we sum the vector quantities, as follows. Net force equals 50n which is derived by the following calculation: 300n-220n-30n.</span>

Most reactive non-metals in order?
kompoz [17]
Nonmetals often share or gain electrons. The nonmetals in the periodic table increases as you move to the right and decreases as you go down. This is because, the smaller the atom, the reactive it gets due to less electron attached to the orbits of the atom. The reactivity of nonmetals is arranged in decreasing order.   <span>

The depth of a pond is 1.5m. Calculate the pressure caused by the water at the bottom of the pond ?​?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Area=1.5(1.5)=2.25m^2

Force of gravity=10N

\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{Force}{Area}\end{gathered}

⟼Pressure=

Area

Force

\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=\dfrac{10}{2.25}\end{gathered}

⟼Pressure=

2.25

10

\begin{gathered}\\ \sf\longmapsto Pressure=4.4Pa\end{gathered}

⟼Pressure=4.4Pa

Assuming motion is on a straight path, what would result in two positive components of a vector?
erastovalidia [21]
Assuming motion is on a straight path, the result of two positive components of a vector would also be a positive value since both are having positive signs and directions. The direction would be the same with the motion as well. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
