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.

Check the power source. Your thermostat may just not be connected right or at all. A blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker or dead batteries will prevent the thermostat from turning on your furnace.

Dirty thermostat? That’ll cause issues. Clean up any dust, dirt, spider webs and other debris. Any of these things can coat the inside of the thermostat and interfere with both electrical and mechanical functions of the thermostat. Put this on your get-ready-for-winter cleaning list. Just use a soft, clean brush to clean the inside components gently. Don’t get anything wet. Also you can use a can of compressed air, such as is used for electronics, to clear debris.

Check for any loose wires or terminal screws inside the thermostat. Make sure wires aren’t corroded or detached. Never remove the thermostat cover without removing the batteries or turning off the power at the fuse or breaker box. Tighten screws and secure loose wires if needed.

It may be time to replace your thermostat is it’s old. They aren’t meant to last forever and an old thermostat may be costing you a lot of money in wasted energy and time spent tinkering with an outdated model. There are great programmable thermostats available now that are easy to use and simple to connect to your existing HVAC system. Click here for more info on programmable thermostats.

Three forces are applied to a solid cylinder of mass 12 kg (see the drawing). The magnitudes of the forces are F1 = 15 N, F2 = 2
crimeas [40]

Answer:

α = 13.7 rad / s²

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law for rotational motion

         ∑ τ = I α

         

we will assume that the counterclockwise turns are positive

         F₁  0 + F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃ = I α

give us the cylinder moment of inertia

        I = ½ M R₂²

         

        α = (F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃)  \frac{2}{M R_2^2}

let's calculate

        α = (24  0.22 - 13  0.10) \frac{2}{12 \ 0.22^2}2/12 0.22²

        α = 13.7 rad / s²

In this reaction diagram which part represents the doffrence in energy between the reactants and the products?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. G.

Explanation:

In this reaction diagram, there is a representation of the reaction profile. The reaction profile shows the change that takes place during a reaction in the energy of reactants or substrate and products. In this profile, activation energy looks like a hump in the line, and the minimum energy required to initiate the reaction.

The overall energy of the reaction, including or excluding activation energy depends on the nature of the reaction if it is exothermic or endothermic. and products are represented by the G which shows the difference between the energy of the reactants and products.

A skateboarder with a mass of 67.0 kilograms (including the skateboard) rolls down from the top of a ramp, reaching a velocity o
Llana [10]

The potential energy of the skateboarder at the top of the ramp is

489.1 J.

<h3>Is kinetic energy always equal to potential energy?</h3>

The amount of kinetic energy change and the amount of potential energy change are equal in all physical processes that take place in closed systems. When the kinetic energy rises, the potential energy falls, and vice versa.

Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system as a result of its position or component arrangement. However, external factors like air or height have no effect on it. The energy of a moving object or system is referred to as kinetic energy.

Potential energy = kinetic energy

Potential energy = 1/2mv²

Potential energy = 1/2 × 67×7.3

Potential energy = 489.1 J.
