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.

You are playing a game of catch with a dog. Fido is initially standing near your feet. Then he jogs 10 m in a straight line to r
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

3 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

Fido is initially standing near the person's feet. Initially, he jogs 10 meters in a straight line to retrieve a stick and carries it 7 m back toward the person before lying on the ground to chew on the stick.

Initially, he covers 10 meters of distance then it comes towards the person and covers 7 meters in front of the person.

It is clear that he is at a distance of 10 meters - 7 meters = 3 meters

Answer:

SKID

Explanation:

In general, airplane tracks are flat, they do not have cant, consequently the friction force is what keeps the bicycle in the circle.

Let's use Newton's second law, let's set a reference frame with the horizontal x-axis and the vertical y-axis.

Y axis y

     N- W = 0

     N = W

X axis (radial)

        fr = m a

the acceleration in the curve is centripetal

         a = \frac{v^2}{r}

the friction force has the expression

        fr = μ N

we substitute

       μ mg = m v²/r

       v = \sqrt{\mu g r}

we calculate

      v = \sqrt{0.1 \ 9.8 \ 3}

      v = 1,715 m / s

to compare with the cyclist's speed let's reduce to the SI system

        v₀ = 18 km / h (1000 m / 1 km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 5 m / s

We can see that the speed that the cyclist is carrying is greater than the speed that the curve can take, therefore the cyclist will SKID

When is something weightless
valkas [14]

The phenomenon of "weightlessness" occurs when there is no force of support on your body. When your body is effectively in "free fall", accelerating downward at the acceleration of gravity, then you are not being supported.
