Answer:

If we Drop any object there is gravity acts on it and the air resistance but since, we are given the condition in absence of air resistance

So, we will consider only the gravity and due to gravity all the three bowls bowling ball, a tennis ball, and a feather from the top of a tall building will hit the ground at same time.

Hence, The option D is correct.

Option A,B,C and E are discarded.

6) If a mass of an object is decreased to half and acting force is reduced by quarter the acceleration of its motion
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Decreases to half.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial mass (m₁) = m

Initial force (F₁) = F

Initial acceleration (a₁) =?

Final mass (m₂) = ½m

Final force (F₂) = ¼F

Final acceleration (a₂) =?

Next, we shall determine a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

F₁ = m₁a₁

F = ma₁

Divide both side by m

a₁ = F / m

Next, we shall determine a₂.

F₂ = m₂a₂

¼F = ½ma₂

2F = 4ma₂

Divide both side by 4m

a₂ = 2F / 4m

a₂ = F / 2m

Finally, we shall determine the ratio of a₂ to a₁. This can be obtained as follow:

a₁ = F / m

a₂ = F / 2m

a₂ : a₁ = a₂ / a₁

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m ÷ F/m

a₂ / a₁ = F/2m × m/F

a₂ / a₁ = ½

Cross multiply

a₂ = ½a₁

From the illustrations made above, the acceleration of the car will decrease to half the original acceleration

The red shift of visible light waves that is observed by astronomers on Earth is used to determine the
Kryger [21]
This actually means that the object which is emitting light spectrum is moving away from us.. how do you know that ? well.. it is clearly mentioned that it is a red shift so the wavelengths will stretched more . and thus the spectrum turns more reddish as it has higher wavelengths .. hence so called red shifts

Earthquakes are caused by movement of the Earth's crust. What causes the Earth's crust to move?
fomenos

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or a tectonic shift.

A 3 Volt battery is connected in series to three resistors: 4,6, and 2. Find the total resistance.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The same current flows through each resistor in series. Individual resistors in series do not get the total source voltage, but divide it. The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances: RN(series)=R1+R2+R3+…
