Two metal balls are the same size but one weighs twice as much as the other. The balls are dropped from the roof of a single sto

ry building at the same instant of time. The time it takes the balls to reach the ground below will be:
a.about half as long for the heavier ball as for the lighter one.
b.about half as long for the lighter ball as for the heavier one.
c,about the same for both balls.
d.considerably less for the heavier ball, but not necessarily half as long.
e..considerably less for the lighter ball, but not necessarily half as long.

Answer:

c, About the same for both balls.

Explanation:

If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height.

At each corner of a square of side l there are point charges of magnitude Q, 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q.What is the magnitude and direction
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

magnitude of force on charge 2Q  = \frac{KQ^{2} }{I^{2} }

Direction of force on charge = 61 ⁰

Explanation:

The magnitude on the force on the charge can be evaluated by finding the net force acting on the charge 2Q  i.e x-component of the net force and the y-component of the net force

║F║ = \sqrt{f_{x}^{2} + f_{y}^{2}    }  =  after considering the forces coming from Q, 3Q and 4Q AND APPLYING COULOMBS LAW

magnitude of force acting on 2Q = \frac{KQ^{2} }{I^{2} }

The direction of the force on charge 2Q is calculated as

tan ∅ = \frac{f_{y} }{f_{x} } = 1.8284

therefore ∅ = tan^{-1}  1.8284

= 61⁰

A spotlight on a boat is y = 2.2 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is x = 8.5 m horizontally di
slava [35]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The distance d, which locates the point where the light strikes the bottom is   29.345 m from the spotlight.

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that Snell's law states that

The product of the incident index and the sine of the angle of incident is equal to the product of the refractive index and the sine of the angle of refraction

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

y = 2.2 m and strikes at x = 8.5 m, therefore tanθ₁ = 2.2/8.5 = 0.259 and

θ₁ =  14.511 °

n₁ = 1.0003 = refractive index of air

n₂ = 1.33 = refractive index of water

Therefore sinθ₂ =  \frac{n_1sin\theta_1}{n_2}  = \frac{1.003*0.251}{1.33} = 0.1885 and θ₂ = 10.86 °

Since the water depth is 4.0 m we have tanθ₂ = \frac{4}{x_2} or x₂ = \frac{4}{tan\theta_2 } =\frac{4}{tan(10.86)} = 20.845 m

d = x₂ + 8.5 = 20.845 m + 8.5 m = 29.345 m.

State a true conclusion.
Ganezh [65]

The conclusion is; Cathy's dad has gone fishing.

<h3>What are conclusions in conditional statements?</h3>

A conditional statement is a statement with a hypothesis which is then followed by a conclusion.

A conditional statement has two parts; "if" and "then"

The hypothesis is “if,” part of a conditional statement.

The conclusion is the “then,” part of a conditional statement.

Considering the given conditional statements:

1. If it's Saturday, then Cathy's dad goes fishing.

2. If it's Saturday, then Cathy's dad goes fishing.

Since the if part is true, the conclusion will be, Cathy's dad has gone fishing.

In conclusion, a conditional statement consists of a hypothesis and a conclusion.

Enterprising students set an enormous slip-n-slide (a plastic sheetcovered in water to reduce friction) on flat ground. If the s
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

a = -0.05 m/s² (negative sign shows deceleration)

Explanation:

In order, to find out the minimum average acceleration for a student starting at 5 m/s to slide to the end, we can use 3rd equation of motion. 3rd equation of motion is given as follows:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = minimum acceleration required = ?

s = minimum distance covered = 250 m

Vf = Final Speed = 0 m/s (for minimum acceleration the student will barely cover 250 m and then stop)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 5 m/s

Therefore,

2a(250 m) = (0 m/s)² - (5 m/s)²

a = - (25 m²/s²)/(500 m)

<u>a = -0.05 m/s²</u> (negative sign shows deceleration)
