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.

Find the hiker’s gravitational potential energy if the cliff is 60m high
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Potential energy is U=mgh

Explanation:

The potential energy depends on the mass, the acceleration of gravity g and the height at which the object or person is.

Potential energy  U=mgh

In this case we would need to know the exact mass of the hiker in order to calculate the potential energy.

But we know the values of g and h

g=9.81m/s^2

h=60m

So, the potential energy

U=m(9.81m/s^2)(60m)\\\\U=588.6*m

m is the mass of the hiker, wich is not in the description of the problem.

What is a homopolar motor?????)
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

A homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles, the conductors of which always cut unidirectional lines of magnetic flux by rotating a conductor around a fixed axis so that the conductor is at right angles to a static magnetic field.

It was once recorded that a Jaguar
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

71.85 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Length of skid marks left by jaguar (s) = 290 m

Skidding Acceleration (a) = - 8.90m/s²

Final velocity of jaguar (v) = 0

Speed of Jaguar before it Began to skid =?

Hence, initial speed of jaguar could be obtained using the formula :

v² = u² + 2as

Where

v = final speed of jaguar ; u = initial speed of jaguar(before it Began to skid) ; a = acceleration of jaguar ; s = distance /length of skid marks left by jaguar

0² = u² + (2 × (-8.90) × 290)

0 = u² + (-5,162)

u² = 5162

Take the square root of both sides

u = √5162

u = 71.847 m/s

u = 71.85m/s

A student standing on a knoll throws a snowball horizontally 4.5 meters above the level ground toward a smokestack 15 meters awa
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2.4 m

Explanation:

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

y_{o} = initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m

t = time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s

v_{oy} = initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction

a_{y} = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

y = position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack

Using the kinematics equation

y = y_{o} + v_{oy} t + (0.5) a_{y} t^{2}

inserting the above values

y = 4.5 + (0) (0.65) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (0.65)^{2} \\y = 2.4 m
