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.

Explanation :

Bioinformatics is the science that manages the database, digital tools and software used by both medicine and forensic science to store and analyze DNA.

It involves the use of computers to collect all the data and organize data. It also develops methods and computational tools for understanding biological data.

It helps in tracing the evolution of organism using DNA and builds a computational model.

What are the characteristics of a nebulae? (Select all that apply.)
erica [24]

Answer:

B. contain hydrogen

C. clouds of gas and dust

E. needed to create a star

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

Some of the examples of stars are; Vega, Sun (closest to planet Earth), Antares, Betelgeus, Canopus, etc.

Stars are typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He). The chronological order in which the formation of a star occur are;

1. Gravity pulls gas and dust together to form dense cores.

2. A protostar forms as mass increases.

3. Nuclear fusion begins under high pressure.

Scientists have been able to understand and discover that, gravity pulled materials (low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust known as a nebula) together forming the planetary bodies in our solar system.

A dark nebula can be defined as an interstellar cloud that is so dense as a result of high concentration of gas and dust and as such it obscures the visible wavelengths of light from stars behind it, thus appearing completely opaque (dark patch) in front of a bright emission nebula or in regions having plenty stars.

The characteristics of a nebulae are;

I. It contain hydrogen.

II. Clouds of gas and dust

III. It is needed to create a star.

The third floor of a house is 8m above street level. How much work is needed to move a 136kg refrigerator to the third floor?
jonny [76]

m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved  = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J
