No, the speed at which an object falls is not equal to the acceleration at which it falls.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Speed is defined as how fast an object can cover a specific distance and in what time it covers. So it is measured as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, speed is a scalar quantity and acceleration is a vector quantity. So most of the times, the direction will play an important role in the varying values of speed and acceleration. Also, acceleration of an object will depend upon the force and mass of the object. Thus, speed and acceleration will not attain same value always.

A person hits a 45-g golf ball. The ball comes down on a tree root and bounces

Verizon [17]

Answer:

Maximum height, h = 10 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of golf ball, m = 45 g = 0.045 kg

The ball comes down on a tree root and bounces straight up with an initial speed of 14.0 m/s.

We need to find the height the ball will rise after the bounce. It is based on the conservation of energy such that,

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

h is maximum height raised by the ball

$h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(14)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=10\ m$

So, the ball will raised to a height of 10 meters.

How does the direction of current flow in the coil affect the orientation of the magnetic field produced by the electromagnet

Lynna [10]

Answer:

The magnetic field produced by an electric current is always oriented perpendicular to the direction of the current flow. And.Direction of magnetic field is governed by the 'right hand thumb rule, The right hand rule states that: to determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge, ƒ, point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of v, the fingers in the direction of B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of Force . Similar to the situation with electric field lines, the greater the number of lines (or the closer they are together) in an area the stronger the magnetic field.

At 1.70 atm, a sample of gas takes up 4.25L. If the pressure in the gas is increased to 2.40 atm, what will the new volume be?

ozzi

Answer:

This question is an example of Boyle's gas law which states that the pressure of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature. The formula for this gas law is:

P1·V1 = P2·V2

P1 = initial pressure = 1.7 atm

V1 = initial volume = 4.25 L

P2 = final pressure = 2.4 atm

V2 = final volume = ?

Rearrange the formula to isolate V2. Substitute the known data and solve.

V2 = P1·V1/P2

V2 = 1.7 atm·4.25 L/2.4 atm = 3.0 L to two significant figures

The new volume will be ~3.0 L.

Elaine and her bike have a combined mass of 50 kg. in a bicycle race, Elaine uses the pedals to create a forward force of 75 N.

yarga [219]

If the friction and air resistance was 75N and Elaine was traveling with a force of 75N the forces would cancel out. Elaine's bike would not be moving and all the forces would be balanced
