Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

Answer:1/√2

Explanation:

the rock has lost half of its gravitational potential energy, its kinetic energy at the halfway point is half of its kinetic energy at impact. Since K.E is proportional to v^2, if K.E at halfway point is equal to 1/2 x K.E,

Then,

The K.E at impact, then the rock’s speed at the halfway point

its speed at impact will be 1/√2 its impact speed

Help please! based on the following table, which object has the lowest density? A. object A B. object B C. object C D. object D
seraphim [82]
The answer to this question lies in the definition of density. One material will just float over another if its density is smaller. If one material is denser than the other, it will sink. Density can be defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance at a given pressure and temperature. Thus, for a material to float in water, it does not depend on the weight, or rather on the mass, but on the distribution of the mass by the volume occupied, that is, of the density. The more distributed the mass, that is, the larger its volume, the less dense the object and it will float.


Object C has the lowest density<span>
65 N or 6.5 Kg ------------ 6 N or 6 Kg

This effective mass under water will be its actual mass minus the mass of the fluid displaced. 

The buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.
Weight of object - buoyant force on object (the mass of the fluid displaced)

6Kg - 6.5Kg= - 0.5Kg

</span>Answer: C. object C

What does Bohr's model of the atom resemble the most?
erastova [34]
It would be "The Solar System". You can compare nucleus with the Sun at the center of our solar system and planets with the electrons which revolves around the nucleus as planets do with the Sun.

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

The specific heat capacity of copper is three times the specific heat capacity of lead. Equal masses of copper and lead are heat
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

three times

Explanation:

Heat added is calculated according to the following equation

Q = mcΔT

where Q is the heat added

           c is the specific heat capacity (of lead for the purposes of this question)

           ΔT is the temperature change in Kelvin or degree Celsius

Q1 for heating lead = mc(373K-298K) = 75mc

Q2 for heating copper = m(3c)(373-298) = 225mc = 3(75mc) = 3Q1
