Answer:
When <em>a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather, the result</em> expected is that <em>the hammer hits the ground before the feather on Earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon (option D).</em>
Explanation:
In the abscence of atmosphere (vacuum), the objects fall in free fall. This is, the only force acting on the objects is the gravitational pull, which is directed vertlcally downward.
Under such absecence of air, the equations that rules the motion are:
- V = Vo + gt
- d = Vo + gt² / 2
- Vf² = Vo² + 2gd
As you see, all those equations are independent of the mass and shape of the object. This explains why <em>when an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather at the same time</em>, <em>the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon</em>, a space body where the gravitational attraction is so small (approximately 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration on Earth) that does not retain atmosphere.
On the other hand, the air (atmosphere) present in Earth will exert a considerable drag force on the feather (given its shape and small mass), slowing it down, whereas, the effect of the air on the hammer is almost neglectable. In general and as an approximation, the motion of the heavy bodies that fall near the surface is ruled by the free fall equations shown above, so, <em>the result </em>that is<em> expected when a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time is that the hammer hits the ground before the feather</em>.
Answer:
Antoine Lavoisier and Johann Wolfang Döbereiner organized the elements based on properties such as how the elements reacts or whether they are solid or liquid.
Explanation:
The periodic table of the elements as we have it today was developed as a result of the work of several notable centuries who lived centuries apart, all of who made notable contributions to development of the modern periodic table in use today.
In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier, a French Chemist provided a definition of elemets which he defined as a substance whose smallest units cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. He further grouped the elements into two as metals and nonmetals.
In 1829, German physicist Johann Wolfang Döbereiner arranged elements in groups of three in increasing order of atomic weight and called them triads. His arrangement owasf elements into triads was based on his observation of similarities in physical and chemical properties of certain elements.
John Newlands, a British Chemist was the first to arrange the elements into a periodic table with increasing order of atomic masses.
In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev developed a periodic table which provided a framework the modern periodic table. He arranged the elements according to their atomic weight, leaving gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered.
The modern periodic table arranges elements based on increasing atomic number.
Answer: I have no idea what kind of question this is, but I'm assuming it's a true or false question, and this is true. Although the north-bound pole is south-seeking, a compass would eventually draw you to the North Pole.
