When dropped from the same height, will a minivan or tricycle hit the ground first? Why?

Physics

Serga [27]3 years ago

Minivan hits the ground first than tricycle due to heavier mass and lesser air resistance.

Explanation:

According to Galileo's motion of objects, when two objects having different masses and areas dropped from same height does not hit the ground at the same time.

it's because the air offers much greater resistance to the falling motion of the lighter object than it does to the heavier one. The air is actually an upward force of friction, acting against gravity and slowing down the rate at which the tricycle falls.

Due to this when a minivan or tricycle when dropped from same height hits the ground at different times. As friction of air offers greater resistance to tricycle. Since minivan is heavier there will be lesser impact of air on it. So, minivan hits the ground first than tricycle.

Would time travel ever be possible? If so how and through what extensive process would it might be possible.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

There are two ways we may, one day, be able to time travel forwards.

You may have heard of Cryogenics. This is when someone who’s died is frozen instead of being buried or cremated. The theory is they can be “woken up” in the future when we have the technology to bring them back to life. Or a machine or device could be developed so that some people age more slowly than others around them. This way they’d live longer and see a future beyond the average person’s life span.  

Another very different way of travelling into the future is more like what you’d see in science fiction. This is might involve travelling in a rocket or spaceship at a very high speed, close to the speed of light. “We can’t establish equality with the speed of light but it is possible, in theory, to travel nearly as fast as the speed of light,” adds Dr Steane.  

So imagine you’re in a spaceship travelling very fast away from the Earth and you stay in orbit for a year. You would age at the same rate as if you were still on the Earth, by a year, but when you returned, the earth may have aged hundreds of years. “This is way beyond the technology we have at the moment,” he says. “But... in theory, it is possible.”

A ball of mass 4.5 kg moving with speed of 2.2 m/s in the +x-direction hits a wall and bounces back with the same speed in the x
Levart [38]

Answer:

The change of the momentum of the ball is -19.8\, \frac{mkg}{s}

Explanation:

We should find \varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=\overrightarrow{p_{f}}-\overrightarrow{p_{i}} (1)with \overrightarrow{p_{i}} the initial momentum and \overrightarrow{p_{f}} the final momentum. Linear momentum is defined as \overrightarrow{p}=m\overrightarrow{v}, using that on (1):

\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m \overrightarrow{v_{f}}-m \overrightarrow{v_{i}} (2)

It's important to note that momentum and velocity are vectors and direction matters, so if +x direction is the direction towards the wall and the -x direction away the wall \overrightarrow{v_{i}}=+2.2\, \frac{m}{s} and \overrightarrow{v_{f}}=-2.2\, \frac{m}{s} so (2) becomes:

\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m(-2.2- (+2.2))=-(4.5)(4.4)

\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=-19.8\, \frac{mkg}{s}
