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.

Why is Carbon Tetrahydride a covalent bond? plzzz helpppp!!!!!!​
arlik [135]

Answer:

carbon has four unpaired electrons in its valence shell . hydrogen having one unpaired electron in its valence shell comes to bond with carbon by sharing a pair of electrons .since carbon needs 4 electrons to be stable, 4 hydrogen atoms take part in the bond . It's a covalent bond because the difference between the electronegativity of carbon and hydrogen is quite small .

Which of the following describes the way heat is transferred in a geyser?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Heat is transferred by the hot air or water moving to a cooler area. The elements rotate in circular motions, giving the geyser pressure.

Atmospheric conditions near a mountain range are such that a cloud at an altitude of 2.00 km contains 3.20 ✕ 10^7 kg of water va
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

time required is 6.72 years

Explanation:

Given data

mass m = 3.20 ✕ 10^7 kg

height h = 2.00 km = 2 × 10^3 m

power p = 2.96 kW  =2.96 × 10^3 J/s

to find out

time period

solution

we know work is mass × gravity force × height

and power is work / time

so we say that power =  mass  gravity force × height / time

now put all value and find time period

power =  mass × gravity force × height / time

2.96 × 10^3 =  3.20 ✕ 10^7  × 9.81× 2 × 10^3  / time

time =  62.784 × 10^10 / 2.96 × 10^3

time = 21.21081081 × 10^7 sec

time = 58.91891892 × 10^3 hours

time = 6.72 years

so time required is 6.72 years

26. An ice-skater who weighs 200 N is gliding across the ice. If the force of friction is 4 N. what is the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

0.02

Explanation:

coefficient of kinetic friction = μ

force of friction = Ff

Normal Force = FN, but

FN = -W

Ff = -μFN

so μ = Ff/FN

= 4N/200N

= 0.02.
