A. Both spheres land at the same time.
B. The thrown sphere lands before the dropped sphere.
C. The dropped sphere lands before the thrown sphere.

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion.  Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

If air resistance and friction are ignored, then both spheres land at the same time. Falling objects fall toward the center of the Earth with the same constant acceleration, independent of their mass, when they are defined to be in free-fall. For an object to be in free-fall, it has to be in a situation in which both air resistance and friction are considered negligible. This is true regardless of the direction of the fall.

The true brightness of an object is called its
g100num [7]
<span>The true brightness of an object is called its luminosity. It is the total amount of energy emitted by bright or meteorological objects over a period of time. It has the SI unit of joules per second or watts. So the answer is letter A. Intensity is the measure of how strong the substance or object is when it projects something. Magnitude is a measure of how great is the size the object produces. Viscosity is the measure of flow of a substance.</span>

An object is thrown upward with some velocity. If the object rises 77.5 m above the point of release, (a) how fast was the objec
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

v_o=39\ m/s\\t_m=4\ s

Explanation:

<u>Vertical Launch Upwards</u>

In a vertical launch upwards, an object is launched vertically up from a height H without taking into consideration any kind of friction with the air.

If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:

\displaystyle h_m=H+\frac{v_o^2}{2g}

The object referred to in the question is thrown from a height H=0 and the maximum height is hm=77.5 m.

(a)

To find the initial speed we solve for vo:

\displaystyle v_o=\sqrt{2gh_m}

v_o=\sqrt{2\cdot 9.8\cdot 77.5}

v_o=39\ m/s

(b)

The maximum time or the time taken by the object to reach its highest  point is calculated as follows:

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{v_o}{g}

\displaystyle t_m=\frac{39}{9.8}

t_m=4\ s

Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11 m/s and a 50-kg dolphin swimming 10.4 m/s. your answer
bogdanovich [222]
<span>First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma Force = mass* acceleration This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time, force=(mass*velocity)/time such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum Momentum=mass*velocity Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s Momentum=6300*0.11 P=693 kg (m/s) Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s Momentum=50*10.4 P=520 kg (m/s) The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.</span>
