The horizontal speed has no effect on how long it takes to reach the ground.
A bullet shot from a gun and a bullet dropped from the front end of the gun
at the same time as the shot both hit the ground at the same time.

The number that counts is the height from which it fell . . . the 1.25 m.

I'll use this very useful formula:

       Distance of free fall,
       starting from rest            = (1/2) · (gravity) · (time)²

                                  1.25 m  =  (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (time)²

Divide each side
by   4.9 m/s²  :          1.25 m / 4.9 m/s²  =  time²

                                          0.2551 sec²  =  time²

Square root each side:       0.505 sec  =  time

It looks like the correct choice is approximately 'A'. (rounded)

What will happen to the velocity and momentum of each ball when the small ball hits the heavier large ball?
kap26 [50]
Most of the momentum is transferred to the ball on top. Since the collision in this situation is elastic, momentum is conserved, meaning the momentum of both balls before hitting the floor is equal to the momentum of both balls right after the collision.

The desert sand is very hot during the day and very cold at night. What does this tell you about its specific heat capacity?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.
