Answer: The more massive one will have larger kinetic energy.

Explanation:

We know that when we drop an object, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration.

a(t) = -9.8m/s^2

And to get the velocity, we need to integrate over time, to get:

v(t) = (-9.8m/s^)*t + v0

Where v0 is the initial speed of the object.

You can see that the mass of the object does not affect the velocity of it.

Then when we drop two marbles of different masses from the same height, we know that the final velocity of them will be equal.

Now, we also know that the kinetic energy can be written as:

K = (m/2)*v^2

where m is the mass, and v is the velocity.

Then the kinetic energy of the marble with less mass can be written as:

k = (m/2)*v^2

And the kinetic energy for the more massive one is:

K = (M/2)*v^2

And we know that both of them have the same velocity, and M is larger than m, then we can conclude that the marble with larger mass will have larger kinetic energy.

Barack is playing basketball in his back yard. He takes a shot 7.0 m from the basket (measured along the ground), shooting at an
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The time of flight of the ball is 1.06 seconds.

Explanation:

Given \Delta x=7\ m

\theta=45 \°

Also, \Delta y=(3.5-2)=1.5\ m

a_x=0\ and\ a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2

Let us say the velocity in the x-direction is v_x and in the y-direction is v_y. And acceleration in the x-direction is a_x and in the y-direction is a_y.

Also, \Delta x\ and\ \Delta y is distance covered in x and y direction respectively. And t is the time taken by the ball to hit the backboard.

We can write v_x=v_0cos(45)\ and\ v_y=v_0sin(45). Where v_0 is velocity of ball.

Now,

\Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_x\times t^2\\ \Delta x=v_x\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0\times t^2\\\Delta x=v_xt

\Delta x=v_0cos(45)\times t\\7=v_0cos(45)\times t\\\\t=\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}

Also,

\Delta y=v_y\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a_y\times t^2\\ 1.5=v_0sin(45)\times \frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}+\frac{1}{2}\times (-9.81)\times(\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)} )^2\\\\1.5=7-\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}\\ \\\frac{481}{(v_0)^2}=5.5\\\\(v_0)^2=\frac{481}{5.5}\\ \\(v_0)^2=87.45\\\\v_0=\sqrt{87.45}=9.35\ m/s.

Plugging this value in

t=\frac{7}{v_0cos(45)}\\ \\t=\frac{7}{9.35\times 0.707}\\ \\t=\frac{7}{6.611}

t=1.06\ seconds

So, the time of flight of the ball is 1.06 seconds.

Share your thoughts about this statement by John Wesley<br> "Electricty is the soul of universe"
ikadub [295]

Answer:

<em>I think this statement is true at least in modern day times. The world runs on nothing but technology. People use more technology instead of old school textbooks and papers. Imagine living in a world without technology… that means no cars, no trains, no devices, no machines like your stove or printer, no lights and lots more. John Wesley is 100 percent correct with this statement. Electricity is indeed the powerhouse of the universe. </em>

Determine if the data are qualitative, quantitative, or neither. Zinc is a silver-gray metal. Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L.
AysviL [449]

Qualitative data gives the information of quality which can not be measured in numbers. For example: Color of eyes, softness of skin.

Quantitative data is information of quantity that can be represented in numbers. For example length and mass of any object.

Zinc is a silver-gray metal is a qualitative data, here silver gray color is quality of zinc metal which can not be measured in numbers.

Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L is a quantitative data. The value of density can be compared with other elements by comparing the numbers.

Gallium is not found in nature is neither qualitative nor quantitative.

Nitrogen has a melting point of –210.00 °C is a quantitative data because this is expressed in numbers.

Aluminum is a solid is a qualitative data because it tells about the state of element which can not be measured in numbers.
