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.

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you. How much time does it take the light to travel that distance?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

t=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.

We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,

speed = distance/time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609}{3\cdot10^{8}}\\\\=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

So, the required time is 5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

Allushta [10]

No.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a random error has been minimized or even eliminated.

<h3>What is a random error?</h3>

Random error is defined as the deviation of the total error from its mean value due to chance.

Random errors can result from the instrument not being precise or from mistakes by the researcher.

Random errors can be minimized by taking multiple readings and averaging the results.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a ransom error has been minimized.

What determines an object’s thermal energy
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

temperature and mass

Explanation:

  • The higher the temperature of a given quantity of a substance, more is its thermal energy.

  • If a substance contains more mass, this also implies that the object has more particles in it . hence, it has high thermal energy.

<em><u>A</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>d</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>l</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>I</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u>f</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>r</u></em><em><u>m</u></em><em><u>a</u></em><em><u>t</u></em><em><u>i</u></em><em><u>o</u></em><em><u>n</u></em><em><u> </u></em>:

  • Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.

  • The thermal energy of an object depends on three factors:

  1. number of molecules in the object
  2. temperature of the object.
  3. thermal energy it has.

While playing a scavenger hunt game, Anthony walks 48.0 m to the south and then walks 12.0 m to the west. What single straight-l
Alenkasestr [34]
As these are distances created by moving in a straight line, using a trigonometric analysis can solve the missing single straight-line displacement. Looking at the 48m and 12m movements as legs of a triangle, obtaining the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem will yield us the correct answer.
This is shown below:

c^2 = 48^2 + 12^2
c = sqrt(2304 + 144)
c = sqrt(2448)
c = 49.48 m

To obtain the angle at which Anthony walks 49.48, we obtain the arc tangent of (12/48). This is shown below:

arc tan (12/48) =14.04 degrees.

Therefore, Anthony could have walked 49.48 m towards the S 14.04 W direction.
