Why do heavier objects fall at the same speed as lighter ones?

GaryK [48]

Speed of any freely falling object is always same. Provided, both are left to fall from the same height. If you perform this experiment in a perfect vacuum or near vacuum laboratory, both of them will reach ground with same velocity this is because there is no resistance to their motion. This is always true no matter where you go and perform this experiment.
It can be easily proved from conservation of mechanical energy. Why conserving energy? because there are no forces acting on the freely falling objects other than conservative force(mg).

The bell rings and a physics student heads to class. They stop to talk to a few friends. They slow

grin007 [14]

Answer:

420m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time = 5minutes

Average speed = 1.4m/s

Unknown:

Distance covered = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

Mathematically;

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Distance = speed x time

Insert the parameters and solve;

Convert the time to seconds;

1 minute = 60s

5 minute = 5 x 60 = 300s

So,

Insert the parameters and find the distance;

Distance = 300 x 1.4 = 420m

For a certain optical medium the speed of light varies from a low value of 1.90 × 10 8 m/s for violet light to a high value of 2

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a. The refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56

b. 18.7° for violet light and 19.5° for red light.

c. 33.7° for violet light and 35.3° for red light.

Explanation:

a. The refractive index of an object is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the object.

Mathematically,

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

The speed of violet light in the object is $1.9 * 10^8 m/s$ .

The speed of red light in the object is $2 * 10^8 m/s$

Hence, the refractive index for violet light is:

$n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{1.9 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.56$

and for red light, it is:

$n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{2 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.5$

Hence, the refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56.

b. The refractive index is also the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction.

$n = \frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)}$

The angle of incidence is 30°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

$1.56 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.56} = \frac{0.5}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3205\\\\r = 18.7^o$

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

$1.5 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.5} = \frac{0.5}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3333\\\\r = 19.5^o$

The angle of refraction for red light is larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 30°.

c. The angle of incidence is 60°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

$1.56 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.56} = \frac{0.8660}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5551\\\\r = 33.7^o$

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

$1.5 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.5} = \frac{0.8660}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5773\\\\r = 35.3^o$

The angle of refraction for red light is still larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 60°.
