Gravitational force acts on all objects in proportion to their masses. Why then, a heavy object does not fall faster than a ligh

Answer:

Well, it's because the air offers much greater resistance to the falling motion of the feather than it does to the brick. ... Galileo discovered that objects that are more dense, or have more mass, fall at a faster rate than less dense objects, due to this air resistance. A feather and brick dropped together.

A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are twice as far apart. The tension in t
Margarita [4]

Answer: 996m/s

Explanation:

Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is

V = √T/M where;

V is the velocity of wave

T is tension

M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)

Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1

Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively

V1 = √T/M1... 1

V2 = √T/M2... 2

Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1

The equations will now become

249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3

V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4

From 3,

249² = TL1/m...5

From 4,

V2²= 2TL1/m... 6

Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;

249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1

{249/V2}² = 1/2

249/V2 = (1/2)²

249/V2 = 1/4

V2 = 249×4

V2 = 996m/s

Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s

What quantity of heat is needed to convert 1 kg of ice at -13 degrees C to steam at 100 degrees C?
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Heat energy needed = 3036.17 kJ

Explanation:

We have

     heat of fusion of water = 334 J/g

     heat of vaporization of water = 2257 J/g

     specific heat of ice = 2.09 J/g·°C

     specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g·°C

     specific heat of steam = 2.09 J/g·°C

Here wee need to convert 1 kg ice from -13°C to vapor at 100°C

First the ice changes to -13°C from 0°C , then it changes to water, then its temperature increases from 0°C to 100°C, then it changes to steam.

Mass of water = 1000 g

Heat energy required to change ice temperature from -13°C to 0°C

          H₁ = mcΔT = 1000 x 2.09 x 13 = 27.17 kJ

Heat energy required to change ice from 0°C to water at 0°C

          H₂ = mL = 1000 x 334 = 334 kJ

Heat energy required to change water temperature from 0°C to 100°C  

          H₃ = mcΔT = 1000 x 4.18 x 100 = 418 kJ    

Heat energy required to change water from 100°C to steam at 100°C  

          H₄ = mL = 1000 x 2257 = 2257 kJ    

Total heat energy required

          H = H₁ +  H₂ + H₃ + H₄ = 27.17 + 334 + 418 +2257 = 3036.17 kJ

Heat energy needed = 3036.17 kJ

In a series circuit what effect will adding more resistors to the circuit have
zhuklara [117]

Answer:In a series circuit, adding more resistors increases total resistance and thus lowers current. But the opposite is true in a parallel circuit because adding more resistors in parallel creates more choices and lowers total resistance. If the same battery is connected to the resistors, current will increase.
