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

t object?

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.

What is the difference between static and Kenetic friction?
rusak2 [61]
Static friction is the friction between an object at rest and the surface on which it is resting on.

Kinetic friction is the friction between a moving object and the surface on which it moves.

Hopefully you understood and this helps :)

How do you measure velocity?
olchik [2.2K]
Speed and velocity are both measured using the same units. The SI unit of distance and displacement is the meter. The SI unit of time is the second. The SI unit of speed and velocity is the ratio of two — the meter per second.

Which statements describe projectile motion? Check all that apply.
miv72 [106K]

In projectile motion we can say initial components of velocity is

v_x = v_0 cos\theta

v_y = v_0 sin\theta

now here horizontal motion is uniform motion as there is no force in this direction while in vertical direction due to gravity it will accelerate

so we have

x = v_0 cos\theta * t

y = v_0 sin\theta * t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

so here we have x and y coordinates are related to each other as it will take same time to move the positions

so here correct options are

<em>Projectile motion is a combination of horizontal and vertical motion. </em>

<em>The horizontal and vertical motions of a projectile are dependent on each other.</em>

Which part of john dalton’s theory was disproved by j. J. Thomson’s cathode-ray tube experiments?.
Leni [432]

Answer:

While controversial at first, Thomson's discoveries were gradually accepted by scientists. Eventually, his cathode ray particles were given a more familiar name: electrons. The discovery of <em>the electron</em> disproved the part of Dalton's atomic theory that assumed atoms were indivisible.

A ball has a mass of 10 Kg. Calculate the force of weight on the ball
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

98 N

Explanation:

Weight is mass times acceleration due to gravity.  Assuming the ball is near the surface of the earth, g = 9.8 m/s².

W = mg

W = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

W = 98 N
