Answer:

The time of motion is 0.64 s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the apple, m = 107 g

height of fall, h = 2 m

The velocity of the apple when it hits the ground is calculated from the law of conservation of energy;

P.E = K.E\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\gh = \frac{1}{2} v^2\\\\v^2 = 2gh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2} \\\\v = 6.261 \ m / s

The time of motion is calculated;

v = u + gt

6.261 = 0 + 9.8t

6.261 = 9.8t

t = 6.261 / 9.8

t = 0.64 s

Therefore, the time of motion is 0.64 s

viktelen [127]
<span>A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air.
Yes.  Forces on the balloon are unbalanced. 
The balloon is speeding up, so we know that the downward force
of gravity is stronger than the upward force of air resistance.

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.
No. The ball is not accelerating, so we know that the forces on it
are balanced.
The downward force of gravity on the ball and the upward force
of the ground are equal.


An ice skater glides in a straight line at a constant speed.
No. The skater's speed and direction are not changing, so he is not
accelerating.  That tells us that the forces on him are balanced.

A bumper car hit by another car moves off at an angle.
Yes.  The direction in which the car was moving changed. 
That's acceleration, so we know that the forces on it are unbalanced,
at least at the moment of impact. 

A balloon flies across the room when the air is released.
Yes.  The balloon was not moving. But when the little nozzle was
opened, it started to zip around the room.  So its speed changed.
And, as it goes bloozing around the room, its direction keeps changing too. 
There's a whole lot of acceleration going on, so we know the forces on it
are unbalanced.</span>

What is the energy in the spark produced by discharging the second capacitor? 1. The same as the discharge spark of the first ca
Nastasia [14]

Complete Question

The two isolated parallel plate capacitors be-  low, one with plate separation d and the other  with D > d, have the same plate area A and

are given the same charge Q.

What is the energy in the spark produced by discharging the second capacitor?

 1. The same as the discharge spark of the first capacitor

2. More energetic than the discharge spark of the first capacitor

3. Less energetic than the discharge spark of the first capacitor

Answer:

The correct option is 2

Explanation:

The formula for the energy stored in the capacitor is

             U = \frac{Q^2}{2C}

And generally the formula for finding the capacitance of a capacitor is

               C = \frac{\epsilon_oA}{d}

We can denote the capacitance of the first capacitor as C_1 = \frac{\epsilon_oA}{d}

          and   denote the capacitance of the second  capacitor as C_2 = \frac{\epsilon_oA}{D}

Looking at this formula we can see that C varies inversely with d            

as D > d it means that C_1 > C_2

                Since the charge is constant

                         U\  \alpha\ \frac{1}{C} i.e U varies inversely with C

           So C_1 > C_2   => U_2 >U_1

This means that the energy of spark would be more for capacitor two compared to capacitor one

The correct option is 2

Which is more dense 10g of shampoo or 10kg of the same shampoo
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
Density is a property of the substance, and doesn't depend on
how much of it you have.

One drop of the shampoo and a supertanker-full of the same
shampoo have the same density.

Solid pressure depends on?​
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The pressure of the solid on the surface depends on the area of contact. The area of contact between the two surfaces. The greater the force or the smaller the area the greater the pressure.
