Answer:

Explanation:

There are three physical properties of matter that involves solid, liquid and gas.

The last statement is correct as it says: boiling and melting points are similar as both changes the physical state of matter. But are different as boiling point changes liquid into gas for example: liquid at high boiling point changes into vapors (gas) and melting point changes solid into liquid for example: ice at high melting point changes into liquid.

Hence, the correct option is "D".

An apple dropped from the branch of a tree hits the ground in 0.5 s. If the acceleration of the apple during its motion is 10 ms

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Given that,

Time = 0.5 s

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

(I). We need to calculate the speed of apple

Using equation of motion

$v=u+at$

Where, v = speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

$v=0+10\times0.5$

$v=5\ m/s$

(III). We need to calculate the height of the branch of the tree from the ground

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value into the formula

$s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times10\times(0.5)^2$

$s=1.25\ m$

(II). We need to calculate the average velocity during 0.5 sec

Using formula of average velocity

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{x_{f}-x_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{0}}$

Where, $x_{f}$ = final position

$x_{i}$ = initial position

Put the value into the formula

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{1.25+0}{0.5}$

$v_{avg}=2.5\ m/s$

Hence, (I). The speed of apple is 5 m/s.

(II). The average velocity during 0.5 sec is 2.5 m/s

(III). The height of the branch of the tree from the ground is 1.25 m.

A ball is dropped from the top of the building.it initially moves at 4.0 m/s after 0.5 seconds it moves at 3.8m/s what force is

Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is

Air resistance

In fact, when a ball is in free fall, there are two forces acting on it:

- its weight (force of gravity), acting downward

- the air resistance, acting upward

The effect of the weight is to accelerate the ball, because its direction is the same as the direction of motion of the ball, while the effect of the air resistance is to slow down the ball, because its direction is opposite to that of the motion.

The right-hand rule predicts the direction of the force on a positively charged object moving in a gravitational field true fals

eimsori [14]

The statement above is FALSE.
The right hand rule is used in physics to predict the direction of the force on a charged object moving in a MAGNETIC FIELD. The right hand rule is used to relate the relationship between the magnetic field and the forces that are exerted on the moving objects in the field. Using the right hand rule, for a positively charged object that is moving in an electric field, the pointer finger will point in the direction the charged object is moving, the middle finger will point in the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic force that is pushing the charged object.

3. Sailors use a capstan (shown below) to raise and lower the anchor. It takes two sailors located 1 meter from the center to tu

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

B. 2 meters.

Explanation:

To rotate the capstan a certain amount of torque is required, and if each sailor applies a force $F$ at a distance $D$ from the center, then for two sailors the total torque will be

$\tau = 2FD\\$ ;

therefore, for one sailor to apply the same torque it must be that the torque $\tau_2$ he applies must be equal to the torque that the two sailors applied:

$FD_2 =2FD$

which gives

$D_2 = 2D$ .

and since $D = 1\:meter$ ,

$\boxed{D_2 = 2\: meters}$

which is choice B.
