if we ignore air resistance the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it accelerate why?​

Physics
1 answer:
quester [9]3 years ago

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on an object is independent of the mass of the object. This is so because, the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth.

As a result of this, all objects are accelerated to the same extent and should reach the ground at the same time when released from a height as long as other forces other than gravity are not at work.

How do solar panels create electricity
xenn [34]

Answer:

They create electricity from the sun's  rays

Explanation:

By the use of "solar cells" or "solar panel", you can trap solar energy in silicon/germanium rods, then you can convert in into electricity too. Solar powered panels convert the sun's rays into electricity by exciting electrons in silicon cells using the photons of light from the sun. This electricity can then be used to supply renewable energy to your home or business.

A person lowers a bucket into a well by turning the hand crank, as the drawing illustrates. The crank handle moves with a consta
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

0.453 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the handle has diameter of 0.4 m while inner part diameter is 0.1 m then the circumference of outer part is \pi d_h where d is diameter and subscript h denote handle. By substituting 0.4 for the handle's diameter then cirxumference of outer part is \pi\times 0.4\approx 1.256 m

The rate of rotation will then be 1.81/1.256=1.441 rev/s

Similarly, circumference of inner part will be \pi d_i where subscript i represent inner. Substituting 0.1 for inner diameter then

\pi\times 0.1\approx 0.3142 m

The rate of rotation found for outer handle applies for inner hence speed will be 0.3142*1.441=0.453 m/s

A car drives past a pole at 40km/hr. Describe the motion from the point of view of a) the car, and b) the pole. Thanks in advanc
ki77a [65]
I was going to beg off until tomorrow, but this one is nothing like those others.
Why, at only 40km/hr, we can ignore any relativistic correction, and just go with Newton.

To put a finer point on it, let's give the car a direction.  Say it's driving North.

a).  From the point of view of the car, its driver, and passengers if any,
the pole moves past them, heading south, at 40 km/hour .

b).  From the point of view of the pole, and any bugs or birds that may be
sitting on it at the moment, the car and its contents whiz past them, heading
north, at 40 km/hour.

c).  A train, steaming North at 80 km/hour on a track that exactly parallels
the road, overtakes and passes the car at just about the same time as
the drama in (a) and (b) above is unfolding.

The rail motorman, fireman, and conductor all agree on what they have
seen. From their point of view, they see the car moving south at 40 km/hr,
and the pole moving south at 80 km/hr.

Now follow me here . . .

The car and the pole are both seen to be moving south.  BUT ... Since the
pole is moving south faster than the car is, it easily overtakes the car, and
passes it . . . going south.

That's what everybody on the train sees.

==============================================

Finally ... since you posed this question as having something to do with your
fixation on Relativity, there's one more question that needs to be considered
before we can put this whole thing away:

You glibly stated in the question that the car is driving along at 40 km/hour ...
AS IF we didn't need to know with respect to what, or in whose reference frame.
Now I ask you ... was that sloppy or what ? ! ? 

Of course, I came along later and did the same thing with the train, but I am
not here to make fun of myself !  Only of others.

The point is . . . the whole purpose of this question, obviously, is to get the student accustomed to the concept that speed has no meaning in and of itself, only relative to something else.  And if the given speed of the car ...40 km/hour ... was measured relative to anything else but the ground on which it drove, as we assumed it was, then all of the answers in (a) and (b) could have been different.

And now I believe that I have adequately milked this one for 50 points worth.

To view an interactive solution to a problem that is similar to this one, select Interactive Solution 7.24. A 0.0129-kg bullet i
ipn [44]

Answer:

t=0.42s

Explanation:

Here you have an inelastic collision. By the conservation of the momentum you have:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

m1: mass of the bullet

m2: wooden block mass

v1: velocity of the bullet

v2: velocity of the wooden block

v: velocity of bullet and wooden block after the collision.

By noticing that after the collision, both objects reach the same height from where the wooden block was dropped, you can assume that v is equal to the negative of v2. In other words:

m_1(-v_1)+m_2v_2=(m1+m2)(-v2)

Where you assumed that the negative direction is upward. By replacing and doing v2 the subject of the formula you get:

-(0.0129kg)(767m/s)+(1.17kg)v_2=(1.1829kg)(-v_2)\\\\v_2=4.20m/s

Now, with this information you can use the equation for the final speed of an accelerated motion and doing t the subject of the formula. IN other words:

v_2=v_o+gt\\\\t=\frac{v_2-v_o}{g}=\frac{4.2m/s-0m/s}{9.8m/s^2}=0.42s

hence, the time is t=0.42 s
