What do both Dr. Weishampel and Dr. Berger-Wolf use to explore interactions in ecosystems?

Trial 1: Get a textbook and put a sheet of paper on top of it. Fold the paper as needed to keep the paper from sticking over the

siniylev [52]

Answer:

1) the two objects reach the floor at the same time.

2)the book reaches the floor much earlier than the foil

In conclusion, the difference in motion between the two systems subjected to the same acceleration depends on the weight of the body and friction force, when the body has less weight, the friction of the air affects it more

Explanation:

This interesting experiment has the following results

1) first case. Sheet on top of book

In this case the two objects reach the floor at the same time.

This shows that the acceleration in the two objects is the same and we call it the acceleration of gravity.

The speed of the body increases as it goes down linearly.

This occurs because the book that receives air resistance is much heavier, so the resistance has almost no effect on its movement, the sheet does not have the air resistance because it goes down next to the book.

2) second case. Book and sheet next to each other.

In this case the book reaches the floor much earlier than the foil.

This is because the resisting force of the air has almost no effect on the book and its movement is little affected by this force.

In the case of the blade, it has very little weight, therefore as its speed increases, the resistance force of the air rapidly equals the weight of the blade.

W_sheet - fr = 0

so after this, since the acceleration is zero, it goes down at constant speed, this speed is called the terminal velocity.

In conclusion, the difference in motion between the two systems subjected to the same acceleration depends on the weight of the body and friction force, when the body has less weight, the friction of the air affects it more.

A spring has been compressed inside a toy what kind of energy is this

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Elastic Potential Energy

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.

If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta necessarily equal? explain.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

No the given statement is not necessarily true.

Explanation:

We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Similarly the momentum is given by $m\times v$

For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by

$K.E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}$

$K.E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

Similarly For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective momenta are given by

$p_{1}=m_{1}\times v_{1}$

$p_{2}=m_{2}\times v_{2}$

Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have

$\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}\\\\(m_{1}v_{1})\times v_{1}=(m_{2}v_{2})\times v_{2}\\\\p_{1}\times v_{1}=p_{2}\times v_{2}\\\\\therefore \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}............(i)$

Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.
