Answer:

In ideal case, when no resistive forces are present then both the balls will reach the ground simultaneously. This is because acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the falling object. i.e. g = GM/R² where G = 6.67×10²³ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth and R is radius of earth.

Let us assume that both are metallic balls. In such case, we have to take into account the magnetic field of earth (which will give rise to eddy currents, and these eddy currents will be more, if surface area will be more) and viscous drag of air ( viscous drag is proportional to radius of falling ball), then bigger ball will take slightly more time than the smaller ball.

What is the atmospheric pressure of the U.S.

rusak2 [61]

When you say atmospheric pressure it is a standard on all places on earth. The value of standard atmospheric pressure is 1 Bar approximately or 14.7 lb per square inch. This pressure is an attribute of free molecules on the air which is not bound the accumulation of the pressure of this in average is the atmospheric pressure.

Which does not affect the gravitational potential energy of an object? mass height speed acceleration due to gravity

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Speed

Explanation:

The answer is speed. It doesn’t affect potential energy because it’s associated with position. But since kinetic energy is associated with motion speed affects it.

Which statements are true for two oppositely charged, isolated parallel plates: C=capacitance, U=stored energy (Q and -Q = charg

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) True. The stored energy (U) is proportional to the electric field strength (E). The electric field strength decreases when a dielectric is introduced hence inserting a dielectric decreases U.

2) False. From the formula $C=\frac{Q}{V}=\frac{Q}{Vd}$ , capacitance is inversely proportional to distance hence if the distance is doubled, capacitance decreases.

3) False. As the distance between the electric field and the object increases, its electric field decreases.

4) False. If a dielectric is inserted, the plates are further separated. Q stays the same.

5) True. The electric field strength decreases when a dielectric is introduced and capacitance is inversely proportional to electric field hence Inserting a dielectric increases C

6) True. If a dielectric is inserted, the plates are further separated. Q stays the same.

7) True. When the distance is doubled, U increases
