Drop a paper a piece of thermocol and a piece of plastic from a height of 10 to 15 feet not the time for each object to hit the

ground why does paper take more time than thermocol and thermocol more than the plastic piece make the paper to fell down in such a way that it should hit the ground before all of them and how does it happen

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of gravitation , all objects should take same time to fall from same height , but it does not happen when we see a paper , a thermocol and a plastic paper to fall .

It happens due to air resistance . In case of paper , this is most pronounced , so it falls slowest . In case of plastic paper , the resistance is least so it falls fastest .

If we squeeze the piece of paper to make a lump so that it does not remain flat , it will fall the fastest , because in this case the air resistance on it becomes the least .

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra
lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m_{1}=5.8 kg is the mass of the bowling ball

V_{1}=4.34 m/s is the velocity of the bowling ball

m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg is the mass of the ping-pong ball

V_{2} is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum p_{1} of the bowling ball is:

p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1} (1)

p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)  

p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s (2)

And the momentum p_{2} of the ping-pong ball is:

p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2} (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

p_{1}=p_{2} (4)

m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2} (5)

Isolating V_{2}:

V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}} (6)

V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg} (7)

Finally:

V_{2}=11369.46 m/s

What are two ways in which the suns energy can be captured and used?
My name is Ann [436]

The oldest way ... the way we've been using as long as we've been
walking on the Earth ... has been to use plants.  Plants sit out in the
sun all day, capturing its energy and using it to make chemical compounds. 
Then we come along, cut the plants down, and eat them.  Our bodies
rip the chemical compounds apart and suck the solar energy out of them,
and then we use the energy to walk around, sing, and play video games.  

Another way to capture the sun's energy is to build a dam across a creek
or a river, so that the water can't flow past it.  You see, it was the sun's
energy that evaporated the water from the ocean and lifted it high into
the sky, giving it a lot of potential energy.  The rain falls on high ground,
up in the mountains, so the water still has most of that potential energy
as it drizzles down the river to the ocean.  If we catch it on its way, we
can use some of that potential energy to turn wheels, grind our grain,
turn our hydroelectric turbines to get electrical energy ... all kinds of jobs. 

A modern, recent new way to capture some of the sun's energy is to use
photovoltaic cells.  Those are the flat blue things that you see on roofs
everywhere.  When the sun shines on them, they convert some of its
energy into electrical energy.  We use some of what they produce, and
we store the rest in giant batteries, to use when the sun is not there.

What is the average de Broglie wavelength of oxygen molecules in air at a temperature of 27°C? Use the results of the kinetic th
asambeis [7]

Answer:

\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m

Explanation:

Average velocity of oxygen molecule at given temperature is

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

now we have

M = 32 g/mol = 0.032 kg/mol

T = 27 degree C = 300 K

now we have

v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.31)(300)}{0.032}

v_{rms} = 483.4 m/s

now for de Broglie wavelength we know that

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}

\lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{(5.31\times 10^{-26})(483.4)}

\lambda = 2.57 \times 10^{-11} m
