Why does a bowling ball and a feather hit the ground at the same time when they are dropped in a vacuum?

Physics
1 answer:
AnnyKZ [126]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

This is because the vacuum chamber removes all the air contained and for this reason, there is no force that opposes the movement of the feather when falling. We must remember that the free fall equation of kinematics is not a function of the mass of an object.

v_{f} =v_{o} +g*t

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

As we can see the mass of the object is not included in the equation.

8 kg cat is running with a velocity of 4 m/s. What is the cat's momentum?
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (8 kg) (4 m/s)² =

 

                                 (4 kg) (16 m²/s²) =

                                  64  (kg-m/s²) (m) = 64 newton-m = 64 joules

A 17926-lb truck enters an emergency exit ramp at a speed of 75.6 ft/s. It travels for 6.4 s before its speed is reduced to 30.3
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

F_{braking}=337299 pdl

Explanation:

Impulse-Momentum relation:

I=\Delta p\\ F_{total}*t=m(v_{f}-v{o})

F_{total}=-F_{braking}+mgsin{\theta}

We solve the equations in order to find the braking force:

F_{braking}=m(v_{o}-v{f})/t+mgsin{\theta}=17926(75.6-30.3)/6.4+17926*32.17*sin21.4=337299 pdl

Hi! I really need help on these questions, it would be great if you can answer them!
Nikitich [7]

1: Equilibrium

[] When two forces are equal in opposite directions, they are in a state of equilibrium

2: Friction

[] It can be hard to sometimes slide a paper across a table, roll a car across the ground, etc etc. This is because of a force called friction which resists motion

3: Displacement

[] Work is only "done" when the object or surroundings are having movement, or in motion, and this creates displacement

4: Force

[] A force is a push/pull in any direction, this is a simple definition so not much can be added.

5: Inertia

[] Inertia is a force that likes to remain unchanged, or without movement

6: Effort

[] "Meg is holding up weight without movement. She hasn't done any work since it did not move, but is tired. Why?" Effort! She still put in effort even though no "work" happened

7: Work

[] Force times displacement is the equation for work

8: Motion

[] Look back to #3, when there is motion we can tell work is done

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

Which of the following does NOT describe the conversion of potential to kinetic energy? Question 12 options:
Marianna [84]

The option “The sum emitting light energy” does not describe the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The potential energy, the object's energy at rest while the kinetic energy is the energy the object in motion. So among the options given, a rocket leaving the Earth's atmosphere consists of conversion of potential energy as the thrusting force to kinetic energy of the movement of the rocket to space.

Similarly the stretching of rubber band is a form of elastic potential energy and when it is released, the band will vibrate which will be the converted kinetic energy.

Also, the avalanche is the falling of ice berg which were once in rest, so the potential energy of the ice berg will get converted to kinetic energy during avalanche.

The option that is the sun emitting light does not convert potential to kinetic energy, instead it converts potential to light energy.

How do you calculate the refractive index of a material using the critical angle? (GCSE Physics)
Helga [31]

Answer:

µ = \frac{1}{sinC}

Explanation:

µ = 1/ sinC

µ -----> refractive index of medium

C ----> critical angle

Hope this helps!
