A heavy object and a light object are dropped from the same height. If we neglect air resistance, which will hit the ground firs

Answer:

None, both objects will hit ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Assuming no air resistance present, and that both objects start from rest, we can apply the following kinematic equation for the vertical displacement:

$\Delta h = \frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2} (1)$

As the left side in (1) is the same for both objects, the right side will be the same also.
Since g is constant close to the surface of the Earth, it's also the same for both objects.
So, the time t must be the same for both objects also.

1.) What statement best explains the type of population growth seen in Belize according to the 2010 age structure diagram?

Art [367]

Answer:

1. Belize has a high birth rate and a low death rate.

2. Belize will have a rapidly growing population over the next twenty years.

Explanation:

Belize has a high birth rate and a low death rate. Belize is in the phase II of the demographic transition model. Their population is growing exponentially. This is due to lowering death rates while the birth rates are still high.

Belize will have a rapidly growing population over the next twenty years. When the age structure diagram has a wider base than the middle or top age groups, this indicates a population that is rapidly growing. Belize is early in the transition model and still has high birth rates. Countries like Belize typically have lower opportunities for education for women of reproductive age, can have high infant mortality, and can have high emigration rates.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

The cup with 0.5L

Explanation:

To know what amount of water you take into account the specific heat of the water. The specific heat of water is:

$c_{water}=4186\frac{J}{kg\°C}$

Thus, 4186 J of energy are needed to icrease the temperature of 1 kg water in 1°C. Then, more grams of water will need more energy.

You have that one cup has 0.5 L and the other one has 750mL = 0.75L

The second cup of water will need more heat because the amount of water contained in the second cup is greater than in the first cup with 0.5L

In a car lift used in a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston that has a circular cross section and a

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a) F₁ = 1.48 x 10³ N

b) P = 1.88*10⁵ Pa

c) The work is equal in both pistons

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F₁) on a small area piston (A₁), then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F₂) can be exerted that is proportional to the area(A₂) of the piston.

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area:

$P=\frac{F}{A}$ Formula (1)

P₁=P₂

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } =\frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }$ Formula (2)

Data

r₁= 5 cm = 0.05 m

r₂= 15 cm = 0.15 m

F₂= 13300N

Area of the pistons (A₁,A₂)

A=π*r² : Area of the circle

A₁ = π*(0.05)²=7.85*10⁻³ m²

A₂= π*(0.15)²= 70.69*10⁻³ m²

a) Force that compressed air must exert to lift a car weighing 13300 N

We replace data in the formula (2)

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } =\frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }$

$F_{1} = \frac{13300*7.85*10^{-3} }{70.69*10^{-3} }$

F₁ = 1.48 x 10³ N

b) Air pressure produced by F₁

We replace data in the formula (1)

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

F₁ = 1.48 x 10³ N , A₁ = 7.85*10⁻³ m²

$P=\frac{1.48*10^{3} }{7.85*10^{-3} }$

P= 1.88*10⁵ Pa

c)The volume of liquid displaced by the small piston is distributed in a thin layer on the large piston, so that the product of the force by the displacement (the work) is equal in both pistons.
