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.

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck

Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

$M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})$ where $M_{truck}$ is the mass of the truck, $V_{truck}$ is velocity of the truck, $V_{common}$ is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and $M_{standing}$ is the mass of the standing truck

Making $V_{truck}$ the subject we obtain

$V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}$

Substituting $M_{truck}$ as 25000 Kg, $V_{common}$ as 22.3 m/s, $M_{standing}$ as 2000 Kg we obtain

$V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s$

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s

Answer:

friction help to slow motion in other word it oppose motion, but in a frictionless environment object would move with difficult stopping point.

A person sitting on a pier observes incoming waves that have a sinusoidal form with a distance of 2.5 m between the crests. Of a

Doss [256]

Answer:

Part(a): The frequency is $\bf{0.2~Hz}$ .

Part(b): The speed of the wave is $\bf{0.5~m/s}$ .

Explanation:

Given:

The distance between the crests of the wave, $d = 2.5~m$ .

The time required for the wave to laps against the pier, $t = 5.0~s$

The distance between any two crests of a wave is known as the wavelength of the wave. So the wavelength of the wave is $\lambda = 2.5~m$ .

Also, the time required for the wave for each laps is the time period of oscillation and it is given by $T = 5.0~s$ .

Part(a):

The relation between the frequency and time period is given by

$\nu = \dfrac{1}{T}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)$

Substituting the value of $T$ in equation (1), we have

$\nu &=& \dfrac{1}{5.0~s}\\~~~&=& 0.2~Hz$

Part(b):

The relation between the velocity of a wave to its frequency is given by

$v = \nu \lambda~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(2)$

Substituting the value of $\nu$ and $\lambda$ in equation (2), we have

$v &=& (0.2~Hz)(2.5~m)\\~~~&=& 0.5~m/s$

when charges mutually repel and distribute themselves on the surface of conductors, what becomes of the electric field inside th

AleksAgata [21]

The charges align themselves so that the conductor's internal field is zero.

<h3>What occurs if a charged surface is in close proximity to a conducting surface?</h3>

Induced charges are created on the conductor when a charge is brought close to it. The internal free charges of the conductor, however, are gathered throughout its surface because the electric field inside the conductor must be zero in order to defeat the electric field of induced charges.

<h3>What takes place within a conductor?</h3>

A substance that has a lot of free electrons accessible for the flow of current is said to be a conductor. Since there are numerous electrons, a powerful force of repulsion exists between them as well. As a result, the electrons move to lessen their attraction for one another.
