Answer:

Hey

Your answer would be D (Aristotle stated that heavy objects fall faster than light objects). He thought be comparing a feather falling to a rock falling that you could see that heavier objects fall faster than light ones. of course now we know that all objects fall at the same speed and that weight does not affect that. only air drag affects how fast objects fall.

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.

$P = kT$

<em>where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.</em>

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling, which is 3.50 mm above the point where the putty leaves your hand. The

Answer: $4.65\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given

Distance putty has to travel is 3.5 m

The initial speed of putty is 9.50 m/s

Using equation of motion to determine the velocity of putty just before it hits ceiling

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$\Rightarrow v^2-(9.5)^2=2(-9.8)(3.5)\\\\\Rightarrow v^2=9.5^2-68.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{90.25-68.6}\\\Rightarrow v=4.65\ m/s$

So, the velocity of putty just before hitting is $4.65\ m/s$

Define kinetic energy and derive its relation.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy that it possessed due to its motion. Kinetic energy can be defined as the work needed to accelerate an object of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Kinetic energy depends upon the velocity and the mass of the body.
