How fast would a rock fall in a vacuum? Based on this, why would Aristotle say that there could be no such thing as a vacuum?

Answer:

In real measurements, the acceleration that is measured is always less than the acceleration of gravity, therefore there must be a force that opposes the movement, which is why Aristotle says that vacuum stenos

Explanation:

When a rock starts the vacuum, there are no friction forces that make its movement, therefore, if close to the Earth, the rock has an acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity.

In real measurements, the acceleration that is measured is always less than the acceleration of gravity, therefore there must be a force that opposes the movement, which is why Aristotle says that vacuum stenos

The eye of the Atlantic giant squid has a diameter of 3.50 × 10^2 mm. If the eye
Lunna [17]

Answer:

   q = 224 mm,   h ’= - 98 mm, real imagen

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the constructor equation

        \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

       

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

In a mirror the focal length is

        f = R / 2

indicate us radius of curvature is equal to the diameter of the eye

       R = 3,50  10² mm

       f = 3.50 10² /2 = 1.75 10² mm

they also say that the distance to the object is p = 0.800 10³ mm

        1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / p

        1 / q = 1 / 175 - 1 /800

        1 / q = 0.004464

         q = 224 mm

to calculate the size let's use the magnification ratio

          m = \frac{h'}{h} = - \frac{q}{p}

          h '= - \frac{q}{p} \ h

          h ’= - 224 350 / 800

          h ’= - 98 mm

in concave mirrors the image is real.

If an all electric house uses 2400 kWh in a month, what will the amount of the bill for electricity be at a rate of 9.5 cents pe
alexira [117]

Answer:

<h2>$228</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

Total electricity consumption = 2400 kWh

Rate of consumption = 9.5 cent per kWh

converting cent to dollar we have. 9.5/100= $0.095

hence the bill is 2400*0.095= $228

a street light is mounted at the top of a 15 foot pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole wit a speed of 7 ft/s along a s
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

16.3 ft/s

Explanation:

Let d=distance

and

x = length of shadow.

Therfore,

x=(d + x)

 = 6/15

So,

    15x = 6x + 6d

     9x = 6d.

x = (2/3)d.

As we know that:

dx=dt

   = (2/3) (d/dt) 

Also,

Given:

d(d)=dt

     = 7 ft/s

Thus,

d(d + x)=dt

           = (7/3)d (d/dt)

Substitute, d= 7  

d(d + x) = 49/3 ft/s.

Hence,

d(d + x) = 16.3 ft/s.
