Answer:

In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both objects are dropped from the same height and at the same time, the heavier object should hit the ground before the lighter one.

The figure shows a 100-kg block being released from rest from a height of 1.0 m. It then takes it 0.90 s to reach the floor. Wha

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The mass of the another block is 60 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block M= 100 kg

Height = 1.0 m

Time = 0.90 s

Let the mass of the other block is m.

We need to calculate the acceleration of each block

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Put the value into the formula

$1.0=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times(0.90)^2$

$a=\dfrac{2\times1.0}{(0.90)^2}$

$a=2.46\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the mass of the other block

Using newton's second law

The net force of the block M

$Ma=Mg-T$

$T=Mg-Ma$ ....(I)

The net force of the block m

$ma=T-mg$

Put the value of T from equation (I)

$ma=Mg-Ma-mg$

$m(a+g)=M(g-a)$

$m=\dfrac{M(g-a)}{(a+g)}$

Put the value into the formula

$m=\dfrac{100(9.8-2.46)}{2.46+9.8}$

$m=59.8\ \approx60\ kg$

Hence, The mass of the another block is 60 kg.

What is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 400Hz and a wavelength of 0.5 meters

iren2701 [21]

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Let’s take for instance the case of a wave with a frequency of 400 Hz going through a material at a speed of .5 m/s. The wavelength result is 12 m. Wave velocity (m/s) = Frequency (Hz) x Wavelength (m)

How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?

Arisa [49]

Earth's protective magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most solar particles, but in the absence of atmospheric layer, Polyethylene is a good shielding material because it has high hydrogen content, and hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing and dispersing radiation.

The Earth’s atmospheres are kept in place by gravity. The air near the ground is pulled on by gravity and compressed by the air higher in the sky. This causes the air near the ground to be denser and creating different layers with different qualities in which are the atmosphere.

Hope that helps ^^
