Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?

Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.

So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Total time= 2.56 s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance = 2.4\times 10^5\ miles

So distance = 386242560 m

Velocity of light

C= 3\times 10^8\ m/s

We know that

Distance = velocity x time

Now by putting then values

time=\frac{386242560}{3\times 10^8}

t=1.28 s

So the total time = 2 x 1.28

total time= 2.56 s

A car with a mass of 1,000 kg moving with an initial velocity of 8 m/s is brought to rest by colliding with a truck. The collisi
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

-40,000 N

Explanation:

First, use the kinematics equation v(f) = v(i) + at.  Final velocity is 0, initial is 8, and time is 0.2 seconds.  Solving for a, you get -40 m/s^2.  Then, use Newton’s second law, F=ma, to find the force.  F = (1000)(-40) = -40,000 N.

In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop is at rest between two large plates separated by 1.3 cm when the potential differe
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Mass of the oil drop, m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

Explanation:

Potential difference between the plates, V = 400 V

Separation between plates, d = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, we need to find the mass of the oil drop. It can be calculated by equation electric force and the gravitational force as :

qE=mg

m=\dfrac{qE}{g}

q=6e, e is the charge on electron

E is the electric field, E=\dfrac{V}{d}=\dfrac{400}{0.013}=30769.23\ V/m

m=\dfrac{6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 30769.23}{9.8}

m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

So, the mass of the oil drop is 3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
