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.

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly over a time of 18 seconds for a distance of 390 m. Determine the acceleration o
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a=2.4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial speed of a car, u = 0

Time, t = 18 s

Distance, d = 390 m

We need to find the acceleration of the car. Let it is a. Using the second equation of motion to find it.

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

or

d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\a=\dfrac{2d}{t^2}\\\\a=\dfrac{2\times 390}{(18)^2}\\\\a=2.4\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is 2.4\ m/s^2.

An airplane takes off from Dallas Texas to fly to new york city traveling ne for 2,760 km the Same plane returns that day to Dal
Kipish [7]
<h3>Answer</h3>

1104 km/hour

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Distance between Dallas Texas to New York = 2760 km

Time the plane took from Dallas to New York = 2 hours

Time the plane took from New York back to Dallas = 2.5 hours

Formula to use

<h3>distance = speed x time </h3>

Speed the plane took from Dallas to New York

2760 = 2 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2

          = 1380 km/hour

Speed the plane took from New York to Dallas (ROUND TRIP)

2760 = 2.5 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2.5

           = 1104 km/hour

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

KE₂ = 4KE₁

Explanation:

KE₁ = ½mv₁²
