Kamila [148]3 years ago

The number of pulse beats elapsed before the rubber ball hits the ground can be obtained when you carry out the experiment yourself. However, the pulse beat method of timing used by Galileo is not reliable because it varies from time to time.

Galileo was interested in studying how objects fall. His discovery was that all objects had the same acceleration irrespective of their mass. This observation was in direct contrast to Aristotle's assertion that the velocity of objects is proportional to their mass.

However, he used his pulse beats as timer during the experiment. This method is unreliable because the pulse beats of a person changes depending on the person's state of mind. A stop clock could have been a more reliable timer than pulse beats.

Describe how an inclined plane increases the force without changing the amount of work done
yawa3891 [41]

An inclined plane decreases the amount of force needed to move an object but increases the distance the onject needs to be moved. Since work = distance x force, whe amount of work stays the same.

What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
Georgia [21]
If it's a mechanical wave, then its speed depends on the physical characteristics of the medium.

If it's an electromagnetic wave, then its speed depends on the
electrical characteristics of the medium.

Either way, the properties of the medium determine the wave speed.
You want to change the speed ?  You have to change the properties
of the medium.

During a circus performance, a 72-kg humancannonball is shot out of an 18-m-long cannon. If thehuman cannonball spends 0.95 s in
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

2872.8 N

Explanation:

We have the following information

m =n72kg

Δy = 18m

t = 0.95s.

From here we use the equation

Δy=1/2at2 in order to solve for the acceleration.

So a

=( 2x 18m)/(0.95s²)

= 36/0.9025

= 39.9m/s2.

From there we use the equation

F = ma

F=(72kg) x (39.9)

= 2872.8N.

2872.8N is the average net force exerted on him in the barrel of the cannon.

Thank you!
