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.

A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 34 m/s when a 60
german

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of glider with person = 680 kg

v = Velocity of glider with person = 34 m/s

m_1 = Mass of glider without person = 680-60 kg

v_1 = Gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go

m_2 = Mass of person = 60 kg

v_2 = Velcotiy of person = 34 m/s

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=mv\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{mv-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{680\times 34-60\times 34}{680-60}\\\Rightarrow v_1=34\ m/s

The gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go is 34 m/s

Which is present when iodine changes from brown to blue or purple?
vladimir1956 [14]


If iodine is added to a starch solution, they react with each other and the iodine  darkens to an almost pitch black.

however, if iodine is added to a solution containing no starch, it will show up only as an extremely pale brown. almost colorless and hardly visible.

when following the changes in some inorganic oxidation reduction reactions, iodine may be used as an indicator to follow the changes of iodide ion and iodine element. soluble starch solution is added. only iodine element in the presence of iodide ion will give the characteristic blue black color. neither iodine element alone nor iodide ions alone will give the color result.

hope this answer really helps your question :)
