The velocity (in m/s) of a free-falling object as a function of the height from which it is dropped is

slava [35]3 years ago

Answer:

Falling objects form an interesting class of motion problems. For example, we can estimate the depth of a vertical mine shaft by dropping a rock into it and listening for the rock to hit the bottom. By applying the kinematics developed so far to falling objects, we can examine some interesting situations and learn much about gravity in the process.

The most remarkable and unexpected fact about falling objects is that, if air resistance and friction are negligible, then in a given location all objects fall toward the center of Earth with the same constant acceleration, independent of their mass. This experimentally determined fact is unexpected because we are so accustomed to the effects of air resistance and friction that we expect light objects to fall slower than heavy ones.

<h3>A hammer and a feather will fall with the same constant acceleration if air resistance is considered negligible. This is a general characteristic of gravity not unique to Earth, as astronaut David R. Scott demonstrated on the Moon in 1971, where the acceleration due to gravity is only 1.67 m/s^2.</h3>

In the real world, air resistance can cause a lighter object to fall slower than a heavier object of the same size. A tennis ball will reach the ground after a hard baseball is dropped at the same time. (It might be difficult to observe the difference if the height is not large.) Air resistance opposes the motion of an object through the air, while friction between objects, such as between clothes and a laundry chute or between a stone and a pool into which it is dropped, also opposes motion between them. For the ideal situations of these first few chapters, an object falling without air resistance or friction is defined to be in free-fall.

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

The dark bands on the wall are from ______________ interference. and i will give brainlyest
Fittoniya [83]
Light can be seen as an electromagnetic wave.
What happens when two waves, with the same frequency, superpose is called interference.

If at a certain point two waves arrive both with a crest, we have constructive interference and the amplitudes sum up, reaching the maximum value, resulting in bright spots.

If at a certain point one of the waves arrives with a crest and the other wave arrives with a trough, we have destructive interference, and the two amplitudes cancel out, resulting in dark spots.

Therefore, t<span>he dark bands on the wall are from destructive interference.</span>

What is the average speed of a kangaroo that hops 60 m in 5 s ?
jok3333 [9.3K]
The formula for average speed is
v_{avg}= \frac{total distance}{total time}
So we can just substitute our data.
v_{avg}= \frac{60}{5}=12 \frac{m}{s} - its the result

As in the video, we apply a charge + to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. This time, we also apply a charge – to the
horrorfan [7]

Note: Although the video is not provided in this question, it is not needed to answer the question.

Answer:

B) It does not deflect at all

Explanation:

Since both half shells contain opposite charges, the two shells become electrically neutral when they are brought together and the electroscope discharges. On separating the two half shells again, the needle does not deflect because the half shells have now lost their charges to become neutral.

As the temperature of a blackbody increases, what happens to the peak wavelength of the light it radiates
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The peak wavelength of the light it irradiates decreases

Explanation:

As the temperature of a blackbody increase, the peak wavelength of the light it radiates decreases, this follows Wien's Law.

A blackbody is an ideal substance that emits all frequencies of light and also has the ability to absorb them as well.

Wiens displacement law, explains that the position of the peak wavelength of the thermal radiation emitted by bodies can change with temperature, and as the temperature increases beyond a certain point, the wavelength begins to reduce. This often changes the colour of the light emitted from heated objects.
