Mr. White drops a bowling ball and a feather from the top of the Washington Monument.
a) Which will hit the ground first? Why?
b) If Mr. White were to repeat this experiment inside a vacuum chamber, which would hit the ground first? Why?
If you can provide some explanation I would greatly appreciate it! :)
Answer:
A) The bowling ball will hit the ground first. It is heavier, which has greater density, allowing it to reach the ground first.
B) Feather. If you want to be able to blow a bowling ball in a vaccum cleaner, it's almost impossible since it's very heavy. If it's a feather, it would be easier as it's light and the air inside it is able to force it down.
Note: I haven't learnt physics at all yet, this is just an attempt. I'm in 7th grade currently and I will probably be taking physics sometime in 9th grade.
Cyclist 1 pedals 40 kilometers east in 2 hours. Cyclist 2 pedals 10 kilometers west in half an hour. Based on this information, which statement about cyclists is correct?
Answer:
See Explanation
Explanation:
Given
Cyclist 1:
[tex]Distance = 40km[/tex]
[tex]Time = 2hr[/tex]
[tex]Direction = East[/tex]
Cyclist 2:
[tex]Distance = 10km[/tex]
[tex]Time = 0.5hr[/tex]
[tex]Direction = West[/tex]
The question requires options. Since none is given, I'll answer on a general term.
First, calculate the speed of both cyclists
[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Cyclist 1:
[tex]Distance = 40km[/tex]
[tex]Time = 2hr[/tex]
[tex]Speed = \frac{40km}{2hr}[/tex]
[tex]Speed = 20km/hr[/tex]
Cyclist 2:
[tex]Distance = 10km[/tex]
[tex]Time = 0.5hr[/tex]
[tex]Speed = \frac{10km}{0.5hr}[/tex]
[tex]Speed = 20km/hr[/tex]
The following can be deduced from above:
Both cyclists travel at the same speed of 20km/hrBoth cyclists travel in opposite directions

The rebounder in basketball has a vertical leap (that is, the vertical movement of a fixed point on their body) of 106 cm .
Answer:
[tex]u = 4.56m/s[/tex]
[tex]T = 0.94s[/tex]
Explanation:
See comment for complete question
Given
[tex]h = 106cm[/tex] --- Height
Solving (a): The initial speed
To do this, we make use of the third equation of motion
[tex]v^2=u^2+2ah[/tex]
In this case:
[tex]v = 0m/s[/tex] --- final velocity at the maximum height
[tex]a = -g = -9.8m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]h = 106cm[/tex]
Convert height to metres
[tex]h = 1.06m[/tex]
Substitute these values in [tex]v^2=u^2+2ah[/tex]
[tex]0^2 = u^2 +2 *(-9.8) * 1.06[/tex]
[tex]0^2 = u^2 -20.776[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]u^2 =20.776[/tex]
Take the positive square root of both sides
[tex]u =\sqrt{20.776[/tex]
[tex]u = 4.55806976691[/tex]
[tex]u = 4.56m/s[/tex] --- approximated
Hence, the initial velocity is 4.56m/s
Solving (b): Time spent in the air.
This will be solved using the first equation of motion.
[tex]v = u + at[/tex]
Where:
[tex]v = 0m/s[/tex] --- final velocity at the maximum height
[tex]a = -g = -9.8m/s^2[/tex]
[tex]u = 4.56m/s[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]0 = 4.56 - 9.8t[/tex]
Collect Like Terms
[tex]9.8t = 4.56[/tex]
Make t the subject
[tex]t = \frac{4.56}{9.8}[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.46530612244[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.47s[/tex] --- approximated
The above is the time it reaches the maximum height.
The time it stays in the air is:
[tex]T = 2t[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]T = 2*0.47s[/tex]
[tex]T = 0.94s[/tex]

Explanation:
A 400 hp engine in a 1,600 kg car applies maximum force for 2 seconds to accelerate the car onto the
interstate. If the car moves at 8 m/s before accelerating, what is its speed after the 2 seconds of acceleration?
Answer:
I will assume that “maximum force” implies the constant application of power P = 400 hp (international) to accelerating the vehicle. The force will therefore vary with speed as the vehicle accelerates. I will also assume that all engine energy goes into accelerating the vehicle, rather than rotating elements like its wheels.
In this case the 400 hp (equivalent to 298,280 watts) is applied for time t = 2 seconds. Therefore the kinetic energy of the vehicle is increased by:
ΔKE=Pt=(298,280)(2)=596,560 joules.
The initial kinetic energy is:
KEinitial=12mv2
=(0.5)(1600)(82)=51,200 joules.
Therefore final kinetic energy is:
KEfinal=KEinitial+ΔKE
=51,200+596,560
=647,760 joules
Therefore final vehicle velocity can be found:
KEfinal=12mv2
v=2KEfinalm−−−−−−−−√
=(2)(647,760)1600−−−−−−−−−−−√
= 28.455 m/s

can you please explain hooks law?
Explanation:
Hooke's law is a law of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, Fₛ = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring, and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

Example of kinetic to potential ? And how the energy is changing forms???? Please help
Answer:
A ball when from moving to stoping
Explanation:
Kinetic = energy of motion
Potential = energy stored
When you roll a ball on the ground, it gains kinetic energy, but then the ball starts to slow down until it stops and it remains at rest which means it's at potential energy. It went from moving (kinetic) to stoping (potential)

the process through which electrons are attracted to or repelled by an external electric field, causing the electrons to move within their own atoms
Answer:
Polarisation
Explanation:
When the electric field of an atom distorts then the cloud of negative charges move away from the clouds of positive charges. This movement of clouds in opposite direction causes separation of charges and and causes one side positive and one side negative. This process is known as polarisation

As altitude increases in the troposphere and stratosphere, the air temperature does what?
A. decreases in the troposphere and increases in the stratosphere.
B. Decreases in both places.
C. Increases in the troposphere and decreases in the stratosphere.
D. Increases in both places
Answer:
1
Explanation:
The correct answer is decreases in the troposphere and increases in the stratosphere.
How does altitude affect the troposphere?For this reason, the density of gases decreases as the distance from Earth's surface increases. Put another way, air pressure (i.e., density) decreases as altitude increases.
How can altitude affect the temperature of a place?The temperature of a place decreases with increasing altitude from the earth's surface.

Explanation:
A car accelerates in the +x direction from rest with a constant acceleration of a1 = 1.51 m/s2 for t1 = 20 s. At that point the driver notices a tree limb that has fallen on the road and brakes hard for t2 = 5 s with a constant acceleration of a2 = -5.03 m/s2. Write an expression for the car's speed just before braking.
Answer:
v = 1.51t and v = 30.2 m/s just before braking
Explanation:
Using v = u + at where u = initial velocity of car = 0 m/s (since it starts from rest), a = a1 = acceleration before braking = 1.51 m/s², t = t1 = time before braking = 20s and v = speed of car before braking.
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
v = u + at
v = 0 m/s + 1.51 m/s²t
v = 1.51t and its value after 20 s is
v = 1.51 × 20
v = 30.2 m/s which is the value just before braking.
in what way is Speed related to Kinetic Energy?
Answer:
It turns out that an object's kinetic energy increases as the square of its speed

Calculate the change in gravitational potential energy
when a 1.5Kg box falls from a 2m shelf. Take
g=10N/Kg.
Answer:
30J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of box = 1.5kg
Height = 2m
Acceleration due to gravity = 10N/kg
Unknown:
Change in gravitational potential energy = ?
Solution:
The change in gravitational potential energy is given as:
ΔGPE = mgh
m is the mass
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height
ΔGPE = 1.5 x 10 x 2 = 30J
Think about the types of forces holding the atoms together in different chemicals. Are there any patterns that can be drawn from the data? Explain.
Hello. You did not enter the data to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to have an exact answer. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
The forces that hold the elements together are called intermolecular forces. They are formed by covalent bonds between the molecules and can be called: dipole-induced (occurs between nonpolar molecules that have a negative pole and a positive pole) and dipole-dipole (occurs between polar moileculas, except when hydrogen is present).
