A heavy object falls with the acceleration as a light object during free fall. Why?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

A heavy object falls with the acceleration as a light object during free fall because of acceleration due to gravity.

Explanation:

A motion can be termed as free fall when the object is completely under the influence of gravity. So in this case, no other force will be acting on the object other than the gravitational force. As the gravity influences the object in free fall, the acceleration attained by any object in free fall is same. And this acceleration is termed as acceleration due to gravity. Since, the gravity gives the acceleration to every object experiencing free fall, then the acceleration should be constant. Thus, a heavy object and a light object will have same acceleration during free fall.

A helicopter’s speed increases from 30 m/s to 40 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of this helicopter? m/s2

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration of this helicopter is 2 m/s2

Explanation:

In this question the velocity changes from 30 m/sto 40 m/s in 5 seconds.

Initial velocity u= 30m/s

Final velocity u= 40m/s

Time t= 5s

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. It is given by the equation

a= (v-u)/(t)

      =(40-30)/(5)

= (10)/(5)  

= 2 m/s2

All moving bodies aren’t necessarily accelerated. To be identified as accelerating, a body should have its velocity changing. Thus a body in uniform motion is not accelerating since its velocity is constant.

Some dog owners use a whistle in training that emits a very high-pitched noise that only dogs are able to hear. Is the dog whistle manipulating amplitude or frequency?

Answers

The dog whistle is manipulating frequency. This is further explained below. Option B is correct.

What is a high-pitched noise?

The sound of a high-pitched sound is harsh and has a high pitch. Examples are:

  • On the blackboard.
  • The school bell rings.
  • Whistle.
  • The sound of rubber sneakers squeaking on a basketball court.

In conclusion, for a high pitch, we alter the frequency.

Blocks with masses of 3.0 kg, 4.0 kg, and 5.0 kg are lined up in a row on a frictionless table. All three are pushed forward by a 16 N force applied to the 3.0 kg block. How much force does the 4.0 kg block exert on the 5.0 kg block?

Answers

Answer:

2019?

Explanation:

Answer:

6.7 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the 4.0 kg block on the 5.0 kg block will be 6.7

Fnet = 16 N (since it is applied only to the 3.0 kg block)

Total mass of the system, m = 3.0 kg + 4.0 kg + 5.0 kg = 12.0 kg

Fnet = ma16 = 12aSolving for a,a = 16/12 = 4/3 m/s²

m is the mass of the 5.0 kg block and a is the acceleration of the system.F = 5.0 kg x 4/3 m/s² = 6.666 N

Therefore, the force exerted by the 4.0 kg block on the 5.0 kg block is 6.7 N.

6. Why do the minerals graphite and diamond look different even though they’re made from the same element, carbon (C)?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Atomic mass of silver:

Atomic mass of an atom is the sum of all the subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons in the atom.

We know that electrons have very negligible mass and the bulk of the mass of an atom is concentrated in the small nucleus which contains protons and neutrons.

Therefore, we can calculate the atomic mass of such element such as Silver by adding the number of Protons and Neutrons together.

Atomic mass = Proton + Neutron

2. Number of electrons = 17

Number of protons = 17

If this atom of chlorine gains an electron more, the number of protons increases by 1 and we then have 18 electrons.

For this atom, it becomes negatively charged as the number of electrons is now greater than that of protons by 1.

3. An atom is the smallest unit of matter that can take part in chemical reaction e.g Na, K etc.

A molecule is a chemical combination of atoms.

Atoms - - - - molecules - - - - matter

4. Protons are positively charged particles in an atom

Neutrons are neutrally charged ie 0 charge

Electrons are negatively charged particles on an atom.

5. We have two elements:

Lithium and fluorine

For chemical combination to occur, there must be gain or loss of electron in such a way that the atom mimics group 8 elements.

Lithium has a configuration of 2,1

It has a valency of 1

The loss of one electron in its outermost shell makes it looks like an helium atom, a noble gas.

Flouirne has a configuration of 2,7

It would require an electron to complete its octet.

The combination Li and F would result into a loss of an electron by Li and it would become psotively charged

Flourine would gain the electron and becomes a posively charged atom.

The compound resulting is LiF: Lithium Fluoride

There is thus a net transfer of electrons. This is an electrovalent bond being created.

6. Graphite and diamond are allotropes of carbon.

Graphite is made up of carbon atoms that are arranged layers on top of one another. They look like sheet.

The carbon atoms on diamond are crosslinked to one another. Each atom bonded to one another in a cubic form.

Answer:

To determine the atomic mass of silver, or any other element, add the number of protons and the number of neutrons together.

If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it will have an unequal number of protons and electrons, which makes it an ion. Because electrons are negatively charged, the ion will be negatively charged, also called an anion.

An atom is the smallest component of an element that retains all of the chemical properties of that element. A molecule is two or more atoms that have bonded together.

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons are found in the area surrounding the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons have no charge.

Because the lithium atom loses a negatively charged electron, it becomes a positively charged ion, or cation. Because the fluorine gains a negatively charged electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion, or anion. A bond between an anion and a cation is an ionic bond.

Graphite and diamond look different because the carbon atoms bond to one another in different ways in the two minerals. This gives each mineral a unique lattice structure and, as a result, a different physical appearance.
