what is the effect of gravity on a falling object? write the conclusion obtained from the coin and feather experiment ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Pick something up with your hand and drop it. When you release it from your hand, its speed is zero. On the way down its speed increases. The longer it falls the faster it travels. Sounds like acceleration to me.

But acceleration is more than just increasing speed. Pick up this same object and toss it vertically into the air. On the way up its speed will decrease until it stops and reverses direction. Decreasing speed is also considered acceleration.

But acceleration is more than just changing speed. Pick up your battered object and launch it one last time. This time throw it horizontally and notice how its horizontal velocity gradually becomes more and more vertical. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time and velocity is a vector quantity, this change in direction is also considered acceleration.

In each of these examples the acceleration was the result of gravity. Your object was accelerating because gravity was pulling it down. Even the object tossed straight up is falling — and it begins falling the minute it leaves your hand. If it wasn't, it would have continued moving away from you in a straight line. This is the acceleration due to gravity.

In this initial experiment the bowling ball drops straight to the ground whereas the feathers float, owing to air resistance.

He alludes to the earlier experiment by Galileo that tested the same hypothesis.

"Galileo’s experiment was simple," he explains. "He took a heavy object, and a light one, and dropped them at the same time to see which fell fastest."

Although Galileo’s experiment proved two similarly shaped objects would fall at the same speed despite being different weights, he didn’t have access to a vacuum chamber in the 17th Century to conduct Professor Cox's more extravagant experiment.

Professor Cox also used the bowling ball and feather to prove a hypothesis put forward by Albert Einstein.

His Special Theory of Relativity argued that items would not be falling but standing still due to lack of force acting on them.

"Isaac Newton would say that the ball and the feather fall because there’s a force pulling them down: gravity,’ Professor Cox said.

"But Einstein imagined the scene very differently.

"The “happiest thought of his life” [as Einstein called it] was this; the reason the bowling ball and the feather fall together is because they’re not falling.

"They’re standing still. There is no force acting on them at all.

"He reasoned that if you couldn’t see the background, there’d be no way of knowing that the ball and the feathers were being accelerated towards the Earth.

"So he concluded they weren’t."

The tweaking of Newton’s earlier theory enabled Einstein to more accurately define his own theory, which regards the relationship between space and time.

Why does a ship float on water when it weighs about 100tones and why a stone of less than a kg sinks

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Let me answer this in a simple way, since the density of stone is greater than that of water, the stone sinks as the weight of the stone is greater than the weight of water displaced by it. But the ship is designed in such a way that the relative density of the ship always becomes less than that of water. Therefore, the weight of the water displaced becomes equal to the total weight of the ship and thus it floats.

There are many other ways to explain this but this should give you the general idea.

Robin fired a bullet of mass 100 gm from a gun of mass 5 kg. The bullet leaves the gun with a speed of 400 m/s. After penetrating 4 cm of a plank of 10 cm, the bullet loses one third of its initial velocity.
a. Calculate the backward velocity of the gun?
b. Can the bullet penetrate the plank of the wood completely? Explain mathematically.

please help

Answers

(a) The recoil or backward velocity of the gun is 8 m/s.

(b) The bullet cannot penetrate the plank of the wood completely.

The given parameters include;

mass of the bullet, m₁ = 100 g = 0.1 kgmass of the gun, m₂ = 5 kginitial velocity of the bullet, u₁ = 400 m/sthickness of the plank, x = 10 cm

(a) The backward or recoil velocity of the gun is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

let the backward or recoil  velocity of the gun = u₂

m₁u₁  + m₂u₂ = 0

m₂u₂ = -m₁u₁

[tex]u_2 = -\frac{m_1u_1}{m_2} \\\\u_2 = - \frac{0.1 \times 400}{5} \\\\u_2 = -8 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the recoil or backward velocity of the gun is 8 m/s.

(b) determine if the bullet can penetrate the plank of the wood completely

the bullet traveled 4 cm and lost ¹/₃ of u₁the remaining distance to completely penetrate the plank = 6 cmthe final velocity of the bullet at 4 cm, v = 400 - ¹/₃ x 400 m/s  = 266.67 m/s

the acceleration of the bullet is calculated as;

v² = u₁² + 2as

2as = v² - u²

[tex]a = \frac{v^2 -u_1^2}{2s} \\\\a = \frac{(266.67)^2 -(400)^2}{2\times 0.04} = -1.111 \times 10^6 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Finally, determine the distance traveled by the bullet when it comes to a complete stop, that is the final velocity = 0

[tex]v_f^2 = v^2 + 2ad\\\\2ad = v_f^2 - v^2\\\\d = \frac{v_f^2 - v^2}{2a} \\\\d = \frac{(0) - (266.67)^2}{2(-1.111\times 10^6)} \\\\d = 0.032 \ m[/tex]

d = 3.2 cm

The total distance traveled by the bullet inside the plank = 4 cm + 3.2 cm = 7.2 cm

Therefore, the bullet cannot penetrate the plank completely.

Answers

Although you did not mention the "described data collection," we can help you answer in the following terms.

The three potential challenges or important points to consider when conducting data collection are:

1.- To correctly establish the specific information needed to get as a result of the research.

2.- The kind of methodology appropriate to get that expected data.

3.- The process needed to analyze and interpret that data.

- As well, it is of the utmost importance that the researcher considers the type of data compared to the budget needed to get it. Here, the budget should consider the cost of the collection process.

- Of course, the result of the process has to result in data that is valid and accurate, because that is the nature of a good research project.

Here we have to stress the relevance of the establishment of a good hypothesis to start the collection process, no matter the data collection methods used to get the data such as interviews, focus groups, observations, and so on.

We can conclude that collection data is a rigorous process that should be strictly followed to really obtain the kind of data needed to support the foundation of any research.

Una onda se propaga en un medio P, de tal forma que recorre una distancia 8D en un tiempo 4T. La misma onda cuando se propaga por un medio Q recorre una distancia 4D en el mismo tiempo anterior, es decir, en 4T. Respecto a esta onda es correcto afirmar que *

Answers

Sabemos todo material tiene asociado un coeficiente de difracción n.

De tal forma que la velocidad de una onda electromagnetica que viaja a travez de dicho material, será:

v = c/n

donde c es la velocidad de la luz.

Con la información dada, podremos concluir que el coeficiente de difracción del medio Q es dos veces el del medio P.

Ahora veamos como llegamos a esto:

Sabemos que en el medio P, la onda recorre una distancia 8*D en un tiempo 4*T

entonces la velocidad de la onda en el medio P es:

[tex]V_p = \frac{8*D}{4*T} = 2*\frac{D}{T}[/tex]

Mientras que en el medio Q, recorre una distancia 4*D en un tiempo 4*T, por lo que la velocidad en el medio Q será:

[tex]V_Q = \frac{4*D}{4*T} = \frac{D}{T}[/tex]

Podemos ver que:

[tex]V_P = 2*V_Q[/tex]

Reescribiendo las velocidades como el cociente entre la velocidad de la luz y el correspondiente coeficiente de difracción obtenemos:

[tex]\frac{c}{n_P} = 2*\frac{c}{n_Q} \\\\n_Q = 2*n_P[/tex]

5.0 m s-1 accelerates for 5 s at a rate of 2 m s? Wh
will be its final velocity ?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 15 \ m/s \ or \ 15 \ m*s^{-1}}}[/tex]

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity. We are given the acceleration, time, and initial velocity, so we can use the following kinematics formula.

[tex]v_f= v_i+ at[/tex]

In this formula, [tex]v_f[/tex] is the final velocity, [tex]v_i[/tex] is the initial velocity, [tex]a[/tex] is the acceleration, and [tex]t[/tex] is the time.

The bicycle has an initial velocity of 5.0 m *s⁻¹ or m/s, acceleration of 2 m/s², and a time of 5 seconds.

[tex]\bullet \ v_i = 5.0 \ m/s \\\bullet \ a= 2\ m/s^2\\\bullet \ t= 5 \ s[/tex]

Substitute the values into the formula.

[tex]v_f=5.0 \ m/s + ( 2\ m/s^2 * 5 \ s)[/tex]

Solve inside the parentheses.

[tex]\frac {2 \ m}{s^2}* 5 \ s = \frac{ 2 \ m}{s} * 5 = \frac{ 10 \ m}{s} = 10 \ m/s[/tex]

[tex]v_f= 5.0 \ m/s + (10 \ m/s)[/tex]

Add.

[tex]v_f= 15 \ m/s[/tex]

The units can also be written as:

[tex]v_f= 15 \ m*s^{-1}[/tex]

The bicycle's final velocity is 15 meters per second.

Question 4: Scientists and engineers often plan investigations to see how changing one variable affects the outcome. A variable is any trait, condition or feature of something being tested. Imagine a team is testing the speed of a toy car. In trial 1, they test the car and measure how long it takes it to travel 2 meters. In trial 2, they want to investigate how changing a variable affects the car's speed. Which of the following plans is BEST for trial 2?

Answers

A variable, as its name implies, is something that can change, ideally, as the scientists and engineers want to.

Particularly we care for the independent variables, which are the ones we can control and affect the dependent variables, which are the outcomes we study.

For a quick example, think of an experiment where you heat something on an oven. The temperature of the oven can be set by the scientist, so the temperature is an independent variable because they can control it.

Now let's see the given experiment.

The team is testing the speed of the toy car.

remember that:

distance/time = speed.

We know that in the first trial, they test how long takes the car to travel 2 meters.

Now, what we can change for the second trial, knowing that the speed is the output that we are studying?

The answer is trivial, the only thing we can change in the given setup is the distance that the car travels, so in the next trial we should change the variable "distance travelled by the car" and see if it affects the output "speed of the car".
