A) Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.

True

Reason : as the falling object approach the ground, acceleration due to gravity in down direction acts on it and accelerate it.

B) The weight of an object increases as it moves away from the ground.

False

Reason : As the object moves away from the ground, acceleration due to gravity acting on the object decreases. since the weight directly depends on the acceleration due to gravity, hence the weight decreases too.

C) Lighter objects experience a lower acceleration than heavier objects.

False

Reason : Since acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass.

D) The mass of an object increases as it moves closer to the ground.

False

Reason : Since mass of an object is independent of the acceleration due to gravity.

Option (a) is correct.

Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².

Bill and amy want to ride their bikes to school which is 14.4 kilometers away. It takes Amy 49 minutes to get to school and bill

Drupady [299]

3.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance to school = 14.4km

Time taken by Amy = 49min

Time taken by bill = 20min after Amy = 20+49 = 69min

Unknown parameters:

How much faster is Amy's average speed = ?

Solution:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance with total time taken.

Average speed = $\frac{total distance }{total time taken}$

convert units to meters and seconds

1000m = 1km

60s = 1min

Distance to school = 14.4 x 1000 = 14400m

Time taken by Amy = 49 x 60 = 2940s

Time taken by Bill = 69 x 60 = 4140s

Average speed of Amy = $\frac{14400}{2940}$ = 4.9m/s

Average speed of Bill = $\frac{4140}{2940}$ = 1.4m/s

Differences in speed = 4.9 - 1.5 = 3.4m/s

Amy was 3.4m/s faster than Bill

What is the mean of 22, 72, 79, 72, and 70

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

63

Explanation:

You first have to add all the numbers together.

22+72+79+72+70 = 315

You divide the total by the amount of numbers (5)

315/5 = 63

The mean is 63

A train 471 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 75.1 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l

hram777 [196]

Answer:

$t = 37.6 s$

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

$v_i = 75.1 km/h$

now we know that

$v_i = 20.86 m/s$

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

$v_f = 15 km/h$

$v_f = 4.17 m/s$

now we can use kinematics here

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)$

$a = -0.44 m/s^2$

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

$v_f - v_i = at$

$4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)$

$t = 37.6 s$

How much total energy is dissipated in 10. seconds

noname [10]

Answer : Total energy dissipated is 10 J

Explanation :

It is given that,

Time. t = 10 s

Resistance of the resistors, R = 4-ohm

Current, I = 0.5 A

Power used is given by :

$P=\dfrac{E}{t}$

Where

E is the energy dissipated.

So, E = P t.............(1)

Since, $P=I^2R$

So equation (1) becomes :

$E=I^2Rt$

$E=(0.5\ A)^2\times 4\Omega \times 10\ s$

$E=10\ J$

So, the correct option is (3)

Hence, this is the required solution.
