They will fall together and land together, since there is no air resistance to slow the feather down. Classic experiment, I believe it was tried on the moon years ago.

A and B, move toward one another. Object A has twice the mass and half the speed of object B. Which of the following describes t
BARSIC [14]

Answer:D

Explanation:

Given

mass of A is twice the mass of B half the velocity of B

Suppose F_a and F_b be the average force exerted on A and B respectively

and According to Newton third law of motion Force on the body A is equal to Force on body B but opposite in direction as they are action and reaction force.

Thus F_a=-F_b  and option d is correct

A skydiver is using wind to land on a target that is 50 m away horizontally. The skydiver starts from a height of 70 m and is fa
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Answer:

15.67 seconds

Explanation:

Using first equation of Motion

Final Velocity= Initial Velocity + (Acceleration * Time)  

v= u + at

v=3

u=50

a= - 4 (negative acceleration or deceleration)  

3= 50 +( -4 * t)

-47/-4 = t

Time = 15.67 seconds

A particular material has an index of refraction of 1.25. What percent of the speed of light in a vacuum is the speed of light i
beks73 [17]

Answer:

80% (Eighty percent)

Explanation:

The material has a refractive index (n) of 1.25

Speed of light in a vacuum (c) is 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s

We can find the speed of light in the material (v) using the relationship

n = c/v, similarly

v = c/n

therefore v = 2.99792458 x 10⁸  m/s ÷ (1.25) = 239 833 966 m/s

v = 239 833 966 m/s

Therefore the percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum that is the speed of light in the material can be calculated as

(v/c) × 100 = (1/n) × 100 = (1/1.25) × 100 = 0.8 × 100 = 80%

Therefore speed of light in the material (v) is eighty percent of the speed of light in the vacuum (c)

A fish is 80 cm below the surface of a pond. What is the apparent depth (in cm) when viewed from a position almost directly abov
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from fish (D) = 80 cm

Find:

Apparent depth (Da)

Computation:

We know that,

Refractive index of water (n2) = 1.33

So,

Apparent depth (Da) = D(n1/n2)

Apparent depth (Da) = 80 (1/1.33)

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

1) What is the highest atomic number element a red dwarf star can produce in its core? a. Carbon b. Oxygen c. Helium d. Iron
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

1) c. Helium

2) Iron

3) False.

Explanation:

1. Red dwarf is the smallest and the coolest star on the sequence. These are common stars in the milky way. Red dwarfs contains metals and the elements with higher atomic number. It is found that Helium is produced in red dwarf stars.

2. Iron is the highest atomic number element that is produced in cores of largest stars. The highest mass stars can make all elements up to iron, which is the heaviest element they can produce.

3. The end of stars life is dependent on the mass they are born with. It is not necessary that all red dwarf stars will become white dwarf stars faster than sun like star.
