Alec says the force of gravity is stronger on a piece of paper after it’s crumpled. His classmate, Jordan, disagrees. Alec “prov

es” his point by dropping two pieces of paper, one crumpled and the other not. Sure enough, the crumpled piece falls faster. Has Alec proven his point?

No, Alec has not.
The force due to gravity is the same on all objects, regardless of shape and size. The acceleration caused by this force is 9.81 m/s². So if there are two identical pieces of paper, both will experience an equal force of gravity.
The difference in the papers' flight paths is due to the greater air resistance that the flat paper experiences. If the same experiment were to be repeated in a vacuum chamber, both of the pieces of paper would fall at the same rate

madam [21]

Answer:

the only effect it has is to create more induced charge at the closest points, but the net face remains zero, so it has no effect on the flow.

Explanation:

We can answer this exercise using Gauss's law

      Ф = ∫ e . dA = q_{int} / ε₀

field flow is directly proportionate to the charge found inside it, therefore if we place a Gaussian surface outside the plastic spherical shell.  the flow must be zero since the charge of the sphere is equal  induced in the shell, for which the net charge is zero. we see with this analysis that this shell meets the requirement to block the elective field

From the same Gaussian law it follows that if the sphere is not in the center, the only effect it has is to create more induced charge at the closest points, but the net face remains zero, so it has no effect on the flow , so no matter where the sphere is, the total induced charge is always equal to the charge on the sphere.

Which statement is not a good practice when working inside a computer case?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

a. be sure to hold expansion cards by the edge connectors

Explanation:

Removal of loose jewelry is a good safety practice. Also not touching a microchip with a magnetized screwdriver is also a good practice.

But holding expansion cards by the edge connectors is not a good practice, so it is the odd one in the question. Therefore answer option a provides the correct and best answer to the question

carbon-14 has a half-life of approximately 5,700 years. a fossil shell contain 25% of the original amount of its carbon-14. appr
denis23 [38]

The half-life equation m=m_{0} (\frac{1}{2})^n in which <em>n </em>is equal to the number of half-lives that have passed can be altered to solve for <em>n.</em>

<em>n = \frac{log(\frac{m}{m_{0}} )}{log(\frac{1}{2})}</em>

<em>\frac{log(\frac{.25}{1} )}{log(\frac{1}{2})} = 2</em>

Then, the number of half-lives that passed can be multiplied by the length of a half-life to find the total time.

<em>2 * 5700 =  </em>11400 yr

Sandra's target heart rate zone is 135bpm—172bpm. Marissa's target heart rate zone is 143bpm—176bpm. They stop playing basketbal
Feliz [49]

Answer: Neither Sandra nor Marissa will be in her THR zone.


Explanation:


1) Actual pulse of both Sandra and Marissa : 144 bpm


2) Decrease of 20 bpm ⇒ 144 bpm - 20 bpm = 124 bpm


3) Sandra's TRH is in the range 135 - 172 bpm.


Since 124 < 135, she will be below the range.


4) Marissa's TRH range is 143 - 176 bpm.


Since, 124 < 143, she is below the range


In conlusion, neither Sandra nor Marissa will be in her THR zone.

A circular pipe of 25-mm outside diameter is placed in an airstream at 25C and 1-atm pressure. The air moves in cross flow over
kifflom [539]

Answer:

f_D = =3.24 N/m

Explanation:

data given

properties of air\nu\ of air =19.31*10^{-6} m2/s

\rho = 1.048 kg/m3

k = 0.0288 W/m.K

WE KNOW THAT

Reynold's number is given as

Re =\frac{VD}{\nu}

      = \frac{ 15*0.025}{19.31*10^{-6}}

      = 1.941 *10^4

drag coffecient is given as

C_D = \frac{f_D}{A_f\frac{\rho v^2}{2}}

solving for f_D

f_D = C_D A_f*\frac{\rho v^2}{2}

     =C_D D*\frac{\rho v^2}{2}

Drag coffecient for smooth circular cylinder is 1.1

therefore Drag force is

f_D = 1.1*0.025 *\frac{1.048*15^2}{2}

f_D = =3.24 N/m
