Which statement best compares the accelerations of two objects in free fall? A) The heavier object has a greater acceleration.
B) The object that has the greater surface area has the lower acceleration
C) The object that has the smaller mass has the greater acceleration
D) The objects have the same acceleration

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Answer: option D). The objects have the same acceleration.

The acceleration of both objects is g (acceleration of gravity).

In freefall the only force acting is the attraction of the earth (gravity). There is not air resistance.The acceleration is not dependent either of the mass or the surface area of the object.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is: D) The objects have the same acceleration.

On a spending spree in Malaysia, you buy an ox with a weight of 28.9 piculs in the local unit of weights: 1 picul = 100 gins, 1 gin = 16 tahils, 1 tahil = 10 chees, and 1 chee = 10 hoons. The weight of 1 hoon corresponds to a mass of 0.3779 g. When you arrange to ship the ox home to your astonished family, how much mass in kilograms must you declare on the shipping manifest?

A high pressure center is generally characterized by

Answers

A high pressure center is generally characterized by cool, dry weather. The movement is cause by the addition of forces due to gravity because their higher pressure compresses the column of air near the center of the area nto greater density and so greater weight compared to lower pressure, lower density and lower weight of the air outside the center.

A periodic wave is produced by a vibratingtuning fork. The amplitude of the wave would be
greater if the tuning fork were
(1) struck more softly
(2) struck harder
(3) replaced by a lower frequency tuning fork
(4) replaced by a higher frequency tuning fork

Answers

The amplitude of the wave would be greater if the tuning fork were "struck harder" since this would make for a louder noise, which happens from higher amplitudes.

State the law of universal gravitation, and use examples to explain how changes in mass and changes in distance affect gravitational force.

Answers

F(g)= Gm1m2/ r^2 If mass is increased, so will the force of gravity because it is in direct relationship with the gravitational force, but if distance is increased, the force of gravity will decrease because it is indirectly related ( since it is on the bottom of the equation)

When evaluating promotional claims, it is important to __________.a.do your own research c.determine if there are other possible solutions b.ask if it makes sensed.all of the above

Answers

D. ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Promotional claims are given by companies to attract potential buyers with the intent of selling their goods and services.

Consumers must not only rely on what these promotional claims are saying, instead one must do his or her own research to verify if said claims are true, will benefit the consumer and is the only viable or practical solution needed to satisfy the needs of the consumer.
