A nickel and a sheet of paper, which have approximately the same mass, are dropped at the same time from the same height. The nickel will reach the ground first. Which statement best explains this result? (1 point) O The force of air resistance acts more strongly on the nickel than on the sheet of paper. O The force of gravity acts more strongly on the nickel than on the sheet of paper. The force of air resistance acts more strongly on the sheet of paper than on the nickel. O The force of gravity acts more strongly on the sheet of paper than on the nickel.

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Which type of basaltic lava flow has a fairly smooth

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.15 times a second. a tack is stuck in the tire at a distance of 0.373 m from the rotation axis. noting that for every rotation the tack travels one circumference (a) find the tack's tangential speed. (b) what is the tacks radial acceleration?
