Galileo dropped two different sized objects from the tower of Pisa and they both hit the ground at the same time. The object was to prove that the size/weight (i.e. mass) of the object would not affect the rate of fall.

Name all the factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?

- The slope and length of the ramp. - The rolling friction between the tires and the ramp/ground. - The air resistance (which is dependent on the velocity and geometrical shape of the car). - The direction and speed of the wind. - The smoothness of the ground (a rugged surface will slow the car down).

Can you take Gabapentin and Strattera together?

Yes, lyrica and strattera can be taken together. It is a rather speedy combo if I do say so, the lyrica can produce a "rolling" effect. And the strattera enhances that quite a bit. I should know, I'm doing it right now :]

Which physical quantity is given by slope of v-t graph?

The physical quantity given by the slope of a velocity-time graph is acceleration. This is because the slope represents the rate of change of velocity over time, which is how acceleration is defined (acceleration = change in velocity / time taken).


When you take the slope of a distance-time graph you find?

If Distance is the ordinate(y-axis) and Time is the abscissa(x-axis) then the slope gives the speed. If Time is the ordinate(y-axis) and Distance is the abscissa(x-axis) then the slope gives the Time taken per unit of Distance

How many different permutations are there of 4 objects taken 4 at a time?

The number of different permutations of 4 objects taken 4 at a time is calculated using the formula ( n! ), where ( n ) is the number of objects. For 4 objects, this is ( 4! = 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24 ). Therefore, there are 24 different permutations.
