Acceleration due to gravity is constant on all objects. If air resistance is neglected, then two objects will fall at the same rate, no matter what their mass. Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth is 9.8 meters per second per second, or about 32 feet per second per second.

The simple answer is no. Speed is defined as distance divided by time. Velocity always has a vector (direction). Instantaneous speed is velocity where the vector is not stated. I know this sounds a little complicated. But here is an example (draw yourself a picture): A car has a velocity of 100 km per hour with respect to the road. It is easy to see that the vector is going in the direction of the car. The point of contact of the tire with the road has zero velocity. The axle of the car has the same velocity and direction as the car. The velocity of the top of the tire therefore has TWICE the velocity of the car.

Not necessarily, Remember, KE = .5mv^2 Even if they're going the same "speed" they might be moving in different directions, changing their KE. Also, if they don't have the same mass, they can have different kinetic energies. Example: A train and a feather are moving at 50 miles per hour, which would you rather be hit with....The feather, of course! Even though they have the same velocity, one has much less mass.

No. If their momentum is the same, you only know that MaVa = MbVb. That doesn't guarantee that 1/2 MaVa2 = 1/2 MbVb2. Example: Body-A: Ma = 3, Va = 5 Momentum = MaVa = 15 K.E. = 1/2 MaVa2 = 37.5 ====================== Body-B: Mb = 5, Vb = 3 Momentum = MbVb = 15 (same as Body-A) K.E. = 1/2 MbVb2 = 22.5 (not same as Body-A)

Sure. Kinetic energy depends on both mass and speed. So two objects could have

different speeds, but if their masses are also different by just the right amount,

their KE's could be equal.

Only if their masses are equal.

For example ...

If you're swimming at 2 miles per hour and hit the pier, you probably don't leave the same mark as
a battleship that's gliding along at 2 miles per hour when it hits the pier.

Kinetic energy is proportional to mass as well as (speed)2

by taking an e.g let a body of mass 1kg and having a velocity of 1m/sec .if we increase mass to 2kg then energy will be 1kg m/sec.if we increase speed to 2m/sec then energy will be 2kg m/sec.

Does heat is NOT related to temperature differences?

Heat is the amount of energy transferred between objects where a difference in temperature is present. So in that sense, heat is related to temperature differences, but is not the same. The temperature difference is caused by the difference in the avg. speed of particles between the two objects.


Does heat transfer from objects with low temperature to objects with high temperature?

No.


Can all objects contain heat?

Heat is the vibration of the atoms or molecules that make up things. As all atoms can vibrate and all objects are made of atoms, all objects contain heat energy.


Does matter have heat energy when it is cold?

Because molecules in matter are always moving, virtually all matter has some heat energy, even when it seems cold to you. Matter that seems cold is merely not as hot as objects near it, or as hot as your hand. It still has temperature and thus heat energy. As long as its temperature is above -459.7°, it has heat energy.


Two objects may have the same temperature but they will not have the same amounts of thermal energy unless they also have the same amount of?

heat


What happens to an objects temperature when you ad heat?

The temperature of the object will rise because of the heat.


Heat and temperature are not the same thingHow are they different?

Heat (measured in Joules) is the amount of energy that has been put in or out of the system. Heat is not conserved and can be transformed into another type of energy. Temperature (measured in Kelvin) is a property of objects, which relates to the kinetic energy of molecules in them.


What normally warms up faster when heat is applied?

Objects with a lower specific heat capacity (mass for mass) will raise their temperature the same amount with less energy input.


What is the effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance?

The effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance is called heat transfer. As heat increases, the temperature decreases.


Two objects may have the dame temperature but they will not have the same amounts of thermal energy unless they also have they same amount of what?

What are two factors that determine an object's thermal energy?

An objects temperature and the number of particles


When do objects radiate heat?

When their temperature is greater than the temperature of the adjacent zones.
