Answer:

1.37 seconds before.... splat !

Explanation:

y = y0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t^2      y0 = 30       y = 0

                    v0 = 0 ( from rest)

                            a = - 32.2 ft/s^2

0 = 30 - 1/2 * 32.2 * t^2

t=1.366 seconds                   <u>  Note that   mass   is irrelevant.</u>

Idaho Jo is doing physics experiments throughout the solar system. She travels to each planet and shoots a potato straight up in
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Mercury / Mars

Explanation:

For an object launched straight upward, the following SUVAT equation can be used

v^2-u^2=-2gh

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration of gravity (free fall acceleration) (the negative sign is due to the downward direction of gravity)

h is the maximum height reached

At the maximum height, the velocity is zero, so v = 0. Re-arranging the equation,

h=\frac{u^2}{2g}

So we see that for equal initial velocity (u), the maximum height reaches is inversely proportional to the acceleration of gravity. Therefore, the potato gun will reach the highest altitude in the planets with lowest acceleration of gravity, therefore Mercury and Mars (3.7 and 3.6 m/s^2).

A 200 g air-track glider is attached to a spring. The glider is pushed in 9.8 cm against the spring, then released. A student wi
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

k =  5.05 N/m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the spring mass of the system, you use the following formula:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}     (1)

T: period of oscillation of the system

m: mass of the air-track glider = 200g = 0.200 kg

k: spring constant = ?

You first calculate the period of oscillation:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12/15.0s}=1.25s

Next, you solve the equation (1) for k, and then you replace the values of the other parmateres:

k=4\pi^2 \frac{m}{T^2}\\\\k=4\pi^2 \frac{0.200kg}{(1.25s)^2}=5.05\frac{N}{m}

The spring constant of the spring is 5.05 N/m

The electric field strength E is measured as:
soldi70 [24.7K]
The correct answer is
<span>force per unit charge.

In fact, the electric field strength is defined as the electric force per unit charge experienced by a positive test charge located in the electric field. In formula:
</span>E= \frac{F}{q}
where
E is the electric field strength
F is the electric force experienced by the charge
q is the positive test charge.
