In the absence of air resistance or any other force on it, an object's acceleration is the acceleration of gravity ... <em>9.8 m/s² downward</em>.

It doesn't matter if the object rolled off a table, or fell out of an eagle's mouth, or got shot straight up out of a cannon, or LeBron threw it at the basket for a 3-pointer, or Justin Tucker kicked it for a field goal, or Tiger Woods chipped it for a bogey, or Billy Joe MacAllister heaved it straight down off the Tallahatchie Bridge with all his strength.

It doesn't matter how it got STARTED moving, or how fast it's going right now, or what direction it's going now.

If there's no air resistance, and no OTHER force on the object that can speed it up or slow it down, then it's in "free fall", and it's accelerating at 9.8 m/s² downward.

The size and direction of its MOTION doesn't matter. But the size and direction of its acceleration is 9.8 m/s² straight down.

The watt is a rate, similar to something like speed (miles per hour) and other time-interval related measurements.

Specifically, watt means Joules per Second. We are given that the electrical engine has 400 watts, meaning it can make 400 joules per second. If we need 300 kJ, or 3000 Joules, then we can write an equation to solve the time it would take to reach this amount of joules:

w * t = E

w: Watts

t: Time

E: Energy required

(Watts times time is equal to the energy required)

<u>Input our values:</u>

400 * t = 3000

(We need to write 3000 joules instead of 300 kilojoules, since Watts is in joules per second. It's important to make sure your units are consistent in your equations)

<u>Divide both sides by 400 to isolate t:</u>

<u />\frac{400t}{400} = \frac{3000}{400}

t = 7.5 (s)

<u>It will take 7.5 seconds for the 400 W engine to produce 300 kJ of work.</u>

<u></u>

If your front lawn is 18.0 feet wide and 20.0 feet long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1050 new snow flakes every min
Ivanshal [37]
<span>First, we need to determine the entire area of your front line by multiplying its length times its width.
18.0*20.0 = 360.0 square feet
We can use the rate of accumulation of snow, combined with this figure, to determine how much snow accumulates on your lawn per minute.
360.0 sq ft * 1050 flakes/min/sq ft = 378,000 flakes/min
We can then use the mass of a snowflake to calculate total snow accumulation per minute.
378,000 flakes/min * 2.00 mg/flake = 756,000 mg/min
Finally, we can use this number to determine accumulation per hour.
756,000 mg/min * 60 min/hr =
45,360,000 mg/hr</span>
