How long Tina, a ballerina, in the air when she leaps straight up with a speed of 1.8 m/s?

Physics

Tems11 [23]3 years ago

The acceleration of gravity on or near the surface of the Earth is 9.8 m/s².
Anything acted on only by gravity loses 9.8 m/s of upward speed, or gains
9.8 m/s of downward speed, every second.

Leaping straight upward at 1.8 m/s, Tina keeps rising until she runs out of
upward speed.  That happens in (1.8/9.8) = 0.1837 second after the leap.

After that, Finkel's First Law of Motion takes over:
"What goes up must come down."

The dropping part of the leap is symmetrical with the first.  Please don't
make me go through proving it.  Tina hits the floor at the same speed of
1.8 m/s with which she left it, and it takes the same amount of time to drop
from the peak to the floor as it took to rise from the floor to the peak.

So her total time out of contact with the floor is

                     2 x (0.1837 sec)  =  0.367 second  (rounded)

What did johannes kepler contribute to the study of planets
Nana76 [90]
Johannes Kepler was a main stargazer of the Scientific Revolution known for detailing the Laws of Planetary Motion. A stargazer, obviously, is a man who contemplates the sun, stars, planets and different parts of room. Kepler was German and lived in the vicinity of 1571 and 1630. 
Despite the fact that Kepler is best known for characterizing laws in regards to planetary movement, he made a few other striking commitments to science. He was the first to discover that refraction drives vision in the eye and that utilizing two eyes empowers profundity recognition.

The stars in the sky are organized into groups of stars called constellations which appear near each other in the sky but are no
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The International Astronomical Union (IAU)  has accepted 88 constellations in the sky.

Explanation:

Constellations has been used since the beginnings of civilizations and each one of them named them as they considered appropiate. It means Greeks' constellations were different than the ones described by Chinese, so it was necessary to gather all these constellations and make a great record with all of them, but there was a problem: Some constellations from different civilizations overlaped because they shared the same stars. There was necessary to put some order on this and that is when in 1922 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defned a set of 88 moderm constellations  that would become the international standard to look at the night sky. Each one of them is unique and does not share stars with the other constellations.

5. Susan exerted 400 newtons of force while pushing on a huge boulder. The boulder moved 0 meters. Calculate work.
Stells [14]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance in the direction of force.

The formula is ; Work = Force * Distance

Given that :

Force = 400 N

Distance = 0 meters

Work = 400 * 0 = 0 J

No work was done because the boulder did not move.

Which dog has the most kinetic energy
Blababa [14]
The formula to find the kinetic energy is:

Ek= 1/2 × m × v^2

1. Ek= 1/2×15×3^2
= 67.5 J

2.Ek= 1/2×8×4^2
=64 J

3.Ek= 1/2×12×5^2
= 150 J

4.Ek= 1/2×10×6^2
= 180 J

So the fourth dog has the most kinetic energy.
