A dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

s = vt - 1 / 2 at²

s = Displacement

v = Final velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

s = 5 m

t = 1 s

a = 10 m / s²

5 = ( v * 1 ) - ( 1 / 2 * 10 * 1 * 1 )

5 = v - 5

v = 10 m / s

The equation used to solve the given problem is an equation of motion. In a free fall motion, usually air resistance is not considered for easier calculation. If air resistance is considered acceleration cannot be constant throughout the entire motion.

Therefore, a dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

If the speed of an object is doubled, what happens to its kinetic energy?
asambeis [7]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is energy of motion. Doubling the speed will quadruple the kinetic energy. The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is: This means that the factor by which kinetic energy increases is the square of the factor by which speed or velocity increases for a given object.

Which statement accurately describes something that Yolanda can do as a part of her study?
Vikki [24]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is Yoland's study:

<span>Yolanda is studying two waves. The first wave has an amplitude of 2 m, and the second has an amplitude of 3 m.
</span>
I think the answer is "She can use constructive interference to generate a wave with an amplitude of 1.5 m."
