A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. one of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to

the victim with an initial velocity of 1.46 m/s and observes that is takes 1.8 s to reach the water. how high above the water was the preserver released? note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.

When the life preserver is dropped from the helicopter, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force. This modifies the equations of motion. Thus, the working equation is written below:

h = vt + 0.5gt²
where
v is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s²
h is the height of the fall

h = (1.46 m/s)(1.8 s) + 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(1.8 s) 
h = 11.457 m

The dimensions of the disk of our milky way galaxy are:.
Katen [24]

Answer:

According to studies, the milky way is approximately, "170,000–200,000 light-years (52–61 kpc) in diameter and, on average, approximately 1,000 ly (0.3 kpc) thick."

With that being said, it is safe to say that the dimensions are somewhere around 100,000 by 1,000

Pretty sure it’s C. all the others are speeding up. acceleration means gradually (over time) getting faster. So it’s C.

You go to the hardware store to buy a new 50 ft garden hose. You find you can choose between hoses of ½ inch and 5/8 inch inner
omeli [17]

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider two concepts. The first of these is the flow rate that can be defined as the volumetric quantity that a channel travels in a given time. The flow rate can also be calculated from the Area and speed, that is,

Q = V*A

Where,

A= Cross-sectional Area

V = Velocity

The second concept related to the calculation of this problem is continuity, which is defined as the proportion that exists between the input channel and the output channel. It is understood as well as the geometric section of entry and exit, defined as,

Q_1 = Q_2

V_1A_1=V_2A_2

Our values are given as,

A_1=\frac{1}{2}^2*\pi=0.785 in^2

A_2=\frac{5}{8}^2*\pi=1.227 in^2

Re-arrange the equation to find the first ratio of rates we have:

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{A_2}{A_1}

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{1.227}{0.785}

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=1.56

The second ratio of rates is

\frac{V2}{V1}=\frac{A_1}{A2}

\frac{V2}{V1}=\frac{0.785}{1.227}

\frac{V2}{V1}=0.640
