You would use
d = v0*t + 0.5at^2
Solve for t. v0 is 0, d is 18 and a is -9.81

t = sqrt(18/4.9)

The distance fallen through gravity in ' t ' seconds is

        Distance  =  (1/2) (acceleration of gravity) (t²)

           18 meters  =  (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)

Divide each side by (4.9 m/s²):

                           (18 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  t²

                                 3.67 sec²  =  t²

Square root each side:    1.92 sec  =  t  .    (rounded) 

That's not much time.  But Peter Pan never got old, so
presumably he hasn't got too much life to flash through. 
He may be OK with 1.92 seconds.  Maybe even enough
time to linger momentarily over some of the juicier parts.

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?
Mice21 [21]
In a hydrolysis reaction between a strong acid and a weak base, the salt formed will have a pH less than 7. By virtue of this phenomenon between <span>weak bases and strong acids</span>, the anion of the strong acid will fail to attract the hydrogen ion<span>, while the cation from the weak base will donate a </span>proton<span> to the water forming a hydronium ion</span><span>.

What does basketballs have inside of it
FrozenT [24]
Hi there!

Great question!

Basketballs have air inside them. A special pump is used to insert the air. That's why you can lift the basketballs off the ground easily. If it was a solid, though, you'd hardly be able to lift the ball up! Basketballs can float, too, because anything with air inside can float. If it were solid, it would sink in the water easily.

Hope this helps! :D

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on
lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N

Io experiences tidal heating primarily because __________. hints io experiences tidal heating primarily because __________. io i
maxonik [38]
Lo experiences tidal heating primarily because lo’s elliptical orbit causes the tidal force on lo to vary as it orbits the Jupiter. Thus, lo’s elliptical orbit is essential to its tidal heating. This elliptical orbit, in turn, is an end result of the orbital resonance among lo, Europa and ganymade. This orbital resonance origin lo to have a more elliptical orbit than it would because lo intermittently passes Europa and ganymade in the same orbital position. We cannot perceive tidal forces of tidal heating in lo but rather we foresee that they must occur based on the orbital characteristic of the moons and active volcanoes on lo is the observational evidence that tidal heating is significant in lo.

The fixed hydraulic cylinder C imparts a constant upward velocity v = 2.2 m/s to the collar B, which slips freely on rod OA. Det
Olenka [21]

Answer:

so angular velocity is 7.13128 sec−1

Explanation:

velocity v = 2.2 m/s

displacement s = 220 mm = 0.220 m

distance d = 510 mm = 0.510 m

to find out

angular velocity

solution

we know that

angular velocity will be velocity ( v)  / (displacement²  +  distance²)   .....1

now put all these value in equation 1 and we get angular velocity i.e.

angular velocity =  velocity ( v)  / (displacement²  +  distance²)

angular velocity = 2.2  / (0.22²  +  0.51²)

angular velocity = 2.2 / 0.3085

angular velocity = 7.13128

so angular velocity is 7.13128 sec−1
