1. I drop a penny from the top of the tower at the front of Fort Collins High School and it takes 1.85 seconds to hit the ground

. Calculate the velocity in m/s after 1.10 seconds of freefall and calculate the velocity at impact in mi/hr.

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is  9.8 m/s² .
The speed of a falling object keeps increasing smoothly,
in such a way that the speed is always 9.8 m/s faster than
it was one second earlier.

If you 'drop' the penny, then it starts out with zero speed. 
If you also start the clock at the same instant, then

         After  1.10 sec,  Speed = (1.10 x 9.8) = 10.78 meters/sec


         After  1.85 sec,  Speed = (1.85 x 9.8) = 18.13 meters/sec

But you want this second one given in a different unit of speed.
OK then:

     =  (18.13 meter/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (1 mile/1609.344 meter)

     =    (18.13 x 3,600 / 1609.344)  (mile/hr)  =  40.56 mph  (rounded)

We did notice that in an apparent effort to make the question
sound more erudite and sophisticated, you decided to phrase
it in terms of 'velocity'.  We can answer it in those terms, if we
ASSUME that there is no wind, and the penny therefore doesn't
acquire any horizontal component of motion on its way down.

With that assumption in force, we are able to state unequivocally
and without fear of contradiction that each 'speed' described above ...
with the word 'downward' appended to it ... does become a 'velocity'.

What is the primary source of energy for earths weather systems
PIT_PIT [208]
I believe the sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's weather system. The sun is the primary energy source for Earth's climate system which is the first set of essential principles of climate sciences. Additionally, it is the primary source that drives all weather events, including precipitation, hurricane and tornadoes. The sun drives the hydrologic cycle, and makes life on Earth possible.

The energy of the wave will decrease.

The energy of a wave is given as

E = h f

where E = energy of waver

h = plank's constant

f = frequency of the wave.

From the formula , we see that the energy of the wave is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. hence as the frequency of the wave decrease, the energy of the wave will decrease.

Distinguish between nonsampling error and sampling error. Choose the correct answer below.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Non-sampling error is the error that results from​ under-coverage, non-response​ bias, response​ bias, or​ data-entry errors. Sampling error is the error that results because a sample is being used to estimate information about a population.

Explanation:

Sampling error is related to the variation between the true values of the sample and the population. If occurred, it is always random depending upon the sample chosen.

Non-sampling error can be random as well as non-random. Non-sampling error can occur irrespective of the sample chosen. It is related to the inappropriate analysis of the data.
