Ok so this is simple projectile motion problem.

if we have an object falling in free fall it is subject to gravity of -9.80m/s^2

so it says it takes 6 sec to fall and we know initial velocity was zero so we know that h=vt+1/2gt^2 so we get h=0+1/2*9.80*6^2 = 176.4m 

so solving for final speed we get KE=PE = 1/2mv^2=mgh = 1/2v^2=gh so 
v=sqrt(2*g*h) = sqrt(2*9.8*176.4m) = 58.8m/s final speed when it hits the ground


hope this helps you! Thanks!!

An object, initially at rest, is subject to an acceleration of 34 m/s^2. How long will it take for that object to reach 3400m ?
Norma-Jean [14]
Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad
a= 34 m/s^2
Vi = 0 m/s
d = 3400m

Vf = 480.83 m/s

a=v/t
t=v/a
t=480.83/34
t=14.142 s

Positive ions have blank protons than electrons
grandymaker [24]
Postitive ions have more protons than electrons, because protons are positively charged. Electrons have a negative charge, so if there were less protons than electrons the job would be negative. If there were the same amount of both, then the positive and negative charges balance each other out, making a neutral charge.

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?
AfilCa [17]
Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.

Convection is a process of heat transfer. In the earth, convection occurs because of heat and pressure from the core.
