While the object is up high, it has some amount of gravitational potential energy.  As it falls, it loses some gravitational potential energy, and THAT energy turns into the object's energy of motion ... called kinetic energy.

The correct answer choice is<em> b .</em>

If a rock is dropped from the top of a tower at the front of it and takes 3.6 seconds to hit the ground. Calculate the final vel
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

35.28m/s; 63.50m

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Time, t = 3.6 secs

Since it's a free fall, acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 0

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion;

V = u + at

Substituting into the equation, we have;

V = 0 + 9.8 * 3.6

V = 35.28m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the penny is 35.28m/s.

To find the height, we would use the second equation of motion;

S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}

Substituting the values into the equation;

S = 0(3.6) + \frac {1}{2}*9.8*(3.6)^{2}

S = 0 + 4.9*12.86

S = 0.5 *36

S = 63.50m

Therefore, the height of the tower is 63.50m.

svlad2 [7]

If current is passed through two parallel conductors in the same direction and the conductors are placed near each other, they will​ attract each other.

<h3>What is electric current?</h3>

Electric current can be defined as the flow of electrons.

Since electrons are easily removed from atom and are very mobile, the flow of electrons constitute an electric current.

Materials which allow electric current to flow through them are known as conductors. Examples of conductors are metals, and electrolytes.

On the other hand, materials which do not allow electric current to pass through them are known as insulators. Examples of insulators are wood and rubber.

The flow of current is known as electricity.

Parallel conductors with current flowing through them in the same direction are attracted to each other as a result of a magnetic field produced by the flow of current.

In conclusion, conductors allow electric current to pass through and the flow of current through a conductor produces a magnetic field.

An engineer is designing a runway for a witch. Several brooms will use the runway and the engineer must design it so that it is
jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

x

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a tower at the same instant a ball is droppedvertically. Which object is travelin
Igoryamba

The ball is travelling faster when the two objects hits the level ground below.

<h3>Time of motion of the objects</h3>

The time of motion of the objects depends on height and initial velocity of projection of the objects.

The stone has no initial vertical velocity while the ball has initial vertical velocity.

Thus, the ball is travelling faster when the two objects hits the level ground below.
