A flowerpot falls from the ledge of an apartment building. A person in an apartment below, coincidentally holding a stopwatch, n

otices that it takes 1 s for the pot to fall past his window, which is 4 m high. How far above the top of the window is the ledge from which the pot fell? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.

Answer

given,

height of window = 4 m

time taken to travel = 1 s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

u = \dfrac{s - \dfrac{1}{2}at^2}{t}

u = \dfrac{4 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^2}{1}

u = -0.905 m/s

initial velocity of ledge v = 0

now,

v² = u² + 2 a s

(-0.905)² = 0 + 2 × 9.8 ×s

s = 0.042 m

How far will a body move in 4 seconds if uniformly accelerated from rest at rate of 2m\sm\s​
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

16 m

Explanation:

For an object in uniformly accelerated motion (=with constant acceleration), the distance covered by the body can be found by using the following suvat equation:

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

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the body in this problem,

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

a=2 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting t = 4 s, we find the distance covered:

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)^2=16 m

how is the acceleration of a car traveling on an elevated air track related to the angle of elevation
quester [9]
Acceleration is a vector quantity that expresses the rate of change in velocity. Being a vector quantity, then the value has magnitude and direction. If the car exerts a constant net force as it travels, the greater the angle of elevation is, the greater is the decrease in its acceleration. Since the vertical component of is affected by the acceleration due to the gravity, that is why vehicles exert more force to climb a steeper hills.

As you look at the side of the wheel, you can see it spinning clockwise. What are the directions of the angular velocity, and an
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The direction of angular velocity and angular momentum are perpendicular to the plane of rotation. Using the right hand rule, the direction of both angular velocity and angular momentum is defined as the direction in which the thumb of your right hand points when you curl your fingers in the direction of rotation.

Escape speed from the surface of earth is about
dezoksy [38]
<span>On the surface of the Earth, the escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s, which is approximately 33 times the speed of sound (Mach 33) and several times the muzzle velocity of a rifle bullet (up to 1.7 km/s). However, at 9,000 km altitude in "space", it is slightly less than 7.1 km/s.</span>

vodka [1.7K]

-The group 7 elements are also known as the halogens. They include fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, which all have seven electrons in their outer shell.

-The noble gases make a group of chemical elements with comparable properties; under standard conditions, they are all odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with very low chemical reactivity. The six noble gases that occur naturally are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and the radioactive radon. FACT: They can also act like a glow stick.<span>[ID1] </span>
