Washington Monument=555 ft 1 meter=3.28 feet 555/3.28 = height in meters 169.21 meters tall B. A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the monument. A nickel with a mass of 0.005 kg is in her shirt pocket

Since you didn't provide how tall the Monument was, I took the liberty to find it and it is 555 feet tall. So to convert to meters we must divide 555 by 3.28 or multiply it by 0.3048 (this is the method I used).
555 x 0.3048 = 169.164 meters

2.1) (i) W = mg downwards
(ii) N = R = Normal Reaction from the ground upwards
(iii) Fe = Force of engine towards the right
(iv) f = friction towards the left
(v) ma = Constant acceleration towards right.
2.2.1)
v = 25 m/s
u = 0 m/s
∆v = v - u = (25 - 0) m/s = 25 m/s
x = X
∆t = 50 s
$a \: = \: \frac{dv}{dt} \: = \: \frac{25 \: \frac{m}{s} }{50 \: s} \: = \: 0.5 \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }$
a = 0.5 m/s².
2.2.2)
F = ma = 900 kg × 0.5 m/s² = 450 N.
2.2.3)
$2ax \: = \: {v}^{2} \: - \: {u}^{2}$
$x \: = \: \frac{ {v}^{2} \: - \: {u}^{2} }{2a} \: = \: \frac{{(25 \: \frac{m}{s})}^{2} \: - \: {(0 \: \frac{m}{s} )}^{2} }{2 \: \times \: 0.5 \: \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } } \: = \: 625 \: m$
2.3)
Fe = f + ma
Fe - f = ma
For velocity to be constant,
a should be 0, or, a = 0,
Fe = f = 270 N
2.4.1)
v = 0
u = 25 m/s
a = -0.5 m/s²
v = u + at
t = -u/a = -(25)/(-0.5) = 50 s.
2.4.2)
x = -625/(2×(-0.5)) = 625 m.

According to Newton’s first law of motion, when will an object at rest begin to move?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Newton's first law of motion says something like "An object remains
in constant, uniform motion until acted on by an external force".

Constant uniform motion means no change in speed or direction.
If an object changes from rest to motion, that's definitely a change
of speed. So it doesn't remain in the state of constant uniform
motion (none) that it had when it was at rest, and that tells us
that an external force must have acted on it.

The maximum speed with which you can throw a stone is about 20 m/s. Can you hit a window 45 m away horizontally and 10 m up from

Allushta [10]

Answer:

y = 17 m

Explanation:

For this projectile launch exercise, let's write the equation of position

x = v₀ₓ t

y = $v_{oy}$ t - ½ g t²

let's substitute

45 = v₀ cos θ t

10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

the maximum height the ball can reach where the vertical velocity is zero

v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

Let's write our system of equations

45 = v₀ cos θ t

10 = v₀ sin θ t - ½ 9.8 t²

0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

We have a system of three equations with three unknowns for which it can be solved.

Let's use the last two

v₀ sin θ = 9.8 t

we substitute

10 = (9.8 t) t - ½ 9.8 t2

10 = ½ 9.8 t2

10 = 4.9 t2

t = √ (10 / 4.9)

t = 1,429 s

Now let's use the first equation and the last one

45 = v₀ cos θ t

0 = v₀ sin θ - 9.8 t

9.8 t = v₀ sin θ

45 / t = v₀ cos θ

we divide

9.8t / (45 / t) = tan θ

tan θ = 9.8 t² / 45

θ = tan⁻¹ ( 9.8 t² / 45 )

θ = tan⁻¹ (0.4447)

θ = 24º

Now we can calculate the maximum height

v_y² = $v_{oy}^2$ - 2 g y

vy = 0

y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

y = (20 sin 24)²/2 9.8

y = 3,376 m

the other angle that gives the same result is

θ‘= 90 - θ

θ' = 90 -24

θ'= 66'

for this angle the maximum height is

y = v_{oy}^2 / 2g

y = (20 sin 66)²/2 9.8

y = 17 m

thisis the correct
