Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

In order to find the time taken by the stone to fall from the top of the building to the ground we can use 2nd equation of motion. 2nd equation of motion is as follows:

s = Vit + (0.5)gt²

where,

t = time = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 20 m/s

s = height of building = 60 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

60 m = (20 m/s)t + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

4.9t² + 20t - 60 = 0

solving this quadratic equation we get:

t = -6.1 s   (OR)   t = 2 s

Since, the time cannot be negative in magnitude.

Therefore,

<u>t = 2 s</u>

A simple pendulum consists of a mass M attached to a string oflength L andnegligible mass. For this system, when undergoing smal
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)

This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end.  If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other <u><em>only</em></u> depends on the <u><em>length</em></u> of the string.

How does the size of arctic foxes ears help to keep them warm in a cold environment
DochEvi [55]
artic foxes have thick white fur to keep them warm and also for camouflage in the snow they have small ears to keep the snow out of their ears so that they can hear better they also have thick fur lining and a thick pad on their feet this stops the paws from getting cold and they have short legs so then the body weight can be spread making it easier for the animal to not sink in the snow in the summer the artic fox turns brown to help make the fox invisible when people are hunting in the long grass

A 200.0 kg piano is elevated by a crane to a height of 10.0 meters above a sidewalk. If the rope holding the piano breaks, what
Nitella [24]
All that business about the crane and the rope and the falling
is only there to confuse us.

The piano ended up 5 meters above the ground.

           Potential energy = (mass) (gravity) (height)

                                   = (200 kg) (9.81 m/s²) (5 m)

                                   = (200 · 9.81 · 5)  (kg-m²/s²)

                                   =   9,810 joules   .
