Answer:
Height of tree = 78.35 meters.
Explanation:
We have
1 meter = 3.28 feet
That is
Here height of tree = 257 ft
Height of tree = 257 x 0.3048 = 78.35 m
Height of tree = 78.35 meters.
For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth.
The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet. That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.
3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s.
That's the vertical component of its velocity. The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.
Answer:
288.0 units; that is the electrostatic force of attraction become quadruple of its initial value.
Explanation:
If all other parameters are constant,
Electrostatic Force of attraction ∝ (1/r²)
F = (k/r²) = 72.0
If r₁ = r/2, what happens to F₁
F₁ = (k/r₁²) = k/(r/2)² = (4k/r²) = 4F = 4 × 72 = 288.0 units
