A clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]

1 answer:

6 0

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So if there's no air resistance, the speed of a falling object
always increases by 9.8 m/s for every second it falls.

   Speed = (original speed) + (gravity x falling time)

-- If it has no vertical speed when it started, then at the end
of 3 seconds, its speed is

   = (0)    + (9.8 m/s² x 3 sec)

   Velocity = 29.4 m/s downward .

At which temperature does the motion of atoms and molecules stop?

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

0 Kelvin

Explanation:

Atoms in absolute temperature get approximatelly motionless since 0 Kelvin is -273 degrees Celcius. The kinetic energy of atoms/particles in matter has the possible lowest value ( almost zero), so that there is nothing colder than 0 Kelvin.

An observer sees a flower pot sail up and then back down past a window 2.45 m high. If the total time the pot is in the sight is

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: 2.55meter

Explanation: Using the second equation of motion.

S{hieght} = U*t + {g*t²}/2

Where U is initial velocity =0m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity 10m/s²

t is time 1secs

So we have,

hieght = 0 + {g*t²}/2

hieght = {10*(1)²}/2

Total hieght travelled is 10/2

Which is 5 meter.

But we are asked to find the hieght above the window which as a hieght of 2.45meter.

So,

hieght above window would be

{5 - 2.45}meter

Which is 2.55 meter.

A toy car moves 8 min 4 s at the constant velocity. What is the car's velocity?

Schach [20]

Explanation:

Formula:

$velocity = (d \div t)$

d = distance given

t = the amount of time given

Substitute the given values into the formula for velocity:

$v = 8 \div 4$

velocity is shortened for v.

8 (distance) divided by 4 (time) equals the velocity.

Solve:

$2 = 8 \div 4$

The velocity of the toy car equals: B. 2 m/s.

Fill in a T/F answer for each statement below. If false, correct the statement to make it true.:

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's answer these statements

.1) True. This is the law of reflection.

.2) False. The speed of light depends on the index of refraction n = c / v

v = c / n

.3) True. The frequency creates a forced oscillation, whereby the atoms re-emit at the same incident frequency

.4) False. The index of refraction is a measure of the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the material environment, the ability to change the trajectory is given by the law of refraction

.5) True. True due to the change in beam trajectory due to the law of refraction

.6 False. The phenomenon occurs when you pass from a medium with a higher index to one with a lower ratio, because the refracted beam separates from the normal

.7) True.

.8) False so that the lightning approach is valid Lam >> d,

.9) True.
