vf = vi + at 

vf – vi = at<span>

<span>vi= 0, vf=26  and afor nil = 9.8m/s2</span></span>

26 = 9.8t

t =<span> 26 / 9.8 = 2.65 s
Now we know the total time, so we can calculate the time 1 second before it hit the ground. 

<span>= 2.65 -1 = 1.65s

<span>Now again using the same equation, vf = vi+at, we can find vf
vi = 0, a = 9.8 t=1.65</span></span></span>

vf = 0 + 9.8(1.65) = 16.17 m/s<span>
</span><span>So, the nail is traveling with the speed of 16.17m/s 1 second before it hits the ground.</span>

A football punter accelerates a .55 kg football
Ronch [10]

Answer:

17.6 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum of the football

\Delta t=0.25 s is the time elapsed

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football

u = 0 is the initial  velocity (the ball starts from rest)

v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity

Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we  find the force exerted on the ball:

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(0.55)(8.0-0)}{0.25}=17.6 N

A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an _______
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an electron.

Explanation:

In an atom, nuclei contain protons and neutrons, which are the fundamental particles of an atom. Neutrons are stable and uncharged particles inside a nucleus.

For 15 times during its lifetime, a free neutron decays and breaks down into more smaller particles.This breakdown causes problems in nuclear reactors, as they start decaying and emit radiations of different wavelengths.

A neutron undergoes the decaying process to produce an electron, a proton, and energy.

The reaction of neutron decay:

  n0 → p+ + e− + νe

I will be so thankful if u answer correctly!!​
polet [3.4K]

(C) 200 N

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on earth g_{E} is given by

g_{E} = G\dfrac{M_{E}}{R_{E}^{2}}

where G = universal gravitational constant

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:M_{R} = mass of the earth

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:R_{E} = radius of the earth

Planet Krypton has twice the mass of earth and 3 times the radius so its acceleration due to gravity g_{K} is

g_{K} = G\dfrac{M_{K}}{R_{K}^{2}}

\:\:\:\:\:\: = G\dfrac{(2M_{E})}{(3R_{E})^{2}}

\:\:\:\:\;\:= (\dfrac{2}{9})G\dfrac{M_{E}}{R_{E}^{2}}

or

g_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:g_{E}

If we multiply both sides by Superman's mass, we get his weights on both planets:

mg_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:(mg_{E})

W_{K} = (\dfrac{2}{9})\:W_{E} = (\dfrac{2}{9})(900\:N)= 200\:N
