<u>Answer</u>

1.225 m


<u>Explanation</u>

The formula for getting the distance cover in this case is;

s = ut + 1/2 gt²

Where u⇒intial velocity

t⇒time taken

g ⇒ acceleration due to gravity

But in this case u = 0, t = 1 and s =4.9.

So, the first thin is to calculate the value of g.

S = 1/2 gt²

4.9 = 1/2 g × 1²

g = 4.9 × 2

= 9.8 m/s².

Now calculate the distance after 0.5 s.

S = 1/2 × 9.8 × 0.5²

= 1.225 m

When an object is free-falling, no other force is acting upon it but the gravitational force. Because of this, the equations of motion are simplified. We can determine first the initial velocity:

v = √2gy = √2(9.81)(4.9) = 9.805 m/s

Then, we use this to the equation below:
y = vt + 1/2*at²
y = (9.805)(0.5) + 1/2(9.81)(0.5)²
y = 6.13 m

What is the horse power of an electric motor which can do by 1250 joule of work in 5 seconds​
Ksju [112]
1250 J in 5 sec= 250 Joule(s) per second (1250/5 0

250 Joules per second = 250 Watts ( 1J/s = 1 Watt per definition)

250 Watts output = 250/0.65 efficiency = 384 Watts input

1 Horsepower = 732 Watts

Motors 1 Horsepower and under are made in certain step sizes like

3/4 , 1/2 , 1/3, 1/4, 1/16 1/20 of a Horsepower.

3/4 Horsepower is 549 Watts

1/2 Horsepower is 366 Watts

so you need to 3/4 horsepower motor to achieve 1250 J of work in 5 seconds.

Which of newton's laws explains why your hands get red when you press them hard against a wall
kirill115 [55]
The Newton’s law that explains why the hands get red when you press them hard against a wall is Newton’s third law. When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite direction on the first body.

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1.2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is t
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

Explanation:

What is acceleration?

It is the change in velocity with respect to time, or the rate of change of velocity.

We can write this as:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}

Where

a is the acceleration

v is velocity

t is time

\Delta  is "change in"

For this problem , we are given

a = 1.2

t = 10

Putting into formula, we get:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\1.2=\frac{\Delta v}{10}\\\Delta v = 1.2*10\\\Delta v = 12

So, the change in velocity is 12 m/s

The change in velocity can also be written as:

\Delta v = Final  \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity

It is given Final Velocity = 16, so we put it into formula and find Initial Velocity. Shown Below:

\Delta v = Final  \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity\\12=16-Initial \ Velocity\\Initial \ Velocity = 16 - 12 = 4

hence,

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Diffraction of sound wavelengths.

Explanation:

Diffraction-A wave is able to bend around a corner due to the effects of diffraction. sound aves are capable of bending around corners in the same magnitude as it's wavelength making it possible to hear sounds around corners.
