You can find

1) time to hit the ground
2) initial velocity
3) speed when it hits the ground

Equations

Vx = Vxo

x = Vx * t

Vy = Vyo + gt

Vyo = 0

Vy = gt

y = yo - Vyo - gt^2 / 2

=> yo - y = gt^2 / 2

1) time to hit the ground

=> 8.0 = g t^2 / 2 => t^2 = 8.0m * 2 / 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.631 s^2

=> t = √1.631 s^2 = 1.28 s

2) initial velocity

Vxo = x / t = 6.5m / 1.28s = 5.08 m/s

3) speed when it hits the ground

Vy = g*t = 9.81 m/s * 1.28s = 12.56 m/s

V^2 = Vy^2 + Vx^2 = (12.56 m/s)^2 + (5.08 m/s)^2 = 183.56 m^2 / s^2

=> V = √ (183.56 m^2 / s^2) = 13.55 m/s

muminat

a) $15.2 m/s^2$

b) 1.96 N

c) 1.96 N

Explanation:

To find the acceleration of the box, we apply Newton's second law of motion:

$\sum F=ma$

where

$\sum F$ is the net force on the box

m is the mass of the box

a is its acceleration

Here we have to consider the horizontal direction, which is the one in which the box is moving. The net force is given by:

$\sum F=3.55 N - 0.52 N=3.03 N$

which is the difference between the forward force and the resistive force. Then we have

m = 0.200 kg (mass of the box)

Therefore, the acceleration of the box is:

$a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{3.03}{0.200}=15.2 m/s^2$

The gravitational force (also called weight) is the force with which an object is pulled by the Earth towards the Earth's centre.

It is given by

$F_g = mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, we have:

m = 0.200 kg is the mass of the box

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Therefore, the gravitational force on the box is:

$F_g=(0.200)(9.8)=1.96 N$

The normal force is the force with which a surface pushes back on an object.

For an object lying on a flat surface, there are two forces acting along the vertical direction:

- The gravitational force, $F_g$ , which pushes the object downward

- The normal force, N, which pushes the object upward

As the object is at rest, the vertical acceleration of the object is zero, therefore according to Newton's second law of motion, the net force must be zero:

$\sum F=F_g-N=0$

Which means that the normal force is equal to the gravitational force:

$N=F_g$

And so, for the box in this problem, the normal force is

$N=1.96 N$

Answer:

SO ANSWER AGRE AS FOLLOWS:

Explanation:

A. Wind is the movement of air, caused by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun and the Earth's own rotation. Winds range from light breezes to natural hazards such as hurricanes and tornadoes.

B.At night, the roles reverse. The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land. The land loses heat quickly after the sun goes down and the air above it cools too. ... This causes the low surface pressure to shift to over the ocean during the night and the high surface pressure to move over the land.
