A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g

round is 120.00 meters. Find the time the bottle would take to land if it were to fall the same distance on the moon instead of Earth. (Note: Acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1/6 that on Earth.)

The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is 
                        D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²) 
           Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected 
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does. 
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t²  

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t² 

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

  -- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .-- 

They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.

Please hurry Describe why electric currents can be dangerous
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Cardiac Arrest, burns, and nerve damage.

Explanation:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.

The international system of units is the designated system of units used by scientist in every part of the world to keep data in the same form and measurements, this is to avoid confusion and the need to convert data when being shared. typically described in meters or kilometer over a time form usually seconds or hours.

Kevin jumps straight up in the air to a height of 1 meter.At the top of his jump, he has potential energy of 1,000 joules.Answer
Llana [10]
Gravitational potential energy can be given by the equation
PE = mgh
where m is the mass,
g is the gravitational constant 9.81 or 10 depending on rounding
and h is the height

well weight is a force equiavlent to
W= m*g

so comparing that to the potential energy equation, divide the potential energy by the height and you will get weight in Newtons

You use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch
valentinak56 [21]

1.8 is the mechanical advantage of the lever.

<h3>Definition of mechanical advantage</h3>

The theoretical mechanical advantage of a system is the ratio of the force that performs the useful work to the force applied, assuming there is no friction in the system.

The advantage gained by the use of a mechanism in transmitting force specifically the ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine.

Mechanical advantage is given by the ratio of the load lifted to the force applied to lift the load.

In this case, Mechanical advantage=L/E where L is the load and E is the effort applied.

Mechanical advantage= 90/50 =1.8

Question-you use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch. you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch with a force of 90 n. what is the mechanical advantage of the lever?
