Explanation:

It is given that,

The stone reaches the water surface is 3 seconds. Let d is the distance covered by the by the stone before hitting the water. Initial speed of the stone, u = 0

Using second equation of motion to find the distance covered.

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, a = g

d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3)^2

d = 44.1 meters

So, the stone will cover a distance of 44.1 meters before hitting the water. Hence, this is the required solution.

g A ball thrown straight up into the air is found to be moving at 7.94 m/s after falling 2.72 m below its release point. Find th
kati45 [8]

The ball has height <em>y</em> and velocity <em>v</em> at time <em>t</em> according to

<em>y</em> = <em>v</em>₀ <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em> ²

and

<em>v</em> = <em>v</em>₀ - <em>g t</em>

where <em>v</em>₀ is its initial speed and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball is falling with a velocity of 7.94 m/s when it's 2.72 m below the release point, which at time <em>t </em>such that

-2.72 m = <em>v</em>₀ <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> <em>t</em> ²

-7.94 m/s = <em>v</em>₀ - <em>g t</em>

Solve for <em>t</em> in the second equation:

<em>t </em>= (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)/<em>g</em>

Substitute this into the first equation and solve for <em>v</em>₀ :

-2.72 m = <em>v</em>₀ (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s) /<em>g</em> - 1/2 <em>g</em> ((<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)/<em>g</em>)²

-2.72 m = <em>v</em>₀²/<em>g</em> + (7.94 m/s) <em>v</em>₀/<em>g</em> - 1/2 (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)²/<em>g</em>

2 (-2.72 m) <em>g</em> = 2<em>v</em>₀² + 2 (7.94 m/s) <em>v</em>₀ - (<em>v</em>₀ + 7.94 m/s)²

2 (-2.72 m) (9.80 m/s²) = 2<em>v</em>₀² + (15.9 m/s) <em>v</em>₀ - (<em>v</em>₀² + (15.9 m/s) <em>v</em>₀ + 63.0 m²/s²)

-53.3 m²/s² = <em>v</em>₀² - 63.0 m²/s²

<em>v</em>₀² = 9.73 m²/s²

<em>v</em>₀ = 3.12 m/s

Suppose a ball had a potential energy of 5 J when you dropped it.What would be it’s kinetic energy just as it hit the ground?
timama [110]

Answer:

Due to Conservation of Energy just as the ball hits the ground it's potential energy is assumed zero

Therefore disregarding air resistance all energy is converted into potential energy.

So KE = PE  

(5 J)

Letter C on the map labels which feature of the Middle East?
likoan [24]

Honest, the map is so tiny, and so fuzzy when I blow it up, I really can't see anything on it clearly.  But I think maybe I do see a letter ' C ' in the eastern Mediterranean, with a curved line over to the southern Gaza strip, where it meets Sinai.  So I'll say it's the Gaza Strip.
