Denise is conducting a physics experiment to measure the acceleration of a falling object when it slows down and comes to a stop

. She drops a wooden block with a mass of 0.5 kilograms on a sensor on the floor. The sensor measures the force of the impact as 4.9 newtons. What’s the acceleration of the wooden block when it hits the sensor? Use F = ma.

To calculate the acceleration of the wooden block, we use the expression F=ma where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration. We calculate as follows:

F = ma
4.9 = 0.5a
a = 9.8 

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Water runs through a plumbing with a flow of 0.750m3/s and arrives to every exit of a fountain. At what speed will the water com
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Divide the flow rate (0.750 m³/s) by the cross-sectional area of each pipe:

diameter = 40 mm   ==>   area = <em>π</em> (0.04 m)² ≈ 0.00503 m²

diameter = 120 mm   ==>   area = <em>π</em> (0.12 m)² ≈ 0.0452 m²

Then the speed at the end of the 40 mm pipe is

(0.750 m³/s) / (0.00503 m²) ≈ 149.208 m/s ≈ 149 m/s

(0.750 m³/s) / (0.0452 m²) ≈ 16.579 m/s ≈ 16.6 m/s

On a hike, you travel 2800 m in 2 h. What is your average speed?
Marina86 [1]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Firstly, to find speed you need to remember the speed formula:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

You can do it by doing 2800 ÷ 2 but that gives m/h (metres per hour)

So to convert hours into seconds, you multiply 2 by 7200 (amount of second in 2 hours:

2 * 7200 = 14400 seconds

Now we can do distance ÷ time by plugging the values in:

2800 ÷ 14400 = \frac{7}{36} ≈0.194

<h3>So the average speed is 0.194m/s (metres per second) </h3><h3 /><h2>Hope this helps!</h2>

Explain the force that keep the rock balanced on its tiny pedestal
Nuetrik [128]
A pedestal rock, also known as a rock pedestal or mushroom rock, is not a true balancing rock, but is a single continuous rock form with a very small base leading up to a much larger crown. Some of these formations are called balancing rocks because of their appearance. The undercut base was attributed for many years to simple wind abrasion, but is now believed to result from a combination of wind and enhanced chemical weathering at the base where moisture would be retained longest. Some pedestal rocks sitting on taller spire formations are known as hoodoos. I think this is the answer if I’m wrong I’m very sorry
