Answer:

9.8m/s

Explanation:

Wherever you're on the earth's surface, gravitational force remains the same and it does not matter either its a rock that's being tossed or a sheet of paper, the acceleration remains 9.8m/s only. *Condition applied=air resistance neglected

Which of these cultures did NOT make major contributions to astronomy?

Svetlanka [38]

I can't particularly place what Icelandic contributed.

But every other culture contributed majorly.

So I would go for option b.

A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m

Damm [24]

Answer

given,

Tension of string is F

velocity is increased and the radius is not changed.

the string makes two complete revolutions every second

consider the centrifugal force acting on the stone

= $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

now centrifugal force is balanced by tension

T = $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

From the above expression we can clearly see that tension is directly proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to radius.

When radius is not changing velocity is increasing means tension will also increase in the string.

A skateboarder has an acceleration of −1.9 m/s2. If her initial speed is 6 m/s, how long does it take her to stop?

SSSSS [86.1K]

You said that she's losing 1.9 m/s of her speed every second.

So it'll take

(6 m/s) / (1.9 m/s²) = 3.158 seconds (rounded)

to lose all of her initial speed, and stop.

An object undergoes two successive displacements:

Gre4nikov [31]

The magnitude of the net displacement is 95.3 m

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the net displacement, we have to resolve each of the two displacements into the horizontal and vertical direction first.

1st displacement is:

$d_1=79 m$ at $16.9^{\circ}$
