Answer:

Explanation:

$v_f^2 = v_i^2-2a(x_f-x_i)$

Subtract both sides by $v_i^2$ :

$- v_i^2+v_f^2 = -2a(x_f-x_i)$

Divide both sides by -2*a:

$\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a} =x_f-x_i$

Add both sides by $x_i$ :

$x_i+\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a} =x_f$

Subtract both sides by $\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a}$ :

$x_i=x_f-\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a}$

The process of soil formation involves the following steps: Accumulation of materials, leaching and losses (because of weather factors particles are leached and eroded away or taken up from the soil by plants), Transformation and illluviation (the chemical weathering<span> of silt, sand, and the formation of clay minerals as well as the change of organic materials into decay resistant organic matter), p</span>odsolisation and translocations (strong acidic solutions breakdown the clay minerals).

A stone dropped from the top of a building reaches the ground with a velocity of 49ms¹. If the acceleration due to gravity is 9.

bezimeni [28]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 49 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

49 m/s = (9.8 m/s²) t + 0 m/s
