A stone is dropped from the top of a tower. What is its velocity after 3.0 seconds?

Physics

For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth. 

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet.  That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.

3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s. 

That's the vertical component of its velocity.  The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.

Answer:

M_c = 100.8 Nm

Explanation:

Given:

F_a = 2.5 KN

Find:

Determine the moment of this force about C for the two cases shown.

Solution:

- Draw horizontal and vertical vectors at point A.

- Take moments about point C as follows:

                        M_c = F_a*( 42 / 150 ) *144

                        M_c = 2.5*( 42 / 150 ) *144

                        M_c = 100.8 Nm

- We see that the vertical component of force at point A passes through C.

Hence, its moment about C is zero.

How are weather from ice and plants different from weathering from wind and water?
DENIUS [597]
“Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth’s atmosphere, biota and waters. Weathering occurs in situ, roughly translated to: “with no movement”, and thus should not be confused with erosion, which involves the movement of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity and then being transported and deposited in other locations.”

Weathering processes are of three main types: mechanical, organic and chemical weathering.
