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

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.

What is the electric force acting between two charges of -0.0045 C and -0.0025 C that are 0.0060 m apart? Use Fe=kq1q2/r^2 and k
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

D. 2.8 × 10⁹ N

Explanation:

The force between two charges is directly proportional to the amount of charges at the two points and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two points.

Fe= k Q₁Q₂/r²

Q₁= -0.0045 C

Q₂= -0.0025 C

r= 0.0060 m

k= 9.00 × 10 ⁹ Nm²/C²

Fe= (9.00 × 10 ⁹ Nm²/C²×-0.0045 C×-0.0025 C)/0.0060²

=2.8 × 10⁹ N

What is the frequency heard by a person driving at 15 m/s toward a factory whistle emitting a
zmey [24]

Answer:

835.29 Hz

Explanation:

When moving towards the source of sound, frequency will be given by

f*=f(vd+v)/v

Where f is the freqiency of the source, vd is the driving speed, v is the speed of sound in air, f* is the inkown frequency when moving forward.

Substituting 800 Hz for f, 340 m/s for v and 15 m/s for vd then

f*=800(15+340)/340=835.29411764704 Hz

Rounded off, the frequency is approximately 835.29 Hz

7. Which quantity is the transfer of energy?<br> force<br> motion<br> work
Arisa [49]

In this exercise we have to know the definition of energy to understand what is transferred to a body, like this:

Work

<h2>What is energy?</h2>

Despite being used in many different contexts, the scientific use of the word energy has a well-defined and precise meaning: Innate potential to perform work or perform an action. Anything that is working, moving another object, or heating it up, for example, is expending (transferring) energy.

With this definition we can say that the only alternative that responds to this is work.

A bungee jumper of mass m = 65 kg jumps from a bridge.
yawa3891 [41]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply energy conservation.

By definition we know that kinetic energy is equal to potential energy, therefore

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where,

m = mass

g = gravitaty constat

v = velocity

h = height

Re-arrange to find h,

h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

Replacing with our values

h=\frac{26^2}{2*9.8}

h = 34.498\approx 34.5m

Therefore the correct answer is C.
