Zinaida [17]3 years ago

Answer:

It would take the object 5.4 s to reach the ground.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the height of a free-falling object at any given time, neglecting air resistance, is the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the object at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-32.2 ft/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

t = time

Let´s supose that the object is dropped and not thrown so that v0 = 0. Then:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0:

0 = 470 ft - 1/2 · 32.2 ft/s² · t²

Solving for t:

-470 ft = -16.1 ft/s² · t²

-470 ft / -16.1 ft/s² = t²

t = 5.4 s

A uniform rod of length L is pivoted at L/4 from one end. It is pulled to one side through a very small angle and allowed to osc
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

T= 4.24sec

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula below to calculate.

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

Where T is period

           L is length of rod

       g is acceleration due to gravity =     9.8m/s^{2}

From the problem, the rod is pivoted at 1/4L which means that three quarter of the rod was used for the oscillation. lets call this L_{O}

L_{O} = 3/4 * 5.95m

        = 4.4625m

thus   T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_{O} }{g} }

          T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{4.4625 }{9.8} }

          T= 4.24sec

a man crossed a road 8.25m wide at a speed of 2.01m/s,how long does it take to get man to cross the road​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

t = 4.1 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Width of road which is to be crossed by a man is 8.25 m, it means it is distance to be covered.

Speed of man is 2.01 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the man to cross the road. It is a concept of speed. Speed of a person is given by total distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t is time taken

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{8.25}{2.01}\\\\t=4.1\ s

So, the time taken by the man to cross the road is 4.1 seconds.

1. A rock of granite has a mass of 50 kg. if it’s weight in water
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The first part of the question is asking about BUOYANT FORCE or UPTHRUST.

Upthrust =TRUE WEIGHT-APPARENT WEIGHT

TRUE WEIGHT=mg

TRUE weight=50kg×10m/s²

=500N

upthrust=500N-380N

FB=120N

volume of the rock=mass/density.

since the granite is completely submerged, the volume of the displaced liquid will be equal to the volume of the body.

upthrust=Vdg

120N=V×1000kg/m³×10m/s²

120N=V×10000kg/m²s²

120/10000=V

v=0.012m³

please mark brainliest, hope it helped
