The SI unit of force is the Newton.

1 newton is the force that accelerates a 1 kilogram mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second².

1 pound of force is equivalent to roughly  4.448 newtons.

(1 newton is equivalent to roughly  0.225  pounds of force.)

A stone falls from the top of a cliff into the ocean. in the air, it had an average speed of 161616 \text{m/s}m/sm, slash, s. in
Mariulka [41]
The motion of the stone consists of two separate motions: in air, with average speed v_1 = 16 m/s, and in the water, with average speed v_2 = 3 m/s.
The total distance covered is 127 m, and it is the sum of the distances covered in air and in the water:
127 m = S = S_1 + S_2 (1)
and the total time taken is the sum of the time the stone travels in air + the time the stone travels in the water:
12 s = t = t_1 + t_2
Since S=vt, we can rewrite  (1) as
127 = v_1 t_1 + v_2 t_2 = 16 t_1 + 3 t_2

We have now a system of 2 equations with 2 unknown variables:
\left \{ {{16t_1 + 3 t_2 = 127} \atop {t_1 + t_2 = 12}} \right.
And if we solve it, we find
t_1 = 7 s
t_2 = 5 s
Which means that the stone travels for 7 seconds in air and for 5 seconds in the water.

A roller coaster starts from rest at its highest point and then descends on its (frictionless) track. its speed is 40 m/s when i
Alenkinab [10]

Given that,

Initial velocity , Vi = 0

Final velocity , Vf = 40 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity , a = 9.81 m/s²

Distance can be calculated as,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 *s = 40² - 0²

s = 81.55 m

For half height, that is, s = 40.77m

Vf= ??

2as = Vf² - Vi²

2 * 9.81 * 40.77 = Vf² - 0²

Vf² = 800

Vf = 28.28 m/s

Therefore, speed of roller coaster when height is half of its starting point will be 28 m/s.

What resistance would produce a current of 200A with a potiential difference of 200V?
viktelen [127]
Aw, I hate physics, is this on Apex?

Resistance can be calculated with the information given in the question.
Equation for Resistance: R = V/I
V (voltage) = 200 Volts
I (current) = 200 Amps

So 200 divided by 200 = freaking 1

Answer: R = 1 (ohms)

Hope this Helps!
