An 3-kg object is dropped from a height of 5 m. The rock has an impact speed of

Physics
1 answer:
Andrews [41]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The rock has an impact speed  of 9.9 m/s.

Explanation:

given information:

object's mass, m = 3 kg

height, h = 5 m

in this case, the potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy

PE = KE

mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv²

where

m = mass (kg)

g = gravitational constant (9.8 m/s²)

v = velocity (m/s)

so,

mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv²

gh = \frac{1}{2} v²

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

  = √(2)(9.8)(5)

  = 9.9 m/s

Answer:

Given: V=12 V

            I=2.5 mA

Let the resistance be R

By Ohm's Law, 

V=IR

12=2.5×10−3R

R=4.8×103 Ω

What makes astronomers think that impact rates for the Moon must have been higher earlier than 3.8 billion years ago?
dexar [7]

There is strong evidence indicating that 3.8 billion years ago there was a higher impact rate. This deduction starts from comparing the number of craters in the lunar highlands with those of the Mary. If this comparison is made, it will be observed that there are 10 times more craters in the highlands than in a similar area of Mary. It should be borne in mind that through radioactive dating processes the samples indicate that there is a slightly greater antiquity in the highlands than those of Maria. This allows us to deduce that if the impact rates had been constant, the highlands would have been 10 times older. They would have to be formed 38 billion years ago, long before the universe itself began.

Therefore one of the most obvious reasons is there are ten times more craters on the older highlands than the Younger Maria.

The chart shows the speed at which light travels through different media.
sammy [17]

Answer:

Air.

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, let us consider the relationship between velocity and the wavelength of a wave. This is illustrated below:

Velocity, wavelength and frequency are related by the following equation:

Velocity = wavelength × frequency

v = λf

From the equation above, we can see clearly that the velocity is directly proportional to the wavelength.

This means that an increase in the wavelength will lead to an increase in the velocity and also, a decrease in the wavelength will lead to a decrease in the velocity.

Now, considering the table given in the question above, we can see that the wave has a higher speed in air. This simply means that the wave will also have a higher wavelength in air.

Thus, the correct answer to the question is: air

A ball is dropped out of a window and hits the ground at 14.5 m/s. How long did it take to fall to the ground?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation:

v_f=v_0+at which says that the final velocity of a falling object is equal to its initial velocity times the acceleration of gravity times the time it takes to fall. We have the final velocity, -14.5 (negative because its direction is down and down is negative), initial velocity is 0 (because it was held still by someone before it was dropped), and acceleration is -9.8 (negative again, because direction is down while acceleration increases). Filling in:

-14.5 = 0 - 9.8t and

-14.5 = -9.8t so

t = 1.5 seconds
