D = (1/2)·at²
where d is the distance fallen, a is the acceleration (g in this problem), and t is the time
d = (1/2)·(9.8 m/s²)·(30 s)² = (1/2)·(9.8)·(900) m
d = 4410 m
The answer is b) 4410 m

Note: the mass of the raindrop is irrelevant since the acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass. (Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment)

Answer: Option b, 4410 meters.

Explanation: If there is no air resistance, the acceleration experienced by the raindrop is equal to the gravitational acceleration:

a = -9.8m/s^2

for the velocity, we integrate over time, and there is no constant because we don't have initial velocity.

v = - (9.8m/s^2)*t

For the position, we integrate again over time, and we add a constant of integration that will be equal to the initial height of the raindrop.

r = (-9.8m/s^2)(t^2)/2 + H

if at t= 30s the raindrop reaches the ground, we have that:

r(30) = 0 = (-4.9*900)m + H

H = 4.9*900m = 4410m

So the initial height of the raindrop s 4410 meters.

A 0.50 kg object is attached to a spring with force constant 157 N/m so that the object is allowed to move on a horizontal frict
Genrish500 [490]

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of an object is 0.5 kg

Force constant of the spring is 157 N/m

The object is released from rest when the spring is compressed 0.19 m.

(A) The force acting on the object is given by :

F = kx

F=157\times 0.19\\\\F=29.83\ N

(B) The force is simply given by :

F = ma

a is acceleration at that instant

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{29.83}{0.5}\\\\a=59.66\ m/s^2

While on vacation, Carine rides in a hot-air balloon. To make the balloon rise, the pilot turns on a flame to warm the air insid
andre [41]

The air inside becomes warmer, and that makes it LESS DENSE.

Less-dense air FLOATS in denser air. Since it's inside the balloon, it picks the balloon up when it floats.

How are the oscillating magnetic and electric fields of an electromagnetic wave positioned relative to each other?​
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves consist of both electric and magnetic field waves. These waves oscillate in perpendicular planes with respect to each other, and are in phase. The creation of all electromagnetic waves begins with an oscillating charged particle, which creates oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
