Let h = the distance from the edge of the wall to the water surface (m).

Use g = 9.8 m/s² and neglect air resistance.

The initial vertical velocity of the pebble is zero.
Because the pebble hits the surface of the water after 1.5 s, therefore
h = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(1.5 s)² = 11.025 m

Answer:  11.025 m

Answer: 11.025

Explanation:

Let h = the distance from the edge of the wall to the water surface (m).

Use g = 9.8 m/s² and neglect air resistance.

The initial vertical velocity of the pebble is zero.

Because the pebble hits the surface of the water after 1.5 s, therefore

h = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(1.5 s)² = 11.025 m

A wheel is used to turn a valve stem on a water valve. How much is the mechanical advantage when an effort of 80 lbs. is applied
Ann [662]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Effort (E) = 80 lbs

Load (L) = 320 lbs

Mechanical advantage (MA) =?

Mechanical advantage is simply defined as the ratio of load to effort. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Mechanical advantage = Load / Effort

MA = L / E

With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage as illustrated below:

Effort (E) = 80 lbs

Load (L) = 320 lbs

Mechanical advantage (MA) =?

MA = L / E

MA = 320 / 80

MA = 4

Thus, the mechanical advantage is 4

A leaf fell from a tree branch. The path it followed is shown in the diagram below.
prisoha [69]

The leaf fell at the crooked path instead of straight down because air currents and gravity applied changing and unbalanced forces to the leaf.

<h3>What is an air current?</h3>

An air current is defined as the changes in atmospheric pressure that causes the movement of air from one area to another.

When a leaf is detached naturally from the tree, it won't fall straight down to the floor but will fall a distance away from the tree due to the action of air current and some unbalanced forces.

a 1.2 kg rocket is launched from ground level with initial velocity of 12 m/s. What is the maximum height the rocket can reach?
Tanzania [10]

As the rocket is launched from the ground its height will go on increasing till it stops

So the height of rocket will be maximum when its speed becomes zero

so here we can use energy conservation theory

PE = KE

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

9.8*H = \frac{1}{2}*12^2

H = 7.35 m

So it will reach upto height 7.35 m

If you push a chair across the floor at a constant velocity, how does the force of friction compare with the force you exert? ex
patriot [66]
If the velocity of the chair is constant, then the net force acting on it is zero.

The force you exert to keep it going is equal and opposite to the force of friction.
