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

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s

How to convert acceleration to velocity.
Nana76 [90]

You can't. Velocity and acceleration measure two different things, so their units are incompatible. It's like asking, "How many meters does this book weigh?"

Maybe you mean "find" acceleration using given velocities, or a velocity function?

When landing after a spectacular somersault, a 35.0 kg gymnast decelerates by pushing straight down on the mat. calculate the fo
Sliva [168]

The deceleration experienced by the gymnast is the 9 times of the acceleration due to gravity.

Now from Newton`s  first law, the net force on gymnast,

F_{net} =F-W=ma

Here, W is the weight of the gymnast and a is the acceleration experienced by the gymnast (9\times g acceleration due to gravity)  

Therefore,

F= ma+W OR F=ma+mg=m(g+a)

Given m = 30 kg anda=9\times g=9\times 9.8 m/s^{2} =88.2 m/s^{2}

Substituting these values in above formula and calculate the force exerted by the gymnast,  

F=(40 kg) (88.2 m/s^{2} +9.8 m/s^{2} )

F=3.537\times10^{3}N

Which shows the formula for converting from kelvins to degrees Celsius? °C = (9/5 × K) +32 °C = 5/9 × (K – 32) °C = K – 273 °C =
madam [21]

The freezing point of the water is 0 C , and it equals to 273 K

Then, To convert from Kelvins degrees to Celsius degrees we use the relation

K = C + 273

Also,

C = K - 273
