Answer: 7.436 s

Explanation:

This situation is related to vertical motion, specifically free fall and can be modelled by the following equation:

y=y_{o}+V_{o} t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}  

Where:

y= 0m is the final height of the object (when it makes splash)

y_{o}=271 m  is the initial height of the object

V_{o}=0 m/s  is the initial velocity of the object (it was dropped)

g=-9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity (directed downwards)

t is the time since the objecct is dropped until it makes splash

0=y_{o}+0+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}  

Clearing t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}  

t=\sqrt{\frac{-2(271 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}  

Finally:

t=7.436 s

A mass–spring system moves with simple harmonic motion along the x axis between turning points at x = 10x=10 cm and x_2 = 30x ​2
Marianna [84]

Answer:

(I) The momentum of the system is greatest at the point midway between the points X1 and X2; that is X = 20cm. This is because the velocity is maximum at this point. This point is the equilibrium point of the system.

(II) The Kinetic energy of the system is also great at the point midway between the points X1 and X2; X = 20cm

(III) The total energy is greatest at multiple points.

Explanation:

The velocity is greatest at the equilibrium position of the system because the forces responsible for the to and fro movement of the system cancel out of balance up at this point. At any point where there is no net force acting, the acceleration is zero. So at this point the velocity of the body is not changing and has a maximum value. As a result the momentum and kinetic energy of the system will be maximum here too since moment = mv and kinetic energy = ½MV²

The total energy is always the sum of the kinetic and potential energy and at various points the values of the potential and kinetic energies vary from zero to maximum but the total energy is always constant. A simple diagramatic illustration will help to understand this concept. Check the attachment below.

2.1 Define Resultant vector​
lord [1]

Explanation:

In vector geometry, the resultant vector is defined as: “A resultant vector is a combination or, in simpler words, can be defined as the sum of two or more vectors which has its own magnitude and direction.”

I hope it's helpful!
