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 32-kg child decides to make a raft out of empty 1.0-L soda bottles and duct tape. Neglecting the mass of the duct tape and pla
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

32 bottles

Explanation:

If we create a free body diagram on the child we have his weight and the bouyant force

W-B=0

They must be equal to mantain equilibrium on the body and he can stay floating, this force is equivalent to the weight of water displaced

W=B=Ww

Mg=mg

32 kg=mass of water displaced

1 kilogram per liter (kg/L) is the density of water, this means that 32 Liters of water are displaced and since the bottles can retain 1 liter, the child needs 32 bottles

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

1.3310\times 10^8 m/s is the rock's speed.

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as motion possessed by the moving body's mass. Mathematically it a product of mas and velocity of the body.

Momentum(P)=Mass(m)\times velocity(v)

Given : Mass of rock = m = 1.45 kg

Velocity of the rock = v

Momentum of the rock = P =1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s

1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s=1.45 kg\times v

v=\frac{1.93\times 10^8 kg m/s}{1.45 kg}=1.33\times 10^8 m/s

1.3310\times 10^8 m/s is the rock's speed.

leonid [27]

Answer:

 the bending moment will be W from either sides

Explanation:

bending moment= force (load) * perpendicular distance, if I understand the question the distance will be 1/2 of the length

=> f x 1/2(l) =W*1/2(2) =W
