I think the answer is “greenhouse effect”
Answer:
1.59 seconds
12.3 meters
but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.
Explanation:
This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.
Time
<u>Given</u>
a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.
d = 20 m
v = 12.6 m/s
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi * t + 1/2at^2
<u>Solution</u>
Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to
d = vi * t
20 = 12.6 * t
t = 20 / 12.6
t = 1.59 seconds.
It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground
Height of the building
<u>Givens</u>
t = 1.59 sec
vi = 0 Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0
a = 9.8 m/s^2 The acceleration is vertical.
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
<u>Solution</u>
d = 1/2 a*t^2
d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2
d = 12.3 meters.
The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)
The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.
As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.
From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as
Where,
m = mass
= initial and final velocity
g = Gravity
h = height
As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:
A path of inferences guided to be cherry picked as for which ones were reasonable and which ones had no ability in the real world to sustain in scientific law
