I believe that formula is incomplete, if it is derived from the kinematic equations.

The full formula being s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

where:

s is the displacement (or how far she travelled in your question)

u is the initial velocity, which I think can be assumed to be 0 m/s

t is the time taken which is 120 s

a is the acceleration due to gravity which points down in a negative y direction, which is -9.8 m/s^{2}

Since initial velocity, u, is assumed to be 0 m/s the equation becomes:

s=\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Substitute in a = -9.8m/s^{2}  and t = 120 s and calculate your answer.

Tell me what you calculate the answer to be (don't forget units) and I'll let you know if it's right.

A girl of mass 55 kg throws a ball of mass 0.80 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 25 m/s
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N

Explanation:

Given

Contact Time = t = 0.05 seconds

Mass (of ball) = 0.80kg

Initial Velocity = u = 25m/s

Final Velocity = 25m/s

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is given by;

F = ma

Where m = 0.8kg

a = Average Acceleration

a = (u + v)/t

a = (25 + 25)/0.05

a = 50/0.05

a = 1000m/s²

Average Force = Mass * Average Acceleration

Average Force = 0.8kg * 1000m/s²

Average Force = 800kgm/s²

Average Force = 800N

Hence, the magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is 800N

What is the weight of a feather (mass = 0.0001 kg) that floats through earth's and the moon's atmospheres?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.

The feather's weight is . . .

On Earth:  (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>

On the Moon:  (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>

The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference.  In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup.  Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth.  It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.

In a two-slit experiment using coherent light, the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.10 m, and the distance between
Paul [167]

Answer:

D) 763 nm

Explanation:

Calculation for the wavelength of light

Using this formula

Wavelength of light=Delta Y*Distance / Length

Where,

Delta Y represent the 2nd order bright fringe

Length represent the distance between both the slits and the screen

Distance represent the Distance between the slits

Let note that cm to m = (4.2) x 10^-2 and mm to m= ( 0.0400x 10^-3)

Now Let plug in the formula

Wavelength of light=[(4.2 x 10^-2m)(0.0400 x 10^-3m) / 2(1.1m)]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light=[(0.042m) (0.0004m)/2.2m]*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =(0.0000168m/2.2m)*10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =7.63 *10^-7 meters

Wavelength of light =763 nm

Therefore the Wavelength of light will be 763 nm

Which of the physical variables listed below will change when you change the area of the capacitor plates (while keeping the bat
RSB [31]

Answer:

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

Explanation:

Let A be the area of the capacitor plate

The capacitance of a capacitor is given as;

C = \frac{Q}{V} = \frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} \\\\

where;

V is the potential difference between the plates

The charge on the plates is given as;

Q = \frac{V\epsilon _0 A}{d}

The energy stored in the capacitor is given as;

E = \frac{1}{2} CV^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} )V^2

Thus, the physical variables listed that will change include;

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

A 70 ft rope hangs from a helicopter above this room. The rope has a mass per unit length of 2 lb/ft. In order to be rescued fro
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 70 ft

mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft

your mass, W = 120 lbs

mass of the 70 ft rope  = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft

                                         = 140 lbs.

Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs  + 140 lbs  

                                                                       = 260 lbs

The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;

W = Mgh

where;

g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²

h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft

W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s²  x 70 ft

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²

1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²  = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.
