<span>2.856s Distance traveled under constant acceleration as a function of time is given by x=(gt^2)/2 where g is the acceleration and t is time. In this case acceleration is due to gravity and is 9.81m/s^2. The distance of interest is x=40m. Substituting and solving 40=(9.81*t^2 )/ 2 80 = 9.81*t^2 8.1549 = t^2 2.856s = t</span>

H = 40 m, the height from which the ball is dropped.
m = 1 kg, the mass of the ball

Assume g = 9.8 m/s² and neglect air resistance.

The initial vertical velocity is zero.
If t = the time of flight, then
40 m = (1/2)*g*(t s)² = 0.5*9.8*t²
t² = 40/4.9 = 8.1633
t = 2.857 s

Answer:  2.9 s (nearest tenth)

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial reading on scale =40 N

So, we can conclude that weight of the sack is 40 N

After this a 10 N force is applied upward on the sack such that the net force becomes (40-10) N downward (because downward force is more)

This net downward force is the resultant of earth graviational pull and the applied upward force.

So, this downward force acts on the machine which inturn applies an upaward force of same magnitude called Normal reaction.

This situation can be diagramatically represented by figure given below

Use V=Voe^-t/RC and T=RC to derive T1/2=Tln2
Ksju [112]
Enclosed is some guidance algebra.I find this q a little confusing. It quotes "RC" which usually makes me think of electrical circuits and time constants based on converting calculating RC value and equating that to t for one time constant then 2RC for two time constants etc. The theory being that after 5 time constants - 5RC - a circuit is stable. BUT, this q then goes on to mention HALF LIFE. The curves for both half life and time constant are both exponential, as in the number e to the power of something, but the algebra is slightly different. I hope my algebra is ok.
