<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)

When attempting to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction, why is it necessary to move the block with constant velocity
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to measure the coefficient of friction , we apply external force to move the body . When external force comes in motion , we adjust the external force so that it moves with zero acceleration or uniform velocity . In this case external force becomes equal to kinetic frictional force and then net force becomes zero because

net force = mass x acceleration = m x 0 = 0

Now frictional force = μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction

so F = μ mg where F is external force applied

μ = F / mg

Hence , to make external force equal to frictional force , it is necessary to make acceleration of body zero .

Assume it takes 5.00 minutes to fill a 50.0-gal gasoline tank. (1 U.S. gal = 231 in.3).
dolphi86 [110]

               (50 gal / 5 min) x (.0037854 m³/gal) x (1 min / 60 sec)

         =    (50 · 0.0037854 · 1) / (5 · 60)          m³/sec

         =                  0.000631  m³/sec

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on
sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.  

                                     C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

                                     C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

                   tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h

The table below lists the speed that sound travels through four different materials.One of these materials is a gas, two are liq
Firdavs [7]

In order to find the solid, you would want the object in which sound travels the fastest

In this case, since in object C, the speed of sound is the fastest, it is the most likely to be a solid

So object C is most likely to be a solid
