<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)

A boat of mass 225 kg drifts along a river at a speed of 21 m/s to the west. what impulse is required to decrease the speed of t
zzz [600]
The impulse required to decrease the speed of the boat is equal to the variation of momentum of the boat:
J=\Delta p=m \Delta v
where
m=225 kg is the mass of the boat
\Delta v=v_f-v_i=15 m/s-21 m/s=-6 m/s is the variation of velocity of the boat
By substituting the numbers into the first equation, we find the impulse:
J=m\Delta v=(225 kg)(-6 m/s)=-1350 N s
and the negative sign means the direction of the impulse is against the direction of motion of the boat.

Explain in terms of impulse how padding reduces forces in a collision. State this in terms of a real example, such as the advant
Lena [83]

Answer:

Impulse = Average force x time of contact

Explanation:

Impulsive force is a force which is very large but applied on a body for a very small duration of time.

Impulse is given by the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = Average force x small time interval

When padding is there, the time interval of contact is large and thus, the force exerted by the body is small.

So, when a person falls on the tile floor, there is no compression and thus, the time of contact is very small and thus the impulsive force is very large, due to  which the body may damage.

So, when a person falls on the carpeted floor, there is a compression and thus, the time of contact is comparatively large and thus the impulsive force is small, due to  which the body may safe.

What cause-and-effect relationship is described in this
nydimaria [60]

The term cause and effect relationship relates to a situation where an effect is directly traceable to a cause.

<h3>What is cause and effect relationship?</h3>

The term cause and effect relationship relates to a situation where an effect is directly traceable to a cause. The question is incomplete and the article was not mentioned.

A typical example of cause and effect relationship is that increased fossil  fuel use is leading to a rise in the average temperature of the planet.

Label these parts on the wave below: Amplitude, Wavelength, Crest, Trough, Rest Position
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Wavelength is the distance between from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough. The amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the crest or trough. Crest is the highest point of the or a wave. Tough is the lowest point of the or a wave. Rest position is the position where it lies on the midpoint line.

Explanation:

I need a diagram to label these parts.
