Answer:

1.) h = 164.8 m

2.) U = 49.1 m/s

3.) t = 1.43 seconds

Explanation:

1.) A soccer ball is dropped from the top of a building. It takes 5.8 seconds to fall to the ground. The height of the building is...? 

Since the soccer ball is dropped from the building, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero

Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Substitutes the time into the formula

h = 1/2 × 9.8 × 5.8^2

h = 164.8 m

2. The Falcon 9 launches to a height of 123 meters. What is its vertical initial velocity?

At maximum height final velocity = 0

Using the third law of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 123

U^2 = 2410.8

U = 49.1 m/s

3. An apple falls from rest off a 10.m m tree. How long will it take before it hits the ground?

Since the apple fall from rest, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero

Using the second equation of motion,

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

substitute all the parameters into the formula

10 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

10 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 10/4.9

t^2 = 2.04

t = 1.43 seconds

What type of tide occurs on a full moon or a new moon?
DIA [1.3K]
Spring tides will occur during a full moon and an new moon. The sun and moon are on a certain angle causing these tides to be neap tides, they aren't high tide nor are they low tides so you would verbalize they are in between and that is why it is called neap tides as well.

The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °c. at higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be
Scilla [17]
   <span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.
-------------------
I hope this is helpful. </span>

Is it possible to accelerate while moving constant speed
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object which experiences either a change in the magnitude or the direction of the velocity vector can be said to be accelerating. This explains why an object moving in a circle at constant speed can be said to accelerate - the direction of the velocity changes.

Can You help me understand how to calculate net force please
VladimirAG [237]
To start off.. add any and all the vectors acting on the same axis (x and y), making sure to pay attention to the director of the vectors. you are often able to ignore many of the forces that cancel each other out. make sure to focus on the forces that are actualy involved in how the object will move. Then you calculate the net force acting on the object in the situation
Since nothing is happening along the y-axis, you can ignore the Fg (300N)and FN (20N) forces.

FNET = Fa + Ff

= 80N + -70N

FNET = 10N

you have to make the friction a negative force
because it is pointing in the direction opposite to the applied force.

When you want to calculate the acceleration of an object, always use the net force acting on it.

you aren’t subtracting the two forces.
Instead, it’s up to you to remember that if one of the forces is pointing in one direction (like to the right), and the other force is pointing in the other direction (like to the left), you will need to make one positive and the other negative.

i don’t really know how to explain this super well. i hope this helps!!
