Answer:

B. 68.6m

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

We know the egg takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. The height it was launched from is

$\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(3.474)^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=68.54\ m$

The closest correct option is

B. 68.6m

A temperature of 200 degrees F is equivalent to approximately

Ann [662]

(1) Changing Fahrenheit to Celsius:
The formula used to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius is as follows:
C = (F - 32) * 5/9
We are given that F=200, substitute in the above formula to get the corresponding temperature in Celsius as follows:
C = (200-32) * (5/9) = 93.333334 degrees Celsius

(2) Changing the Fahrenheit to kelvin:
The formula used to convert from Fahrenheit to kelvin is as follows:
K = (F - 32) * 5/9 + 273.15
We are given that F = 200. substitute in the above formula to get the corresponding temperature in kelvin as follows:
K = (200-32)*(5/9) + 273.15 = 366.483334 degrees kelvin
