Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m

The distance between two stations is 180 km. A train takes 2 hours to cover this distance. The speed of the train in m/sec is...
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Av = 25 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of speed, which is defined as the relationship between distance over time. for this case we have.

Av=\frac{distance}{time}

where:

Av = speed [km/h] or [m/s]

distance = 180 [km]

time = 2 [hr]

Therefore the speed is equal to:

Av = \frac{180}{2} \\Av = 90 [km/h]

Now we must convert from kilometers per hour to meters per second

90[\frac{km}{h}]*1000[\frac{m}{1km}]*1[\frac{h}{3600s} ]= 25 [m/s]

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?
Leno4ka [110]
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.

An object, initially at rest, moves 250 m in 17 s. What is its acceleration?
mash [69]

Answer:

1.73 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 250 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 17 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

250 m = (0 m/s) (17 s) + ½ a (17 s)²

a = 1.73 m/s²

A rock thrown with speed 8.50 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 19.0 m bef
frez [133]
Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem as shown below.

The vertical component of the launch velocity is
v = (8.5 m/s)*sin30° = 4.25 m/s
The horizontal component of the launch velocity is
8.5*cos30° = 7.361 m/s

Assume that aerodynamic resistance may be ignored.
Because the horizontal distance traveled is 19 m, the time of travel is
t = 19/7.361 = 2.581 s

The downward vertical travel is modeled by
h = (-4.25 m/s)*(2.581 s) + 0.5*(9.8 m/s²)*(2.581 s)²
   = 21.675 m

Answer: The height is 21.7 m (nearest tenth)

Rasek [7]

Answer:

0.65  kg*m/s and 0.165 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 0.5kg

initial velolcity u=1.3m/s

final velocity v= 0.97m/s

Required

The change in momentum

Step two:

We know that the expression for impulse is given as

Ft= mv

Ft= 0.5*1.3

Ft= 0.65  kg*m/s

The expression for the change in momentum is given as

P= mΔv

substitute

Pt= 0.5*(1.3-0.97)

Pt= 0.5*0.33

Pt=0.165 kg*m/s
