t = 1.3 s.

To solve this exercise we have to use the freefall equation t = (v-v₀)/g. v = 0 due the final velocity when the rock reach the ground is 0.

With v₀ = -12.5m/s and g = 9.8m/s²

t = -(-12.5m/s)/9.8m/s²

t = 1.3 s

If a polythene rod is rubbed with a dry cloth, what kind of charge would it gain? A) positive, due to extra protons. B) positive

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

D) negative, due to extra electrons.

Explanation:

The charge that would be gained will be negative charges due to extra electrons.

Electrons are usually lost or gained by bodies that comes in contact with one another.

They occupy the orbital space in an atom and are not strongly held by forces within the atom.

Protons cannot be lost in such manner. They occupy the nucleus and are bounded by strong chemical forces within it.

The polythene and rods are both made up of chemical substances whose units called atoms are made up of subatomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons. As with all kinds of matter, there would be pool of free electrons round them that can easily be rubbed off due to the weak attractive forces binding them in the atomic sphere.

When the polythene and rods are rubbed, there would be a loss of electrons and the gaining body, polythene becomes negatively charged.

A person driving her car at 43 km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow

siniylev [52]

Answer:

If she hits the brakes, she will travel 13m before stopping. If she hits the gas, she will travel 28 before the light turns red. She should try to stop

Explanation:

To know how far she will travel before stopping, we need to use a kinematic formula which initial final velocity (Vf), initial velocity (V0), acceleration (a) and distance traveled(x):

$V_{f}^{2}=V_{0} ^{2} +2ax$

The moment in which she stops is when the final velocity equals zero. In this case, initial velocity is 43km/h=12m/s, and its maximum deceleration is -5.4m/s^2. Plugging in these values and solving for x:

$0^2=(12m/s)^2+2(-5.4m/s)x\\x=13m$
