Explanation:

It is given that, the height of a certain tower is 862 feet i.e to reach on the ground the object should travel, s = 862 feet

The distance traveled by a freely falling object is given by :

s(t)=16t^2

16t^2=862

t=\sqrt{53.875}

t = 7.34 seconds

So, the object will take 7.34 seconds to fall to the ground from the top of the​ building. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1369.4 kg car is traveling at 28.9 m/s when the driver takes his foot off the gas pedal. It takes 5.1 s for the car to slow do
Darya [45]

Answer:

F = 2389.603 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass m = 1,369.4 kg

Initial velocity u = 28.9 m/s

Final velocity v = 20 m/s

Time t = 5.1 s

Find:

Net force

Computation:

a = (v - u)/t

a = (20 - 28.9)/5.1

a = -1.745 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1369.4)(1.745)

F = 2389.603 N

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.
