What is the distance covered by a Freely falling object 5 seconds after being dropped ? After 6 seconds?

This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:

D = 1/2 A T²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often.  You really should memorize it.  And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)

The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth.  Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .

In 5 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)

D = 122.5 meters


In 6 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)

D = 176 meters

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The maximum height is 2881.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = 29.4 m/s²

Time = 7.00 s

We need to calculate the distance

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value into the formula

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times29.4\times7^2

s=720.3\ m

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity

v=a\times t

Put the value into the formula

v=29.4\times7

v=205.8\ m/s

We need to calculate the height

Using formula of height

H=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

Put the value into the formula

H=\dfrac{(205.8)^2}{2\times9.8}

H=2160.9\ m

We need to calculate the maximum height

Using formula for maximum height

H'=H+s

Put the value into the formula

H'=2160.9+720.3

H'=2881.2\ m

Hence, The maximum height is 2881.2 m.

The magnitude of the magnetic flux through the surface of a circular plate is 5.90 10-5 T · m2 when it is placed in a region of
valkas [14]

Answer:

The strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the magnetic flux , Φ = 5.90 x 10⁻⁵ T·m²

angle of inclination of the field, θ = 42.0°

radius of the circular plate, r = 8.50 cm = 0.085 m

Generally magnetic flux in a uniform magnetic field is given as;

Φ = BACosθ

where;

B is the strength of the magnetic field

A is the area of the circular plate

Area of the circular plate:

A = πr²

A = π (0.085)² = 0.0227 m²

The strength of the magnetic field:

B = Φ / ACosθ

B = ( 5.90 x 10⁻⁵) / ( 0.0227 x Cos42)

B = 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Rocket engineers use newton's third law during launch. identify the action force.
rosijanka [135]
The answer is A. Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A rocket exerts a large force on the gas that is in the rocket chamber (action). The gas thus exerts a large reaction force forward on the rocket (reaction). The large reaction force is called thrust.
