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

Physics

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

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e
ddd [48]

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

What can happen to solar radiation when it enters atmosphere​
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The solar radiation is first intercepted by Earth's atmosphere, just a small part of the radiation is absorbed by gases such as water vapor. Some of the radiation is reflected back to space by the clouds and Earth's surface.
