Given parameters:
Initial velocity of Coin = 0m/s
Time taken before coin hits ground = 5.7s
Unknown:
Final velocity of the coin = ?
Velocity is displacement with time. To solve this problem, we have to apply one of the equations of motion.
The fitting one of them here is shown below;
V = U + gt
where;
V is the final velocity
U is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity
t is the time taken
Here we use positive value of acceleration due to gravity because the coin is falling with the effect of acceleration and not against it.
Now input the parameters and solve;
V = 0 + 9.81 x 5.7
V = 55.917m/s
Therefore, the final velocity is 55.917m/s.
Answer: The level of CO2 has risen.
Explanation:
From the table shown, we can see that the quantity of CO₂ in the atmosphere has steadily risen since the year 1960 going from 317 CO₂PPM in that year to 390 CO₂PPM in 2010.
This is a cause for alarm because with so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there will be an even greater greenhouse effect that will contribute to global warming.
The amount of energy before and after any energy transformations remain the same because energy cannot be created or destroyed. From the law conservation of energy; any time energy is transferred between two objects, or converted from one form into another, no energy is created and none is destroyed. The total amount of energy involved in the process remains the same.
It would be: Activation Energy = 300 KJ
Hope this helps!
