Answer: 76.44m/s

Explanation:

The watermelon is falling under gravity with negligible air resistance.

Therefore the equation of free falling objects for velocity is given by:

V2= V1 + gt

But V1=0m/s because the watermelon started from rest at the top of Effiel tower.

V2= 0 + (9.9m/s × 7.80seconds)

V2= 0 + 76.44

V2= 76.44m/s

Gravity increases the speed of a falling object by 9.8 m/s for
every second that it falls.  If the object fell from rest (zero m/s),
then after 7.8 seconds, its speed was

             (7.8 sec) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  76.44 m/s  .

A 1.00-kg mass is attatched to a string 1.0m long and completes a horizontal circle in 0.25s. What is the centripetal accelerati
liraira [26]

-- The string is 1 m long.  That's the radius of the circle that the mass is
traveling in.  The circumference of the circle is  (π) x (2R) = 2π meters .

-- The speed of the mass is (2π meters) / (0.25 sec) = 8π m/s .

-- Centripetal acceleration is  V²/R = (8π m/s)² / (1 m) = 64π^2 m/s²

-- Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (1kg) x (64π^2 m/s²) =

                                                         64π^2 kg-m/s² = 64π^2 N = about <span>631.7 N .

</span>
That's it.  It takes roughly a 142-pound pull on the string to keep
1 kilogram revolving at a 1-meter radius 4 times a second !<span> 
</span>
If you eased up on the string, the kilogram could keep revolving
in the same circle, but not as fast.

You also need to be very careful with this experiment, and use a string
that can hold up to a couple hundred pounds of tension without snapping. 
If you've got that thing spinning at 4 times per second and the string breaks,
you've suddenly got a wild kilogram flying away from the circle in a straight
line, at 8π meters per second ... about 56 miles per hour !  This could definitely
be hazardous to the health of anybody who's been watching you and wondering
what you're doing.

A car travels along a straight road to the east for
Korvikt [17]

Answer: 90 m/s, 70 m/s

Explanation:

Given

A car travels 100 m  east for 4 seconds and then turn around

goes back west for 50m  in 1 sec

Distance traveled in the east is 100\times 4=400\ m

Distance traveled in the west is 50\times 1=50\ m

Total distance=400+50=450\ m

total displacement=400-50=350\ m

total time t=4+1=5\ s

Average speed

\Rightarrow s_{avg}=\dfrac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}=\dfrac{450}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow s_{avg}=90\ m/s

Average velocity

\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{\text{displacement}}{\text{time}}=\dfrac{350}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow v_{avg}=70\ m/s

Draw an atom of Aluminum, use your book to find the Atomic number and the mass.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Solution

The atomic number of iodine (53) tells us that a neutral iodine atom contains 53 protons in its nucleus and 53 electrons outside its nucleus. Because the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons equals the mass number, 127, the number of neutrons is 74 (127 − 53 = 74). Since the iodine is added as a 1− anion, the number of electrons is 54 [53 – (1–) = 54].
