Answer:
107 m
Explanation:
Convert km/h to m/s:
128.4 km/h × (1000 m / km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 35.67 m/s
Distance = rate × time
d = 35.67 m/s × 3.0 s
d = 107 m
The distance you free-fall from rest is D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this
Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²
Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)
Height = (4.9/5.76) meters
Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)
Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change. It's constant. Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.
Answer:
P = 450 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a child, m = 18 kg
The vertical distance from the top to the bottom of the slide is 2.5 metres.
The Gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg
We need to find the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the child sliding from the top to the bottom of the slide.
The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :
P = mgh
Substituting all the values,
P = 18 kg × 10 m/s² × 2.5 m
P = 450 J
Hence, the decrease in gravitational potential energy is 450 J.
