1. The topography (relief) of an area can influence the weather and climate, for example being close to water can make for a milder climate while areas in the mountains are more likely to have extreme weather and can act as a barrier to air movement or water.
2. Bodies of water can affect a climate because water heats and cools slower than land meaning that coastal areas will stay cooler in summer. Water will create a moderate climate with a narrow temperature range.
Answer:
0.71 m/s
Explanation:
We find the time it takes the stone to hit the water.
Using y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of bridge, u = initial speed of stone = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative since it is directed downwards)and t = time it takes the stone to hit the water surface.
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
y = ut - 1/2gt²
82.2 m = (0m/s)t - 1/2( -9.8 m/s²)t²
82.2 m = 0 + (4.9 m/s²)t²
82.2 m = (4.9 m/s²)t²
t² = 82.2 m/4.9 m/s²
t² = 16.78 s²
t = √16.78 s²
t = 4.1 s
This is also the time it takes the raft to move from 5.04 m before the bridge to 2.13 m before the bridge. So, the distance moved by the raft in time t = 4.1 s is 5.04 m - 2.13 m = 2.91 m.
Since speed = distance/time, the raft's speed v = 2.91 m/4.1 s = 0.71 m/s
Answer:
Air resistance is pushing up on the parachute and force of gravity is pulling down so she slows down. This increases friction which slows free fall down. So when the skydiver reaches terminal velocity, the force of gravity is balance by air resistance. But when the forces are balance, there is no acceleration.
Answer:
The answer to your question is: t = 2.5 s
Explanation:
Data
vo = 30 m/s
a = -12 m/s2
t = ?
vf = 0 m/s
Formula
vf = vo + at
Substitution
0 m/s = 30 + (-12)t
Solve it for t -30 = -12t
t = -30 / -12
t = 30/12 = 15/6 = 5/2
t = 2.5 s
