Answer: 56.72 ft/s
Explanation:
Ok, initially we only have potential energy, that is equal to:
U =m*g*h
where g is the gravitational acceleration, m the mass and h the height.
h = 50ft and g = 32.17 ft/s^2
when the watermelon is near the ground, all the potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy can be written as:
K = (1/2)*m*v^2
where v is the velocity.
Then we have:
K = U
m*g*h = (m/2)*v^2
we solve it for v.
v = √(2g*h) = √(2*32.17*50) ft/s = 56.72 ft/s
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Becuase the average amu of 40 is represented
Correct choices are marked in bold:
travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces
travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light,
)
travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum
travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter
can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits
move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved
move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
