The final speed of the orange is 7.35 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the orange is a free fall motion, since there is only the force of gravity acting on it. Therefore, it is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=9.8 m/s^2$ towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time elapsed

For the orange in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Substituting t = 0.75 s, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the orange:

$v=0+(9.8)(0.75)=7.35 m/s$

QUESTION: A pure jet engine propels and aircraft at 340 m/s through air at 45 kPa and -13C. The inlet diameter of this engine is 1.6 m, the compressor pressure ratio is 13, and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 557C. Determine the velocity at the exit of this engines nozzle and the thrust produced.

ANSWER: Due to the propulsion from the inlet diameter of this engine bring 1.6 m allows the compressor rations to radiate allowing thrust propultion above all velocitic rebisomes.

Newer telephone circuits, built during the last decade, offer higher quality because they were built using analog transmission.

hammer [34]

Answer:

Well, newer telephone circuits built during the last decade are based on the digital transmission, not on the analog transmission. So it's the digital transmission circuit that has made the higher quality. Digital circuits converts the voice signals into the binary codes which is then translated again into the voice signal at the receiving end.

The answer is false.

<span>Technician a says that to prevent injuries in an auto accident, all steering columns have a break-off steering wheel. technician b says that to prevent injuries in an accident, all steering columns are now fitted with a flexible rubber tube. Both technicians are correct. The </span>vehicle manufacturers use break away steering column mounting brackets to protect the driver in an accident. The <span>vehicle manufacturers are required to use collapsible shafts in the steering column. </span>
