A 1.5 kg orange falls from a tree and hits the ground in 0.75s. What is the speed of the orange just before it hits the ground?
1 answer:
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 towards the ground. So we can use the following suvat equation:
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)
is the acceleration
Substituting t = 0.75 s, we find the final velocity (and speed) of the orange:

First, when the student added the layers of wax over each other, this became a representation of sedimentary rocks.
Then the student folded his/her palm and squeezed the layers of wax. This means that the student applied heat and pressure on the wax (sedimentary rocks)
Referring to the diagram below which represents the rock cycle, we will find that applying heat and pressure on sedimentary rocks would convert these rocks into metamorphic rocks.
Based on the above, the best choice would be:
