A plant box falls from the windowsill 25.0 m above the sidewalk and hits the cement 3.0 s later. What is the box's velocity when

Answer:

22m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity we employ the equation of free fall: v²=u²+2gh

where u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity h is the height, v is the velocity the moment it hits the ground, taking the direction towards gravity as positive.

Substituting for the values in the question we get:

v²=2×9.8m/s²×25m

v²=490m²/s²

v=22.14m/s which can be approximated to 22m/s

In a related practical activity, 2 litres of a gas were heated from 35 °C to 75 °C. If the pressure was kept constant, calculate
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

2.26l

Explanation:

From the general gas equation:

P1V1/T1  = P2V2/T2

Since pressure remained constant we can say:

V1/T1  = V2/T2

so to convert to kelvin add 273 to both temperature values then we can say:

1 m^3= 1000 L

2l=0.002m^3

Then;

0.002/308=V/348

V=(0.002/308)348

Final volume=0.002259m^3

=2.6l(1 decimal place)

Which is a characteristic of projectile motion?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
<h2>Right answer: It follows a curved path </h2>

The movement of a projectile is a movement in two dimensions (forming a curved path: a parabola shape) with <u>constant acceleration. </u>

<u> </u>

A projectile is any body or object that is thrown or projected by means of some force and continues in motion by its own inertia. This means the only force that acts on it while in motion is <u>the acceleration of gravity</u> (in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).  

Where gravity influences the <u>vertical movement</u> of the projectile, while <u>the horizontal movement</u> of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object to remain in motion at a constant speed (according to Newton's 1st law of motion sometimes called Law of Inertia).

The other options are <u>incorrect</u> because are <u>false</u>:

-The forward motion negates air resistance: There is always at least a small percent of air resistance, as long as that movement is done on Earth.  

-It has variable acceleration: In projectile motion acceleration is constant (gravity acceleration) .

-It is unaffected by gravity: The only force that acts on the projectile is due gravity.

Two balls are dropped from rest and allowed to fall. If one ball is allowed to fall for 1 s and the other for 3 s compare the di
kirill115 [55]

The second ball traveled a greater distance when compared to the first ball because the second ball spent more time in motion.

The given parameters;

  • time of fall of the first ball, t = 1 s
  • time of fall of the second ball, t = 3 s

The distance traveled by each ball is calculated using the second equation of motion as shown below.

The distance traveled by the first ball is calculated as follows;

h = u_0t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 + \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = (0.5\times 9.8\times 1^2)\\\\h = 4.9 \ m

The distance traveled by the second ball is calculated as follows;

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = (0.5\times 9.8\times 3^2)\\\\h = 44.1\ m

Thus, the second ball traveled a greater distance because it spent more time in motion.
