We're missing one essential piece of information that we need in order to answer this question.  You have not specified <em>what planet</em> the object is falling on.  The answer depends on the gravitational acceleration on that planet, and they're all different.

Without that information, we'll just go ahead and assume that the object is falling to the surface of the Earth.  Wherever on Earth this tense drama is unfolding, the acceleration of gravity is going to be around <em>9.8 m/s²</em> everywhere.

So THAT's the object's acceleration if there is no air resistance.  The object's MASS makes no difference.  It doesn't matter whether the object is a sparrow feather or a school bus. Heavier objects DO NOT fall faster than light objects.

If there is no air resistance, then ALL objects fall with the same acceleration.    It's called the "acceleration of gravity" on that planet or moon, and you can easily look it up.  It's 9.8 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon, 3.71 m/s² on Mars, 8.87 m/s² on Venus, and 24.8 m/s² on Jupiter.

The velocity of penguin as he ends where he started was 0 m/s.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is the length of straight line joining the initial and final position of the body.

Given is a penguin who waddled 8 m uphill before sliding back down to its friends in 2 seconds.

We know that the velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. Mathematically -

v = dx/dt

dx = v dt

∫dx = ∫v dt

Δx = vΔt

v = Δx/Δt

Now, the displacement of the penguin will be = Δx = 8 - 8 = 0

Then, its velocity will be -

v = 0/Δt = 0

Therefore, the velocity of penguin as he ends where he started was 0 m/s.

Which wave must have a medium to travel?
o-na [289]

Letter B

without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.

A plane traveled west for 4.0 hours and covered a distance of 4,400 meters what’s the velocity
tatuchka [14]

0.31m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of travel = 4hrs = 4 x 60 x 60 = 14400s

Displacement  = 4400m due west

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is defined as the displacement  per unit of time. It is expressed in m/s or km/hr:

     Velocity =  \frac{displacement}{time}

     Velocity =   \frac{4400}{14400} = 0.31m/s

vekshin1
A uniform thin solid door has height 2.20 m, width .870 m, and mass 23.0 kg. Find its moment of inertia for rotation on its hinges. Is any piece of data unnecessary? So far, I don't understand how to calculate moments of inertia for things like this at all. I can do a system of particles, but when it comes to any ridgid objects, such as this door or rods or cylinders, I don't get it. So basically I have no idea where to even start with this.
