A drowsy cat spots a flowerpot that sails first up and then down past an open window. the pot was in view for a total of 0.49 s,

and the top-to-bottom height of the window is 1.80 m. how high above the window top did the flowerpot go?

For this case, let's assume that the pot spends exactly half of its time going up, and half going down, i.e. it is visible upward for 0.245 s and downward for 0.245 s. Let us take the bottom of the window to be zero on a vertical axis pointing upward. All calculations will be made in reference to this coordinate system. <span>

An initial condition has been supplied by the problem: 

s=1.80m when t=0.245s 

<span>This means that it takes the pot 0.245 seconds to travel upward 1.8m. Knowing that the gravitational acceleration acts downward constantly at 9.81m/s^2, and based on this information we can use the formula:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) 

to solve for v, the initial velocity of the pot as it enters the cat's view through the window. Substituting and solving (note that gravitational acceleration is negative since this is opposite our coordinate orientation): 

(1.8m)=(v)(0.245s)+(1/2)(-9.81m/s^2)(0.245s)^2 

v=8.549m/s 

<span>Now we know the initial velocity of the pot right when it enters the view of the window. We know that at the apex of its flight, the pot's velocity will be v=0, and using this piece of information we can use the kinematic equation:

(v final)=(v initial)+(a)(t) 

to solve for the time it will take for the pot to reach the apex of its flight. Because (v final)=0, this equation will look like 

0=(v)+(a)(t) 

Substituting and solving for t: 

0=(8.549m/s)+(-9.81m/s^2)(t) 

t=0.8714s 

<span>Using this information and the kinematic equation we can find the total height of the pot’s flight:

s=(v)(t)+(1/2)(a)(t^2) </span></span></span></span>

s=8.549m/s (0.8714s)-0.5(9.81m/s^2)(0.8714s)^2

s=3.725m<span>

This distance is measured from the bottom of the window, and so we will need to subtract 1.80m from it to find the distance from the top of the window: 

3.725m – 1.8m=1.925m</span>

 

Answer:

<span>1.925m</span>

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A) Force

Explanation:

It is an example of force since force is a vector quantity so it has magnitude and direction. In this case the magnitude is equal to 5 [N] and the direction is upward.

The weight can not be, as it always acts downward.

Mass is not a force, its unit is given usually in kilogram [kg]

The 5.5 million vinyl long-playing (LP) records sold in the United States per year pales in comparison with the 1.26 billion dig
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

decline

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that these types of firms are in the decline stage of the product life cycle. This stage refers to when a product has already passed it's peak potential and sales begin to decline until production is ultimately halted and the product dies off. Which is exactly what is happening to the LP's since everyone has moved on to digital downloads.

I need help, ASAP, I know what thermal energy is, but how does a skater use it when on the track?
Flauer [41]

Answer: Looked it up but

Explanation:

When the skater lands on the track, the vertical component of his kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy. You can do experiments where there is no loss to thermal energy (only PE and KE conversions) by turning friction off and by making sure the skater doesn't leave the track.

A strong man and a weak man are trying to carry a ladder . How should they carry it in such a way that the weak person feels les
dsp73

Answer:

The strong person should carry the ladder at the  front end and the weak person should carry it at the back end.

Explanation:

this is because in such a case the strong person has to pull the ladder whereas the weak person at the back end have to push the ladder. In such case it is easier to push because the weak person can use the force of gravity of his own body for pushing the ladde.

However in case of pulling the ladder one has to overcome his own gravity to pull the heavy object
