The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.
After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).
Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.
Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.
ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.
Answer:
23. 4375 m
Explanation:
There are two parts of the rocket's motion
1 ) accelerating (assume it goes upto h1 height )
using motion equations upwards
Lets find the velocity after 2.5 seconds (V1)
V = U +at
V1 = 0 +5*2.5 = 12.5 m/s
2) motion under gravity (assume it goes upto h2 height )
now there no acceleration from the rocket. it is now subjected to the gravity
using motion equations upwards (assuming g= 10m/s² downwards)
V²= U² +2as
0 = 12.5²+2*(-10)*h2
h2 = 7.8125 m
maximum height = h1 + h2
= 15.625 + 7.8125
= 23. 4375 m
Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.
Explanation:
P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake, the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.
Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.

The oldest lunar rock samples are approximately 4.4 billion years old and composed of anorthosite, a mineral that crystallizes and rises to the top of a lava ocean.
