A supply bag is dropped from a rescue plane. After the bag falls for 3.2 seconds , what is the velocity of the bag?

Physics

Answer: -31.36 m/s

Explanation:

This is a problem of motion in one direction (specifically vertical motion), and the equation that best fulfills this approach is:

V_{f}=V_{o}+a.t  (1)

Where:

V_{f} is the final velocity of the supply bag

V_{o}=0 is the initial velocity of the supply bag (we know it is zero because we are told it was "dropped", this means it goes to ground in free fall)

a=g=-9.8m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity (the negtive sign indicates the gravity is downwards, in the direction of the center of the Earth)

t=3.2s is the time

Knowing this, let's solve (1):

V_{f}=0+(-9.8m/s^{2})(3.2s)  (2)

Finally:

V_{f}=-31.36m/s  Note the negative sign is because the direction of the bag is downwards as well.

Explain why in the construction of a lightning conductor one end is made into a sharp point​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A lightning conductor is made up of a sharp pointed metal (usually copper metal, as it is a very good conductor) connected directly to the ground. ... The lightning conductor is placed higher than the roof so that if lightning strikes, it strikes the conductor before it can reach the house.

Suppose you hit a 0.058-kg tennis ball so that the ball then moves with an acceleration of 10 m/s2. If you were to hit a basketb
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 m/s²

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma ............ Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

Given: m = 0.058 kg, a = 10 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.058(10)

F = 0.58 N.

If the same force was used to hit the baseball,

F = m'a

a = F/m'.............. Equation 2

Where M' = mass of the baseball.

Given: F = 0.58 N, m' = 0.58 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

a = 0.58/0.58

a = 1 m/s²
