Here's a formula that's simple and useful, and if you're really in
high school physics, I'd be surprised if you haven't see it before.
This one is so simple and useful that I'd suggest memorizing it,
so it's always in your toolbox.
This formula tells how far an object travels in how much time,
when it's accelerating:
Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (Time²).
D = 1/2 A T²
For your student who dropped an object out of the window,
Distance = 19.6 m
Acceleration = gravity = 9.8 m/s²
D = 1/2 G T²
19.6 = 4.9 T²
Divide each side by 4.9 : 4 = T²
Square root each side: 2 = T
When an object is dropped in Earth gravity,
it takes 2 seconds to fall the first 19.6 meters.
Answer:
h = 23.716 m
Explanation:
Given that,
The time taken by the stone to hit the water is, t = 2.2 s
Height of the bridge above the ground, h = ?
The distance that the body will fall through the time is given by the formula
S = 1/2 gt² m
Where,
g - acceleration due to gravity
Substituting the values in the above equation
S = 1/2 x 9.8 m/s² x (2.2 s)²
= 23.716 m
Therefore, the height of the bridge from the surface of the water is h = 23.716 m
Answer:
Work done is 0.
Explanation:
Given that,
The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m, r = 18 m
Centripetal force, F = 12 N
In the circular path, the centripetal force is always perpendicular to the motion of the object. Thus it makes an angle of 90 degrees with the force and displacement. Hence, we can say that the centripetal force does not do any work on the toy when it follows its orbit for one cycle.
The answer is 2.49 x 10^5 KJ. This was obtained (1) use the formula for specific heat to achieve Q or heat then (2) get the energy to melt the copper lastly (3) Subtract both work and the total energy required to completely melt the copper bar is achieved.
Answer:
Explanation:
5p - 14 = 8p + 4
5p = 8p + 18 <-- Moving constants to one side; add the same number of +14 to both sides.
-3p = 18. <-- The same thing with the variable itself.
p = -6 <-- Divide both sides by negative 3.
