Answer:

17.69 m

Explanation:

The time it takes the brick to strike the ground is 1.90 seconds.

We can apply one of Newton's equation of linear motion to find the height of the building:

s = ut + 0.5gt^2

where s = distance (in this case height)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s

t = time = 1.90 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore:

s = (0 * 1.9) + (0.5 * 9.8 * 1.9 * 1.9)

s = 0 + 17.68

s = 17.69 m

The height of the building is 17.69 m.

How do I solve such problem???
labwork [276]

1).  Calculate how long it takes an object to fall 4,000 m after it's dropped. (Use D = (1/2) (g) (T²) .  D is 4,000 m.  g = 9.8 m/s².  Find T .)

2).  Calculate how far the object will move HORIZONTALLY in that length of time, if it's moving at 75 m/s.  (Distance = (75 m/s) x (time) . )

Help please<br> It’s kinda urgent
user100 [1]

Answer:

a = - 50 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we simply have to replace the values supplied in the given equation.

Vf = final velocity = 0.5 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 10 [m/s]

s = distance = 100 [m]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Now replacing we have:

(0.5)^{2}-(10)^{2} = 2*a*(100)\\0.25-10000=200*a\\200*a=-9999.75\\a =-50 [m/s^{2} ]

The negative sign of acceleration means that the ship slows down its velocity in order to land.

Cellular phones use _____?
dangina [55]
Let's see: frequency of cellular phone waves (GSM phones) is (800-1900 MHz). If we look at the table of the electromagnetic spectrum, we can see that this range is contained within the frequencies of the microwaves, which include waves in the range 300 MHz-300 GHz.

So, summarizing, the correct answer is "microwaves".

What is the saturated zone
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Saturated zone is area below the water table in which the soil is completely saturated with groundwater.

Explanation:

The saturated zone lies below the ground. It is mainly the lower zone of rock along with the water table where pore spaces are completely filled with water. Even the saturated zone is sometimes separated into 2 subzones: the phreatic zone and the capillary fringe.

The area where pores spaces are not saturated with water is also unsaturated zone. Localized saturated zones can occur within the unsaturated zone. The unsaturated zone lies above the groundwater table.

An object at rest on a flat, horizontal surface explodes into two fragments, one seven times as massive as the other. The heavie
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

One fragment is 7 times heavier than the other

Let one fragment mass be M

Let this has a velocity v

And the other 7M

And this a velocity V

Initially the fragment is at rest u = 0

Applying conservation of momentum

Momentum is given as p=mv

Initial momentum = final momentum

Po = Pf

(M+7M) × 0 = 7M •V − Mv

0 = 7M•V - Mv

Divide both sides by M

0 = 7V -v

v = 7V

Since friction decelerates the masses to zero speed, we can calculate the NET work on the individual blocks and relate this quantity to the change in kinetic energy of each block

The workdone by the 7M mass is

Distance moved by 7M mass is 6.8m, Then, d =6.8m

W = fr × d

Where fr = µkN

When N=W =mg, where m=7M

N= 7Mg

fr = −µk × 7mg

Then, W(7m) = −7µk•Mg×d

W(7m) = −7µk•Mg×6.8

W(7m) = −47.6 µk•Mg

Then, same procedure,

Let distance move by the small mass be m

Work done by M mass

W(m) = −µk•Mg×d'

Since it is a wordone by friction, that is why we have a negative sign.

Using conservation of energy

Work done by 7M mass is equal to work done by M mass

W(7m) = W(m)

−47.6 µk•Mg = −µk•Mg×d

Then, M, g and µk cancels out

We are left with

-46.7 = -d

Then, d = 46.7m
