To measure the height of a building without a ruler or tape measure, an engineer drops a rock off the top of the building and fi
serg [7]

The relevant equation we can use in this problem is:

h = v0 t + 0.5 g t^2

where h is height, v0 is initial velocity, t is time, g is gravity

 

Since it was stated that the rock was drop, so it was free fall and v0 = 0, therefore:

h = 0 + 0.5 * 9.81 m/s^2 * (4.9 s)^2

<span>h = 117.77 m</span>

Suppose that the sun shrank in size but that its mass remained the same. What would happen to the orbit of the earth?
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Nothing

Explanation:

The radius of the orbit of the Earth does not depend on the radius of the sun.

In fact, the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Sun provides the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in orbit:

G\frac{Mm}{r^2} = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the sun

m is the mass of the Earth

r is the radius of the orbit of the Earth

v is the orbital speed of the earth

Re-arranging the equation for r:

r=\frac{GM}{v^2}

Also,

v=\omega r

where \omega is the angular velocity of the Earth's orbit. So we can rewrite the equation as

r=\frac{GM}{\omega^2 r^2}\\r^3 = \frac{GM}{\omega^2}

As we see, the radius of the orbit of the Earth, r, does not depend on the mass of the Sun, so if the sun shrank in size, the orbit remains the same.

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. the eastbound train travels at 85 miles per
kakasveta [241]
<span>Since the trains area headed in completely opposite directions, the rate at which they gain distance from each other is simply equal to the sum of the magnitudes of their velocities, in this case 85 + 75 = 160 miles per hour. Therefore, the amount of time it will take for them to be 352 miles apart is 352/160 = 2.2 hours, or 2 hours and 12 minutes.</span>
