Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 9/3 = <em>3 m/s²</em> .

His mass makes no difference.

A stone is dropped from a cliff. What will be its speed when it was fallen 100 m?

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

final velocity will be44.72m/s

Explanation:

HEIGHT=h=100m

vi=0m/s

vf=?

g=10m/s²

by using third equation of motion for bodies under gravity

2gh=(vf)²-(vi)²

evaluating the formula

2(10m/s²)(100m)=vf²-(0m/s)²

2000m²/s²=vf²

√2000m²/s²=√vf²

44.72m/s=vf

A plane drops a hamper of medical supplies from a height of 5000 m during a practice run over the ocean. The plane’s horizontal

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

346.70015 m/s

Explanation:

In the x axis speed is

$v_x=149\ m/s$

In the y axis

$v_y=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v_y=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5000}$

The resultant velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{149^2+2\times 9.8\times 5000}\\\Rightarrow v=346.70015\ m/s$

The magnitude of the overall velocity of the hamper at the instant it strikes the surface of the ocean is 346.70015 m/s

Find the speed of light in each of the following materials. (a) gallium phosphide m/s (b) carbon disulfide m/s (c) benzene

Oksanka [162]

Explanation:

We need to calculate the speed of light in each materials

(I). Gallium phosphide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 3.50

Using formula of speed of light

$v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}$ ....(I)

Where, $\mu$ = index of refraction

c = speed of light

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{3.50}$

$v=8.6\times10^{7}\ m/s$

(II) Carbon disulfide,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.63

Put the value in the equation (I)

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.63}$

$v=1.8\times10^{8}\ m/s$

(III). Benzene,

The index of refraction of Gallium phosphide is 1.50

Put the value in the equation (I)

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.50}$

$v=2\times10^{8}\ m/s$

Hence, This is the required solution.
