Larry drops a 5kg ball off of a building. The ball hits the ground 4.7s later. How tall is the building?

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

t = 4.7 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (4.7 s) + ½ (9.8 m/s²) (4.7 s)²

Δy ≈ 110 m

A ball of moist clay falls 15.0 m to the ground. It is in contact with the ground for 20.0 ms before stopping. (a) What is the m
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground or moving down

Explanation:

Vf² - Vo² = 2gS

where

Vf = velocity of clay as it hits the ground

Vo = initial velocity of clay = 0

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)

S = distance travelled by clay = 15 m

Substituting appropriate values,

Vf² - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)  

Vf = 17.15 m/sec.

Formula to use is,  

V - Vf = aT

where

V = velocity of clay when it stops = 0

Vf = 17.15 m/sec (as determined above)

a = acceleration

T = 20 ms  

Put the values to find acceleration

a=(V-Vf)/T

a=(0-17.15)/20

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground

How do prokaryotic cells replicate?
Alika [10]

Answer:

The usual method of prokaryote cell division is termed binary fission. The prokaryotic chromosome is a single DNA molecule that first replicates, then attaches each copy to a different part of the cell membrane. When the cell begins to pull apart, the replicate and original chromosomes are separated.

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

A 60 kg person sits in a chair. How much does the earth pull on the person? (Acceleration due to gravity is -10m/s2) F = mxa → F
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Explanations

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Mas of the person = 60kg

Acceleration due to gravity = -10m/s²

To get the earths pull on the person, we will use the Newton second law of motion;

Force = mass * acceleration;

Force = 60 * -10

Force- -600N

<em>Hence the earth gravitational pull on the person is 600N(downwards). It is downwards due to the negative sign.</em>
