Answer:
<em>The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.</em>
Explanation:
<u>Free Fall Motion</u>
If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:
And the distance traveled downwards is:
If we know the height at which the object was dropped, we can calculate the time it takes to reach the ground by solving the last equation for t:
Replacing into the first equation:
Rationalizing:
Let's call v1 the final speed of the package dropped from a height H. Thus:
Let v2 be the final speed of the package dropped from a height 4H. Thus:
Taking out the square root of 4:
Dividing v2/v1 we can compare the final speeds:
Simplifying:
The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.
Answer:
E) The average velocity of the car is 90.0 miles per hour in the direction of motion.
Explanation:
Given;
distance covered by the car, d = 90 miles
time taken, t = 60 minutes = 1 hour
The average velocity of the car is given by change in displacement per change in time;
V = Δd / Δt
Therefore, the average velocity of the car is 90.0 miles per hour in the direction of motion.
