A heavy object is dropped from a vertical height of 8.0 m. What is its speed when it hits the ground?

What do you know:
d=-8.0mm (starts higher and ends lower so it is negative)
Vi=0m/s (because it was dropped, not thrown)
A=-9.8m/s^2 (gravity)
Vf=???
Use the equation:
Vf^2=Vi^2+2A(d)
Vf^2=2(-9.8)(-8.0)
Vf^2= 156.8 -->find the square root of this
Final answer: Vf= 12.5m/s

How should ready-to-eat food be stored after it has cooled?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The answer is most likely C.

Ready-to-eat foods are stored at the top of the fridge, away from raw foods so that harmful bacteria cannot transfer from the raw food to the cooked food. Raw meat, poultry and fish in sealed containers to stop them touching or dripping onto other foods.

a wave in the ocean has an amplitude of 3m. Winds pick up suddenly, increasing the wave's amplitude to 6m. How does this change
Paha777 [63]

Answer

Hi,

An increase in amplitude from 3m to 6 m increases the energy it transports. The frequency of the wave is not affected

Explanation

Amplitude is the height of a wave where as frequency is the number of waves that pass by each second. A wave with bigger amplitude has more energy than a wave with smaller amplitude. A point where more waves pass contains more energy that is transferred every second. The change in the amplitude of a wave does not change its frequency. However, frequency is inversely related to the wavelength of a wave.

Best Wishes!

a girl that has a mass of 55kg is standing on a floor, how much supporting force does the floor have?
KengaRu [80]
A girl standing on a floor would have two opposite forces acting on it. These forces are the weight and the normal force. Since no other forces are acting and that the girl is at rest, then the weight must equate to the normal force. Therefore, the supporting force would be:

F = mg = 55kg (9.81 m/s^2) = 539.55 N

A rocket of mass m is to be launched fromplanet X, which has a mass M and a radius R. What is the minimum speed that the rocket
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The minimum speed = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

Explanation:

The minimum speed that the rocket must have for it to escape into space is called its escape velocity. If the speed is not attained, the gravitational pull of the planet would pull down the rocket back to its surface. Thus the launch would not be successful.

The minimum speed can be determined by;

                      Escape velocity = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where: G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet X, and R is its radius.

If the appropriate values of the variables are substituted into the expression, the value of the minimum speed required can be determined.
