Answer:
1.59 seconds
12.3 meters
but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.
Explanation:
This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.
Time
<u>Given</u>
a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.
d = 20 m
v = 12.6 m/s
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi * t + 1/2at^2
<u>Solution</u>
Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to
d = vi * t
20 = 12.6 * t
t = 20 / 12.6
t = 1.59 seconds.
It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground
Height of the building
<u>Givens</u>
t = 1.59 sec
vi = 0 Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0
a = 9.8 m/s^2 The acceleration is vertical.
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
<u>Solution</u>
d = 1/2 a*t^2
d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2
d = 12.3 meters.
The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)
The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.
When one body(sun) exerts a force on a second body(planet), the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the first body. Which makes the planet orbit in path C.
Hope this helps!!
A frog can be many different colours. It appears green under normal 'white' light because it absorbs all the other colours in the light's spectrum apart from green. It reflects the green light back and that is picked up by your eye.
If the light is red, there is no green in the spectrum of the light, only red. So, the red light will be absorbed and there is no green to be reflected back for you to see. Therefore, the frog will not look green.
