The horizontal speed has no effect on the answer. 

It doesn't matter whether you flick a marble horizontally from the roof,
fire a high-power rifle horizontally from the roof, drive a school bus straight
off the roof, or drop a bowling ball from the roof with zero horizontal speed. 
Their vertical speed is completely determined by gravity, (and it happens to
be the same for all of them).

Handy dandy formula for the distance covered by anything that starts out
with zero speed and accelerates to the end:

            Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) x (time)²

If the beginning of the journey is on Earth, then the acceleration is
9.8 m/s² ... the acceleration of gravity on Earth.  We'll assume that
the 55-meter rooftop in the question is part of a building on Earth.

                       55 meters  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) x (time)²           

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :            55 m / 4.9 m/s²  =  (time)²

                                 (time)²  =  (55/4.9)  sec²

Square-root
each side:                time  =  √(55/4.9 sec²)

                                           =      3.35 sec  .

what is the density of a substance that has a mass of 2.0 g , and when placed in a graduated cylinder the volume changed from 70
lubasha [3.4K]

A material with a mass of 2.0 g when placed in a graduated cylinder the volume changed from 70 ml to 75 ml has a density of 0.4 g/mL.

How do I calculate the substance's density?

We'll start by getting the substance's volume. This is attainable as follows:

Water volume: 70 mL

75 mL = volume of material + water.

Substance volume =?

Substance volume equals (substance volume plus water) - (Volume of water)

Substance volume = 75 - 70

5 mL is the substance's volume.

Finally, we will calculate the substance's density. Below is an example to help:

2.0 g is the substance's mass.

5 mL is the substance's volume.

Substance density =?

Mass / volume equals density.

Substance density = 2/5

0.4 g/mL is the substance's density.

The density is therefore 0.4 g/mL.

Where coastal rock is softer, waves erode the land faster ​
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Headlands and bays are created where there are bands of hard and soft rock which meet the coastline at right angles. Softer rock is eroded more quickly and erodes backwards to form bays (which may have beaches). The harder rocks are more resistant to erosion and jut out into the sea to form exposed headlands

For the potential , determine the number of bound states?A)6 b)4 c) 3 d) 1
s2008m [1.1K]

Do you see that blank, open space after the word "potential ..." ?

There's supposed to be a number there that actually tells us the value of the potential.  Without that number ... and a lot more description of the whole scenario here ... there's no possible answer to the question.
