Answer:

C. 78.4 m/s

Explanation:

Kinematic analysis

Because the stone moves with uniformly accelerated movement in free fall we apply the following formula:

vf= v₀+gt Formula (1)

Where:  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

g: acceleration  due to gravity in m/s²

Data

t = 8s

v₀= 0  

g= 9,8 m/s²

Problem development

We replace data in formula (1) to calculate the final velocity of the stone:

vf= v₀+gt

vf= 0+(9.8)(8)

vf= 78.4 m/s

Determine the angle of an incline that would yield a constant velocity, given the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.10.
azamat

Answer:

\theta=5.71^{o}

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by drawing a free body diagram of the given situation (See attached picture).

From the free body diagram we can now do a sum of forces in the x and y direction. Let's start with the y-direction:

\sum F_{y}=0

-W_{y}+N=0

N=W_{y}

so:

N=mgcos(\theta)

now we can go ahead and do a sum of forces in the x-direction:

\sum F_{x}=0

the sum of forces in x is 0 because it's moving at a constant speed.

-f+W_{x}=0

-\mu_{k}N+mg sen(\theta)=0

-\mu_{k}mg cos(\theta)+mg sen(\theta)=0

so now we solve for theta. We can start by factoring mg so we get:

mg(-\mu_{k} cos(\theta)+sen(\theta))=0

we can divide both sides into mg so we get:

-\mu_{k} cos(\theta)+sen(\theta)=0

this tells us that the problem is independent of the mass of the object.

\mu_{k} cos(\theta)=sen(\theta)

we now divide both sides of the equation into cos(\theta) so we get:

\mu_{k}=\frac{sen(\theta)}{cos(\theta)}

\mu_{k}=tan(\theta)

so we now take the inverse function of tan to get:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\mu_{k})

so now we can find our angle:

\theta=tan^{-1}(0.10)

so

\theta=5.71^{o}

Go outside on a clear night, wait 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dark, and look carefully at the brightest stars. Som
Elden [556K]

Answer:

blue star is hotter than red

Explanation:

The colour of a star depends on its temperature.

Lesser the temperature means lesser be the energetic. less energy means longer wavelength. Between blue and red, red colour has longer wavelength. So, the red colored star is colder than blue coloured star.

Blue coloured star is hotter than red coloured star.

The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to _______ meters per second squared.
AfilCa [17]
I think the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. The acceleration of gravity is a constant equal to 9.8 meters per second squared.  You can see that all things fall at this rate if there is no air resistance in a system or when in a vacuum.
