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

Which best explains how an object at rest deep in space and far from any massive body behaves compared to an object in free fall
7nadin3 [17]

Answer: They behave the same because, according to the principle of equivalence, the laws of physics work the same in all frames of reference.

Explanation:

According to the equivalence principle postulated by Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, acceleration in space and gravity on Earth have the same effects on objects.

To understand it better, regarding to the equivalence principle, Einstein formulated the following:  

A gravitational force and an acceleration in the opposite direction are equivalent, both have indistinguishable effects.  Because the laws of physics must be accomplished in all frames of reference.

Hence, according to general relativity, gravitational force and acceleration in the opposite direction (an object in free fall, for example) have the same effect.  This makes sense if we deal with gravity not as a mysterious atractive force but as a geometric effect of matter on spacetime that causes its deformation.

Diane swim 5 kilometers against the current in the same amout of time it took her to swim 15 kilometers with the current . The r
lidiya [134]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

suppose 's' is Diane's speed with no current.

't' represents time in hrs.

Using the formula:

Distance = speed 's' x time 't'

-> when she swims against the current, equation will be,

5= (s-2)t

t= 5/(s-2)

->when she was swimming with the current, equation is,

15= (s+2) t

t= 15/(s+2)

equating eq(1) and (2)

5/(s-2) = 15/(s+2)

5s + 10 = 15s - 30

40= 10s

s= 40/10

s=4

Therefore, if there were no current, her speed is 4km/hr

If a 2 cm vector represents speed, and 1 cm equals 5 m/s, how fast is the represented
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: 10m/s

Explanation: Since a single vector with length of 1cm expresses 5m/s, the vector which has a length doubled from the original vector should have the speed which is also doubled.
