Assuming that the stone is thrown vertically... let's say it's a 1 kg stone.It doesn't matter if it's thrown upwards or downwards as (assuming no air friction) it will pass the original throwing point with the same downwards velocity as it had upwards, 3 seconds previously. So it starts with 1/2 m v^2 = 0.5 * 1 * 15^2 = 112.5 J of keThen k.e. gained = gpe lostk.e. gained = m g h = 1 * 10 * 50 = 500 J of Ke gainedso the final (total) ke is 612.5 J which = 1/2 m v^2 = 0.5 v^2 here
so 0.5 v^2 = 612.5so     v^2    = 1225so v = 35 m/s

An acorn falls from a tree. Its velocity just before it hits the ground is 28.2 m/s, downward. (acceleration of gravity is 9.81m
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

12.74 ms^-1 download

Explanation:

v=28.2, a=9.81

start from rest u=0

v=u+at=0+(9.81)t=28.2

t=2.875...

it reach 1.4 second before hitting the ground:

t=1.4, u=0, a=9.81

v=u+at=0+(9.81)(1.4)=12.74

Describe a technology used in space exploration.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

High speed optical communication technology

To be able to communicate from the space to the earth and from earth to space is one of the most essential features required during space exploration.

Explanation:

Space exploration involves going into the space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Landing on other planets and studying their details, going into deeper space beyond the planets to discover new cosmic events or structures is all a part of space exploration.

The key to analyse the studies and observations is being able to communicate the data collected, photos taken etc to the launch centers or space centers on earth. The space centers on earth should also be able to communicate with the persons or the satellites in space.

This is made possible using the optical communication technology which involves the use of optical fibers, lasers etc, since high speeds are more efficient during communication
