Imagine a raindrop starting from rest in a cloud 2 km in the air. If it fell with no air friction at all, it would accelerate to

ward the ground with gravitational acceleration of 9.8m/s2. What would the speed of the drop be when it reached the ground? Convert your answer into miles per hour.
1) 212 mph
2) 433 mph
3) 774 mph
4) 72.5 mph

Answer:

2) 433 mph

Explanation:

The final velocity of the raindrop as it reaches the ground can be found by using the equation for a uniformly accelerated motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2ad

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the raindrop starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

d = 2 km = 2000 m is the distance covered

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2gd}=\sqrt{0^2+2(9.8 m/s^2)(2000)}=198 m/s

And keeping in mind that

1 mile = 1609 metres

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed converted into miles per hour is

v=198 \frac{m}{s}\cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1609 m/mi}=433 mph

List five rules of golf etiquette. Explain the correct stance, grip, orientation, and parts of a swing.
Verizon [17]
- keep you eyes on the ball, after you hit the ball you look up, you have to see the club hit the ball

- your grip it really matters on what your comfortable with but first you put your left hand on the club then put your right hand below your left hand, then put your right pinky on top of your index finger, but you can inter lock your pinky and index finger

- DON'T HIT AT THE BALL HIT THREW THE BALL

- parts of the swing, can be pretty tricky to explain, but I'll try my best to explain it, okay so a golf swing is like a pendulum, you swing right to left. Once you lift the club to the right you still look down at the ball. After swimming to the right your have to hit the ball with your right hand strength, in order the ball to fly.

- the way you do your grip defines if the ball will go straight or not. But also the way you swing towards the ball also defines how far the ball is going to go.
