A stone is thrown straight up from the edge of a roof, 925 feet above the ground, at a speed of 20 feet per second. Remembering

that the acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet per second squared, how high is the stone 6 seconds later?

<h2>Answer: 469 feet</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

Where:

y is the height of the stone at 6s (the value we want to find)

y_{o}=925ft is the initial height of the stone

V_{o}=20ft/s is the initial velocity of the stone

t=6s is the time  at which we need to find the height

g=32ft/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity

Having this clear, let's find y from (1):

y=925ft+(20ft/s)(6s)-\frac{1}{2}(32ft/s^{2})(6s)^{2} (2)

Finally:

y=469ft This is the height of the stone at t=6s

A very small tilt in Earth’s axis would likely cause ____.
olchik [2.2K]
If the Earth's axis were closer to "straight up and down" than
the present 23.5°, then . . .

-- The areas around the north and south poles where the sun
can be up or down for more than 24 hours would be smaller.

-- The "Tropic Zone", between the Tropic of Cancer and the
Tropic of Capricorn, where it's possible for the sun to be
directly overhead, would be narrower.

-- There would be less difference, everywhere, between the
lengths of daylight on the "longest day" and the "shortest day"
of the year.

-- The seasons would be less extreme everywhere.  There would
be less difference, everywhere, between the coldest part of the
Winter and the warmest part of the Summer.

Consider two parallel wires carrying current in the same direction. Which one of the following statements is true concerning thi
Sedbober [7]

Answer:A the two wire will attract each other

Explanation:

When current is flowing in a wire it is surrounded by magnetic field whose direction can be given by right hand thumb rule.

If current is in direction of your thumb then wrapping of fingers will give the direction of magnetic field.

If two wires with current in same direction flows then the combined  magnetic field will be constructive in nature and thus they attract each other.

force on second wire due to first wire is

F_{21}=I_2\vec{L_2}\times B_1 which will be towards the first wire

Given this graph plotting velocity versus time, estimate the acceleration of object A at points X and Y respectively.
swat32

Point X lies on a horizontal line. We can intuitively say that the slope of the graph at point X is 0, therefore the acceleration at point X is 0m/s²

Point Y lies on a downward slanting line. To calculate the slope of that line, let's apply this equation:

m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

m = slope, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) correspond to the coordinates of the line's endpoints.

Given values:

(x₁, y₁) = (7, 5)

(x₂, y₂) = (12, 0)

Plug in and solve for m:

m = (0 - 5)/(12 - 7)

m = -1

The acceleration at point Y is -1m/s²

Choice A
