The rider's horizontal motion, and how much ground he covers before he hits it, have nothing to do with how long he takes to hit the ground.  The problem is simply:  "How long does it take an object to fall 1.12 m from rest ?"

This seems like a good time to use this formula:

Distance fallen from rest = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)²

The problem doesn't tell us what planet the skateboarder is exercising  on. I'm going to assume it's on Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  And now, here's the solution to the problem I just invented:

1.12 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²

Time²  = (1.12 m) / (9.8 m/s²)

Time²  = 0.1143 sec²

Time = √(0.1143 sec² )

<em>Time = 0.34 second</em>

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.

Explain a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesn’t change.
Serga [27]
"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up.  It also doesn't mean
slowing down.  Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.

The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.

Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.

A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):

-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun
