Answer:
If the mass of a car is 1200 kg, and the mass of the driver is 65 kg, the total combined mass of the car and driver expressed with the correct number of significant figures is 1265 kg.
The distance an object falls, from rest, in gravity is
D = (1/2) (G) (T²)
'T' is the number seconds it falls.
In this problem,
0.92 meter = (1/2) (9.8) (T²)
Divide each side by 4.9 : 0.92 / 4.9 = T²
Take the square root
of each side: √(0.92/4.9) = T
0.433 sec = T
The horizontal speed doesn't make a bit of difference in
how long it takes to reach the floor. BUT ... if you want to
know how far from the table the pencil lands, you can find
that with the horizontal speed.
The pencil is in the air for 0.433 second.
In that time, it travels
(0.433s) x (1.4 m/s) = 0.606 meter
from the edge of the table.
Uniform velocity means no Net force and therefore no acceleration. Acceleration only happens when the velocity changes.
Yes, it is diffusion !
Diffusion is the process in which gas, through random movement of particles, tends to fill up the whole volume of the container in which it is placed. So a similar process would lead the smoke, which is in form of gas (or light particles), to fill in the whole room in which it is contained.
