Answer:

Velocity v= 12.25 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The first rock dropped give the distance Y in meters

Y_{f}=Y_{o}+v_{o}*t +\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}\\   Y_{f}=\frac{1}{2}* 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }* 3^{2}   \\Y_{f}=44.1 m

Now the motion of the second rock the time change so to know the velocity

Y_{f}= Y_{o} +v_{o}*t +\frac{1}{2}*a *t^{2} \\v_{o}*t= -Y_{f} +\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2} \\v_{o} =\frac{-44.1 +0.5 * 9.8* s^{2} }{2} \\v_{o}=  12.25 \frac{m}{s}

A concave mirror has a focal length of 13.5 cm. This mirror forms an image located 37.5 cm in front of the mirror. Find the magn
77julia77 [94]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Focal length of the concave mirror, f = -13.5 cm

Image distance, v = -37.5 cm (in front of mirror)

Let u is the object distance. It can be calculated using the mirror's formula as :

\dfrac{1}{v}+\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}-\dfrac{1}{v}

\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{(-13.5)}-\dfrac{1}{(-37.5)}

u = -21.09 cm

The magnification of the mirror is given by :

m=\dfrac{-v}{u}

m=\dfrac{-(-37.5)}{(-21.09)}

m = -1.77

So, the magnification produced by the mirror is (-1.77). Hence, this is the required solution.

Most of our Solar system is composed of___
Bond [772]

Answer:

empty space

Explanation:

Our solar system comprises of the sun as the star, the planets, the dwarf planets, various moons, and plenty of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. However, the majority part of the solar system consists of a void or empty space. These empty spaces basically composed of planetary dust and gas.

Hence, it can be concluded that Most of our Solar system is composed of "Empty Spaces."

Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed
Anni [7]
Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.

The box leaves position x=0x=0 with speed v0v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at posit
const2013 [10]

Answer:

fr = ½ m v₀²/x

Explanation:

This exercise the body must be on a ramp so that a component of the weight is counteracted by the friction force.

The best way to solve this exercise is to use the energy work theorem

            W = ΔK

Where work is defined as the product of force by distance

           W = fr x cos 180

The angle is because the friction force opposes the movement

          Δk =K_{f} –K₀

          ΔK = 0 - ½ m v₀²

We substitute

         - fr x = - ½ m v₀²      

           fr = ½ m v₀²/x

Why would it be desirable to use an energy resource that does not produce greenhouse gases ?
Dimas [21]

It be desirable to use an energy resource that does not produce greenhouse gases because it contribute to climate change .

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Greenhouse gases are the toxic gases that contribute to the "greenhouse effect". Greenhouse gases have the ability to absorb and emit some of the outgoing energy that is radiated by the Earth's surface, eventually causing the heat to get accumulated in the "lower atmosphere". It is always beneficial to use Renewable Energy sources such as Wind, solar and water which gives no harm to the environment and climate with no greenhouse gas emissions.  

<u>For example:</u> If we have to generate electricity, there will be no greenhouse gas production at the beginning and a very less amount of production at the entire life cycle.
