Answer:

    x_total = 600 m

Explanation:

This is an exercise and kinematics, let's find the time it takes to reach the velocity  20 m / s

          v = v₀ + a t

           

as part of rest v₀ = 0

          t = v / a

          t = 20/2

          t = 10 s

let's find the distance traveled in this time

          x₁ = vo t + ½ a t2

          x₁ = 0 + ½ 2 10²

          x₁ = 100 m

The remaining time is

          t₂ = 35 - t

          t₂ = 35 - 10

          t₂ = 25 s

as in this range it has a constant speed

          v = x₂ / t₂

          x₂ = v t₂

          x₂ = 20  25

          x₂ = 500 m

the total distance traveled is

           x_total = x₁ + x₂

           x_total = 100 + 500

           x_total = 600 m

disa [49]

Answer : False.

Explanation : Acid rain is the indirect result of burning fossil fuels. As the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels releases sulfur dioxide and nitrous dioxide in the air. When it rains it gets mixed with water and forms nitric acid and sulfuric acid which causes acid rain. Acid rain is harmful.

To measure the height of a building without a ruler or tape measure, an engineer drops a rock off the top of the building and fi
serg [7]

The relevant equation we can use in this problem is:

h = v0 t + 0.5 g t^2

where h is height, v0 is initial velocity, t is time, g is gravity

 

Since it was stated that the rock was drop, so it was free fall and v0 = 0, therefore:

h = 0 + 0.5 * 9.81 m/s^2 * (4.9 s)^2

<span>h = 117.77 m</span>
