How long will it take an object to hit the ground if it is dropped from a hight of 176.4 meters ​

Physics

Oliga [24]3 years ago
5 0

There's a short handy formula for that.

If the object is just dropped and not tossed, and it's not affected by air resistance on the way down, then the distance it falls in T seconds is

D = (1/2) (gravity) (T²)

For this problem . . .

176.4 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (T²)

Divide each side by  (4.9 m/s²) :

T² = (176.4 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

T² = (36 s²)

Take the square root of each side:

<em>T = 6 seconds</em>

A student fires a cannonball horizontally with a speed of 39m/s from a height of
GREYUIT [131]

Explanation:

The initial horizontal speed is 39 m/s, and the initial vertical speed is 0 m/s.

v₀ₓ = 39 m/s

v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s

In the y direction:

Δy = 73 m

v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s

aᵧ = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧt²

73 = 0 + ½ (9.8) t²

t = 3.9 s

In the x direction:

v₀ₓ = 39 m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

t = 3.9 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓt²

Δx = (39) (3.9) + 0

Δx = 150 m

How does the size of a wind turbine affect its energy output?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Larger tubines generate more electricity.

Explanation:

Larger blades allow the turbine to capture more of the kinetic energy of the wind by moving more air through the rotors. However, larger blades require more space and higher wind speeds to operate. This distance is necessary to avoid interference between turbines, which decreases the power output.

A car moving 20 km/h skids 30 m with locked brakes. how far will the car skid with locked breaks if it were traveling at 100 km/
Inessa05 [86]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

Since the 'speed' in the KE formula is squared, if the car's speed
increases by 5 times, its kinetic energy increases by (5²) = 25 times.

The loss of kinetic energy in a skid is just the wo0rk done by friction
between the tires and pavement.  So the skid distance is proportional
to the initial kinetic energy, and the car must skid 25 times as far when
it enters the skid at the higher speed.

         25 x 30m  =  750 meters

A person with a mass of 15kg is walking uphill at a velocity of2m/s. What is the walker's momentum?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

30 kgm/s

Explanation:

The momentum of a body is given by the product of mass and  its velocity.

∴ momentum = mv

                        = 15 × 2

                        = 30 kgm/s
