Answer:

28 metres

Explanation:

when the bag is about to hit the ground

potential energy = kinetic energy

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

where m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

v = speed

when you simplify the above equation and make v subject of the formular we have

v=\sqrt{2gh}

where g = 9.8m/s

h = 40

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 40}=28m

An object starts from rest at the origin and moves along the x axis with a constant
Alika [10]

Answer:

6.9m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration of the object  = 4m/s²

Distance = from x; 2m to x; 8m

Unknown:

Average velocity  = ?

Solution:

From the given parameters, we use the right motion equation to solve the problem.

   v² = u² + 2aS

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

 S is the distance covered

 Distance  = 8m - 2m  = 6m

 Initial velocity  = 0m/s

The final velocity gives us the average velocity in this problem;

       v² = 0² + (2 x 4 x 6) = 48

      v = √48  = 6.9m/s

How does increasing the resistance affect the current
zepelin [54]
Ohm's law states that the electrical current (I) flowing in an circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Therefore, if the voltage is increased, the current will increase provided the resistance of the circuit does not change.
