The Grand Canyon is 1800 meters deep at its deepest point. A rock is dropped from the rim above this point. Write the height of
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

height of grand canyon is h=1800\ m

Rock is dropped i.e. initial velocity is zero

u=0

Using Equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

h=height

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

here a=acceleration due to gravity

1800=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

t^2=\frac{2\times 1800}{9.8}

t=19.166\ s

What is the atomic weight of a penny?
Gnom [1K]
I actually know the answer to this one, you use pennies to find the atomic weight of a penny, it really doesn't have a weight. LOL

A constant force is exerted on a cart that is initially at rest on a frictionless air track. The force acts for a short time int
Inessa05 [86]

Let <em>F</em> be the magnitude of the force applied to the cart, <em>m</em> the mass of the cart, and <em>a</em> the acceleration it undergoes. After time <em>t</em>, the cart accelerates from rest <em>v</em>₀ = 0 to a final velocity <em>v</em>. By Newton's second law, the first push applies an acceleration of

<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>   →   <em>a</em> = <em>F </em>/ <em>m</em>

so that the cart's final speed is

<em>v</em> = <em>v</em>₀ + <em>a</em> <em>t</em>

<em>v</em> = (<em>F</em> / <em>m</em>) <em>t</em>

<em />

If we force is halved, so is the accleration:

<em>a</em> = <em>F</em> / <em>m</em>   →   <em>a</em>/2 = <em>F</em> / (2<em>m</em>)

So, in order to get the cart up to the same speed <em>v</em> as before, you need to double the time interval <em>t</em> to 2<em>t</em>, since that would give

(<em>F</em> / (2<em>m</em>)) (2<em>t</em>) = (<em>F</em> / <em>m</em>) <em>t</em> = <em>v</em>

Why is Vy negative and not positive because I solved it and it resulted in a positive number?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Explanation:

You are given the initial velocity, the displacement, and the acceleration.  You're looking for the final velocity.  So you use the equation:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

When you solve for v, you take the square root.  Your calculator will return a positive answer, but there are actually two possible answers: positive and negative.

v = ±√(v₀² + 2aΔy)

You must use the physical context of the problem.  If we take up to be the positive direction, then v must be negative, since the projectile is moving down.
