The book's vertical position in the air is

y=78.4\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2

where g=9.80\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}. It reaches the ground when y=0, at a time t such that

0=78.4\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2\implies t=4.00\,\mathrm s

So it takes the book 4 seconds to reach the bottom. The given initial velocity is irrelevant since it only has a horizontal component; vertically, the book is starting from rest.

1. Which of the following statements best describes matter?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass

Explanation:

The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.

Matter can be in three different states also:

- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move

- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other

- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other

A box slides downwards at a constant velocity on an inclined surface that has a coefficient of friction uK = .58 The angle of th
mojhsa [17]

Answer: The angle of inclination is nearly 30°

Explanation:

For a body on an inclined plane, the coefficient of friction between the body and the plane is equal to the ratio of the moving force applied to the body to the frictional force acting on the body.

If uK coefficient of friction;

Fm is the moving force

R is the normal reaction on the body

Mathematically uK = Fm/R

Fm = WSin(theta)

R = Wcos(theta)

uK = Wsin(theta)/Wcos(theta)

uK = tan(theta)

theta = arctan(uK)

If uK is 0.58

theta = arctan0.58

theta = 30°

The angle of the inclined will be 30°
