You drop a rock down a well that is 11.5 m deep.How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well ?

1 answer:

4 0

The acceleration of gravity depends on the distance from
the center of the Earth. We use 9.8 m/s² for any place that's
on the Earth's surface, or reasonably close. The 11.5 meters
down into the well certainly qualifies.

The formula we want is:

Distance of fall = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

      11.5 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²

Divide each side
by 4.9 m/s² : (11.5m) / (4.9 m/s²) = time²

   2.347 sec² = time²

   time = √(2.347 sec²) =   1.53 seconds .

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.

atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

$\boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}$

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

m = 0.3 kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = 15 m
PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}$

Replace and solve:

$\boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}$

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is <u>44.1 Joules.</u>

Greetings.

To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newt

Firdavs [7]

Answer: A.E.

Explanation: To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newton's law of gravitation. The concepts of mass and weight are often confused. In fact, in everyday conversations, the word "weight" often replaces "mass," as in "My weight is seventy-five kilograms"
