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 ?

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  .

A bicycle rider travels 50.0 km in 2.5 hours. Determine the cyclists average speed.
k0ka [10]
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer can be easily deduced.

Distance traveled by the bicycle rider = 50 km
Time taken to travel the distance = 2.5 hours
So
In 2.5 hours the bicycle rider travels = 50 km
Then
In 1 hour the bicycle rider travels = 50/2.5
                                                     = 20 km
Then the average speed of the cyclist is 20 km per hour.

Can someone please help me​
mario62 [17]

Answer:

GE = ME - \frac{1}{2} m\,v^2,  which agrees with option C in your list.

Explanation:

The definition of Mechanical Energy (ME) of a system is the addition of the gravitational potential energy (GE) plus the kinetic energy (KE) of the system:

ME = GE + KE

Given that the KE is: \frac{1}{2} m\,v^2,

solving for GE in the formula above gives:

GE = ME - KE = ME - \frac{1}{2} m\,v^2,  which agrees with option C

How do scientists decide how they gather information
kogti [31]
The scientific method. When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.
