Answer:

1.03 seconds

Explanation:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 7.63 + (-2.40) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 7.63 - 2.40 t - 4.9 t²

Solve with quadratic formula:

t = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a

t = [ 2.40 ± √(2.40² - 4(-4.9)(7.63)) ] / -9.8

t = -1.52, 1.03

Since t can't be negative here, the sandbag hits the ground after 1.03 seconds.

7. If the impact of the golf club on the ball in the previous question occurs over a time of 2 x 10 seconds, what
Kruka [31]

Answer:

3.65 x mass

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 20s

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Final velocity  = 73m/s

Unknown:

Force the ball experience  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the equation from newton's second law of motion:

    F  =  m \frac{v  - u}{t}  

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

 t is the time taken

So;

  F  = m (\frac{73 - 0}{20} )  = 3.65 x mass

If the retina is 1.7 cm from the lens in the eye, how large is the image on the retina of a person of height 1.5 m standing 9.0
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The image height is 0.00283 m or 0.283 cm and is inverted due to the negative sign

Explanation:

u = Object distance =  9 m

v = Image distance = 1.7 cm (as the image is forming on the retina)

h_u= Object height = 1.5 m

Magnification

m=-\frac{v}{u}=\frac{h_v}{h_u}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{v}{u}=\frac{h_v}{h_u}\\\Rightarrow -\frac{0.017}{9}=\frac{h_v}{1.5}\\\Rightarrow h_v=-0.00283\ m

The image height is 0.00283 m or 0.283 cm and is inverted due to the negative sign
