Galileo Galilei was the first scientist to perform experiments in order to test his ideas. He was also the first astronomer to systematically observe the skies with a telescope.

IMA stands for ideal mechanical advantage, which is the theoretical force amplification factor on an ideal mechanical device free of friction, deformations, etc.
If the applied force (effort) is 50N, then the force applied to the resistance is multiplied by the IMA=2 to get 100N.
In this question, you're determining the time (t) taken for an object to fall from a distance (d).
The equation to represent this is:
Time equals the square root of 2 times the distance divided by the gravitational force of earth.
In equation from it looks like this (there isn't an icon to represent square root so just pretend like there's a square root there):
t = 2d/g (square-rooted)
d = 8,848m and g = 9.8m/s
Now plug in the information we have:
t = 2 x 8,848m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)
The first step is to multiply 2 times 8,848m:
t = 17,696m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)
Now divide 9.8m/s by 17,696m (note that the two m's (meters) cancels out leaving you with only s (seconds):
t = 1805.72s (square-rooted)
Now for the last step, find the square root of the remaining number:
t = 42.5s
So the time it takes the ball to drop from the height (distance) of 8,848 meters, and falling with the gravitational pull of 9.8 meters per second is 42.5 seconds.
I hope this helps :)
Measure the length of one side and then cube the answer. So if x represents the measurement of one side, x³ will give you the volume.
Answer: 
Explanation:
where;
= final velocity = 0
= initial velocity = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s
= acceleration
= distance
First all of, because acceleration is given in m/s and not km/h, you need to convert 60km/h to m/s. Our conversion factors here are 1km = 1000m and 1h = 3600s
Solve for a;
Begin by subtracting 
Divide by 2d
Now plug in your values:
If you're wondering why I calculated acceleration first is because in order to find force, we need 2 things: mass and acceleration.
m = mass = 900kg
a = acceleration = -2.78m/s
It's negative because the force has to be applied in the opposite direction that the car is moving.
