Given Information:  

Acceleration of gravity = g = 9.8 m/s²

Time period = t = 3 seconds

Required Information:

velocity = v = ?

Answer:  

v = 29.4 m/s

Explanation:  

As we know the velocity of an object under free fall assuming that the object was initially at rest is given by

v = -gt

Where minus sign indicates that the object is moving downward

v = -9.8*3

v = -29.4 m/s

Therefore, the rock will be falling at the speed of 29.4 m/s after 3 seconds.

A 1502.7 kg car is traveling at 33.1 m/s when
Bond [772]

By definition of average acceleration,

<em>a</em> = (20 m/s - 33.1 m/s) / (4.7 s) ≈ -2.78 m/s²

Vertically, the car is in equilibrium, so the net force is equal to the friction force in the direction opposite the car's motion:

∑ <em>F</em> = (1502.7 kg) (-2.78 m/s²) ≈ -4188.38 N ≈ -4200 N

If you just want the magnitude, drop the negative sign.

Three importance of SI system​
diamong [38]

Answer:

Firstly they are, by design, easy to use in most scientific and engineering calculations; you only ever have to consider multiples of 10. If I’m given a measurement of 3.4 kilometres, I can instantly see that it’s 3′400 metres, or 0.0034 Megametres, or 3′400′000 millimetres. It’s not even necessary to use arithmetic, I just have to remember the definitions of the prefixes (“kilo” is a thousand, “megametre” is a million, “milli” is a thousandth) and shift the decimal point across to the left or the right. This is especially useful when we’re considering areas, speeds, energies, or other things that have multiple units; for instance,

1 metre^2 = (1000millimetre)^2 = 1000000 mm^2.

If we were to do an equivalent conversion in Imperial, we would have

1 mile^2 = (1760 yards)^2

and we immediately have to figure out what the square of 1760 is! However, the fact that SI is based on multiples of 10 has the downside that we can’t consider division by 3, 4, 8, or 12 very easily.

Secondly they are (mostly) defined in terms of things that are (or, that we believe to be) fundamental constants. The second is defined by a certain kind of radiation that comes from a caesium atom. The metre is defined in terms of the second and the speed of light. The kelvin is defined in terms of the triple point of water. The mole is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12. The candela is defined in terms of the light intensity you get from a very specific light source. The ampere is defined using the Lorentz force between two wires. The only exception is the kilogram, which is still defined by the mass of a very specific lump of metal in a vault in France (we’re still working on a good definition for that one).

Thirdly, most of the Imperial and US customary units are defined in terms of SI. Even if you’re not personally using SI, you are probably using equipment that was designed using SI.

7. The Voyager 1 space probe was launched in the 1970's and is now the furthest
NikAS [45]

Answer:

v = 16.98 km/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 4500 km

Time, t = 265 s

We need to find its average speed. The total distance covered divided by total time taken is called average speed of an object. So,

v=\dfrac{4500\ km}{265\ s}\\\\=16.98\ km/s

So, the average speed is 16.98 km/s.
