At 10 m/s, it will take
  (2 m)/(10 m/s) = 0.2 s
to bridge the gap.

_____
However, it will take an additional 0.514 seconds (0.714 s total) for the policeman to land on the building below. The answer depends on the meaning of the question.

The drag force on a falling coffee filter can be modeled as a linear function with respect to velocity, F⃗ D =−bv, where b is a
nordsb [41]

Newton's second law and graphical analysis allow us to find the correct answer for the measure of the constant b is:

    D) Stack several filters to change the mass measure the acceleration of the system.

Newton's second law establishes a relationship between the net force, the mass and the acceleration of the bodies.  

         ∑ F = m a

Where the bold letters indicate vectors, F is the force, m the mass and the acceleration of the body.

They indicate that the drag force on the filters is

         F = - b v

Where b is a positive constant that depends on the shape and area of ​​the filter and v is the speed of the filter.

Let's write Newton's second law.

         W - fr  = ma

         W -bv  = ma

         

In the experiment the students indicate that they can measure the position, velocity and acceleration of the body.

Based on the above, if we place several filter weights and measure their speed and acceleration in each case, we can make a graph of velocity versus acceleration, we can take the value of the constant b from the slope.

Let's analyze the different answers:

A) False. The constant b depends on the shape of the filter therefore it must be kept constant.

B) False. The constant depends on the area, so it must be kept constant.

C) May be. In this case, since we have the terminal velocity, the acceleration is zero, Newton's second law remains.

                    B v - W = 0

                    b = \frac{W}{v}  

The problem with the method is the difficulty of measuring the compression terminal velocity.

D) True. According to the discussion of the velocity versus acceleration. graph, the constant b is equal to the slope of the graph.

E) May be. The problem with this method is finding a reliable value for the terminal velocity.

In conclusion, using Newton's second law and graphical analysis we can find the correct answer for the measure of the constant b is:

 D) Stack several filters to change the mass measure the acceleration of the system.

Earth can be modeled with five layers based on the strengths and physical properties of the materials in them. Put the layers in
andre [41]

Answer:

Crust, Upper mantle, mantle, outer core, inner core

Explanation:

The Earth's layers have been clasified in 5 according to the materials that conform them, theri physical properties, strengths and also their state of matter. We all know how the outer layer of the Earth looks like, but if we start to dig a huge hole we are going to see different types por materials due to a change in pressure, temperature, and other factors. At the very center of the Earth there's what's called "core". The core is liquid and at extremely high temperatures. This is because of the enormous amount of pressure the rest of the Earth is putting it under. So, if we list the different layers of the Earth according to the materials they are made of, from the Earth's surface to the core, the answer is:

1) Crust (surface)

2) Upper Mantle

3) Mantle

4) Outer core

5) Inner core

In some books you may find a layer called Lithosphere. Tis layer consists not only of the crust, but also it contains the transition zone between the upper mantle and the crust.

A 221 g cart starts from rest and rolls in the right direction (positive) down an incline. The incline is at a height of 5 cm. A
Julli [10]

Answer:

1) p₀ = 0.219 kg m / s, p = 0, 2)  Δp = -0.219 kg m / s, 3) 100%

Explanation:

For the first part, which is speed just before the crash, we can use energy conservation

Initial. Highest point

            Em₀ = U = mg y

Final. Low point just before the crash

           Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          m g y = ½ m v²

           v = √ 2 g y

Let's calculate

           v = √ (2 9.8 0.05)

           v = 0.99 m / s

1) the moment before the crash is

           p₀ = m v

           p₀ = 0.221 0.99

           p₀ = 0.219 kg m / s

After the collision, the car's speed is zero, so its moment is zero.

           p = 0

2) change of momentum

           Δp = p - p₀

            Δp = 0- 0.219

            Δp = -0.219 kg m / s

3) the reason is

     Δp / p = 1

In percentage form it is 100%

If 8.65 g of a tin - fluorine compound contains 5.28 g of tin, what is its empirical formula?
allsm [11]
First, we need to know the amounts of the elements in the compound.

Tin (Sn)= 5.28 g
Fluorine (F) = 8.65 - 5.28 = 3.37 g

Convert these to units of moles by dividing the molar masses.

Tin (Sn)= 5.28 g / 118.71 g/mol = 0.044 mol
Fluorine (F) = 3.37 g / 19.00 g/mol = 0.177 mol

Divide both by the least number of moles of the two.


Tin (Sn)= 0.044 mol /  0.044 mol = 1
Fluorine (F) =  0.177 mol / 0.044 mol = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula would be:
SnF4
