A flowerpot weighing 2 kilograms, what will be its speed at the end of 5 seconds?

Physics
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago
8 0

That depends on what its speed was at the beginning of 5 seconds,
and on what exactly happened to it.

If it got pushed off of the window sill and fell to the ground below,
then the answer would depend on how high the window sill is.

If the flower pot kept falling for the whole 5 seconds, then its speed
would be  <em>49 meters per second</em>  at the end of the 5 seconds.  That's
because here on Earth, gravity increases the speed of falling things
by 9.8 meters per second for every second they fall.

Naturally, this answer is only true if the window sill is more than
122.5 meters above the ground ... about 402 feet, or 40 floors.
If it's lower than that, then the flower pot hits the ground in less
than 5 seconds, and its speed at the end of 5 seconds is zero.

By the way ...

-- It makes no difference how much the flower pot weighs.
All objects fall with the same acceleration, and hit the ground
at the same time.

-- 5 kilograms is a mass, not a weight.

A 55 kg person falling with a velocity of 0.6
siniylev [52]

Answer:

What are we supposed to find, if it is kinetic energy then this is the solution.

K.E=1/2mv^2

K.E= kinetic energy

M=mass

V=velocity

K.E =0.5*55*0.6^2

K.E=9.9J

You weigh 580 N on Earth. If you were to go to Mars, where its gravitational pull is 3 . 7 11 m /s 2 , what would you weigh? (Hi
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

59.18 kg

Explanation:

use f=ma

f= 580 N

a = 9.8 m/s 2

weigh(m) doesn't change only force(F) changes

Without an atmosphere, the equatorial curve would show minimum daily values on the solstices in June when the sub-solar point is
lapo4ka [179]

Without an atmosphere, the equatorial curve would show minimum daily values on the solstices in June when the sub-solar point is located at 23.5°N and in December when the sub-solar point is at 23.5°S latitude.

Explanation:

At the sub-solar point, the sun strikes directly at the surface with an angle of 90 degrees at a given point.

Solistice refers to that point in time when the sun’s zenith is located at the farthest point from the equator.  

During summer solistice on June 21, the sun’s zenith reaches northernmost point, sub-solar point is fixed at 23.5°S Tropic of Cancer making the earth tilt 23.4 degrees

During winter soliscitse on December 21, the sub-solar point is fixed at)  Tropic of Capricorn.
