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

Physics
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]3 years ago

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 toboggan loaded with vacationing students (total weight 1300 N) slides down a slope at 30 degrees and there is no friction. wh
sasho [114]

Answer:

The acceleration of the sliding toboggan is, a = 4.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The total weight of the toboggan, W = 1300 N

The slope is, Ф = 30°

The acceleration of a body under the influence of the gravitational field does not depend on its mass, size and shape in the absence of the air resistance.

Therefore,

The acceleration of the toboggan is given by the formula,

                           a = g Sin Ф

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                           a = 9.8 x Sin 30°

                              = 4.9 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the sliding toboggan is, a = 4.9 m/s²

Amanda [17]

Answer:D

Explanation:

When the character falls off from cliff he moves away from the observer as he falls down and hence the frequency heard by observer lowers as he falls.

Therefore the pitch of the sound is lower than the original sound and decreasing as he falls

Option D is the correct choice

How are humans able to perceive light waves? Sound waves?
Vesna [10]
Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. ... Sound is a form of mechanical energy caused by vibrations of matter. Light is electromagnetic energy caused by interacting electric and magnetic fields.

A ball is launched from ground level and hits the ground again after an elapsed time of 4 seconds and after traveling a horizont
jeka94

Answer:

1)a. It is constant the whole time the ball is in free-fall.

2)b. = 14 m/s

3) e. = 19.6 m/s

Explanation:

1) given that the only force acting on the ball is gravity, gravity acts along the vertical axis. Since no other force acts on the ball then the horizontal velocity will remain constant all through the flight since there is no horizontal force acting on the ball.

2) speed = distance/time

horizontal distance = 56m

Time = 4 seconds

Speed = 56m/4s = 14m/s

3) acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Initial vertical velocity = u

Final vertical velocity = v = -u

Using the law of motion;

v = u + at

a = acceleration = -g = -9.8m/s^2

t = time of flight = 4

Substituting the values;

-u = u - 4(9.8)

-2u = -4(9.8)

u = -4(9.8)/-2

u = 2(9.8) = 19.6 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = u = 19.6 m/s
