Answer:

A: 1.962

B: 3.924

Explanation:

g = G *M /R^2

g = 9.807*M/R^2 the gravitational constant of ground level on earth is about 9.807

g = 9.807*5lbs/R^2 the average brick is about 5 pounds.

g = 9.807*5*10^2. I'm assuming the height is around ten feet to help you out.

with these numbers plugged in you get an acceleration of 0.4905 a final velocity after 4 seconds 1.962. It's height fallen after 4 seconds is 3.924.

( M = whatever the brick weighs it's not specified in the question)

(R = the distance from the ground or how high the scaffold is)

(hopefully you can just plug your numbers in there hope this helps)

The greater the mass is in an object, the higher resistance to a change in movement the object will have. Please select the best

This statement is true. The greater the mass is in an object, it is indeed the higher resistance to a change in movement the object will have. That only mean that the mass of an object and its resistance to change of movement is directly proportional.

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build

Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3> $y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}$ </h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t </h3><h3> $v_{o}$ i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration= $9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )$ </h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then, $v_{0}$ =0
