Answer:
+7.0 m/s
Explanation:
Let's take rightward as positive direction.
So in this problem we have:
a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)
t = 4 s time interval
v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)
We can use the following equation:
v = u + at
Where u is the initial velocity
We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:
and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.
For t1:
t1 = square root of 2h1 / g = square root of 2 * 0.5 / 9.8 = 0.319 sec
For t2:
t2 = sqaure root of 2h2 / g = square root of 2 * 1.0 / 9.8 = 0.451 sec
Wherein:
t = time(s) for the vertical movement
h= height
g = gravity (using the standard 9.8 m/sec measurement)
d1 = 1*0.319 = 0.319 m
d2 = 0.5 * 0.451 = 0.225 m
Where:
d = hor. distance
ratio = d1:d2
= 0.319 : 0.225
=3.19 : 2.25
The answer is 3.19 : 2.25
Answer:
Ships can float because a ship is less dense than that of the water that it floats on.
Explanation:
Hope this helps!
There are two equal forces of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
One force pulls the Moon toward the Earth.
The other force pulls the Earth toward the Moon.
If only this gravity suddenly switched off, then the moon would
continue to orbit the Sun, very much as it does now.
If ALL gravity suddenly switched off, then . . .
-- the Moon would stop orbiting the Earth and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;
-- the Earth would stop orbiting the Sun and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;
-- all the gases surrounding the Earth ... which we call "air" ... would
start drifting away, and expanding into a giant cloud of gas, and stop
being an atmosphere;
-- the Sun would completely fall apart, expand into a giant cloud of gas,
and stop being a star.
Fixed volume and shape
-Particles are locked into place
Not easily compressible
-Little free space between particles
Does not flow easy
-Particles cannot move past each other
