As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.

vodomira [7]

The reason why Kim's hair rises and sticks out is due to electrostatic attraction.

<h3>What is charging by friction?</h3>

We know that one of the ways in which a body is able to acquire static charges is by friction. When a body is rubbed against another, there could be loss or gain of charges leaving a net charge on each body.

The process that occurs when some of Kim's hair rises and sticks out toward the balloon, even though the balloon hasn't touched her hair is electrostatic attraction.

Calculate the force on an object with mass of 50kg and gravity of 10​
GarryVolchara [31]
Answer: 500 N

Explanation:

The formula to find the force exerted by a mass, we may use F = mg, where g, the gravity, and a, the acceleration, can be interchangeable in the formula.

1) F = 50 x 10
2) F = 500 N

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

23.67 km / hr

Explanation:

car travels 355 km (d)

duration = 15 hrs  (t)

average speed formula = v = d / t

v = 355 km / 15 hr

v = 23.67 km / hr
