To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations.

The equation that describes the position as a function of the initial velocity, acceleration and time is given by the relation

s = v_0 t +\frac{1}{2} at^2

Here,

v_0 = Initial velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration, at this case due to gravity

There is not initial velocity then we have that the equation to the given time is

s = \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(6.8)^2

s = 226.8m

If the ball is held at a height of 1m before it is dropped, we have that the Building height is

h = 226.8-1

h = 225.8m

What is the density of a substance that has a mass of 453g and a volume of 224mL?
Mrrafil [7]
Density is mass per unit volume. In this case, the unit is g/ml
Mass=453g                              ρ=453g/224ml
Volume=224ml                         ρ=2.022g/ml(rounded to nearest hundredth)
Density=?
ρ=mass/volume
Therefore the density of the substance is 2.022g/ml

(HELP!! 10pts) a train travels 75km in 1hr, and then 68km in 2hrs. what is its average speed?
blondinia [14]
Average speed = total distance travelled ÷ total time taken

AS = (75km + 68km) ÷ (1hr + 2hr)

As = 143km ÷ 3hr

AS = 47.66667 km/hr

AS = 47.7 km/hr (3sf)
