Answer:

v=-21.65 m/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we have:

v_{o}=1.9m/s\\ g=9.81 m/s^{2}\\ t=2.4s

To find the velocity after 2.4s we need to use the following formula:

v=v_{o}+gt

v=1.9m/s-(9.81m/s^{2})(2.4s)=-21.65m/s

The negative sign means that the kit is going down.

Answer:

v_f=25.444\ m/s

Explanation:

All given this are:

Initial velocity is , v_i=1.9\ m/s

Time taken, t=2.4 \ s

The acceleration due to gravity is , g=9.81 \ m/s^2

So , we need to find final velocity, v_f.

So we will use equation of motion.

v_f-v_i=a\times t. Here a is acceleration which is g .

putting all those values.

v_f=1.9 + 9.81\times2.4=25.444\ m/s.

Hence , it is the required solution.

If a plane has an airspeed of 40 m/s and is experiencing a crosswind of 30 m/s, what is its ground speed in m/s?
Anon25 [30]
<h2>Answer:50ms^{-1}</h2>

Explanation:

Let v_{a} be the airspeed.

Let v_{w} be the cross wind speed.

We know that,ground speed is the vector sum of airspeed and cross wind speed and airspeed is perpendicular to cross wind speed.

If v_{1} and v_{2} are two perpendicular vectors,the resultant vector has the magnitude \sqrt{|v|_{1}^{2}+|v|_{2}^{2}}

Given,

v_{a}=40ms^{-1}\\v_{c}=30ms^{-1}

So,the ground speed is \sqrt{40^{2}+30^{2}}=\sqrt{2500}=50ms^{-1}

Why are we not able to see immediate after we enter a dark hall from a lighter place.
Kipish [7]
Technically this is a Biology question;

The 'amount' we can see depends on how much light can get through our pupil to hit our retina.
When there is a lot of light the pupil is small; it doesn't need to be big to let a lot of light in.
When we move to a dark space there is much less light, so the pupil 'dilates' to let enough light so we can see properly.
The period in which one cant see is simply when the pupil hasn't had time to change shape yet so doesn't let in enough light.<span />
