Ignoring air resistance . . .

-- Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

-- After falling for 3 sec, it's falling (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s faster
   than it was when it was dropped.

-- It started out with zero speed when it rolled off the top of the building,
   so its speed is  29.4 m/s after 3 seconds.

-- Its average speed all the way down is

               (1/2) (0 + 29.4)  =  14.7 m/s .

-- After traveling for 3 sec at an average speed of  14.7 m/s,
   it has traveled

                   (3 sec) x (14.7 m/s)  =  44.1 meters .

A particle travels in a circle of radius 76 cm and completes one revolution in 4.5 s. What is the centripetal acceleration of th
Dimas [21]

r = radius of the circle traveled by the particle = 76 cm = 0.76 m

T = time period of revolution for the particle = 4.5 s

w = angular velocity of the particle

angular velocity of the particle is given as

w = 2π/T

inserting the values

w = 2 (3.14)/4.5

w = 1.4 rad/s

a = centripetal acceleration of the particle in the circle

centripetal acceleration is given as

a = r w²

inserting the values

a = (0.76) (1.4)²

a = 1.5 m/s²

Work and Power Practice Calculations
Elza [17]

Answer:

1. W = F d = 20 N * 6 m = 120 J

2. F = W / d = 60 J / 2 m = 30 N

3. d = W / F = 350 J / 85 N = 4.12 m

4. P = W / t = F d / t = 45 N * 9 m / 10 s = 40.5 Watts

5. W = P t = 500 W * 120 sec = 60,000 J

6. t = W / P = 550 J / 310 W = 1.77 sec

What is force??????<br> ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀​
Gwar [14]

Answer:

A force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object. Whenever there is an interaction between two objects, there is a force upon each of the objects. ... Forces only exist as a result of an interaction.

An amoeba has 1.00 x 1016 protons and a net charge of 0.300 pC. Assuming there are 1.88 x 106 fewer electrons than protons, If y
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}

Explanation:

We are given that

Amoeba has total number of protons=1.00\times 10^{16}

Net charge, Q=0.300pC

Electrons are fewer than protons=1.88\times 10^6

We have to find the fraction of protons would have no electrons.

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{Fewer\;electrons}{Total\;protons}

The fraction of the protons would have no electrons

=\frac{1.88\times 10^{6}}{1.00\times 10^{16}}

=1.88\times 10^{-10}

Hence, the fraction of the protons would have no electrons =1.88\times 10^{-10}
