90 points whats the equation for how fast something will be traveling before it hits the ground. How to do the equation PLEASE E

XPLAIN here is an example problem

given GPE=M*g*h

KE= 0.5*Mass *velocity squared

something falls n before it hits the ground,

by conservation of energy

GPE loss = KE gain

e.g. A 0.05 kg-coin is dropped from the top of a skyscraper that is 100 meters high.

so M=0.05, g=9.8m/s^2, h=100m

GPE loss=M*g*h=0.05*9.8*100

=49J

KE gain=0.5*Mass *velocity squared=GPE loss

0.5*0.05*velocity squared=49

velocity squared=49/0.5/0.05=1960

velocity=sqrt(1960)=44.27m/s

I will solve it using a different set of equations from kinematics. The same principles are the same but the equations look different. Specifically

final velocity^2 = initial velocity^2 + 2(acceleration)(displacement)

In this example, the coin has no initial velocity, acceleration is by gravity and the displacement is 100m

final velocity^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)(100)=1960

final velocity = (1960)^(1/2) = 44.3m/s

On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The acceleration due to gravity on t
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) 6 times farther.  b) 6 times longer.

Explanation:

Once released, in the horizontal direction, no other forces act on the ball, so it continues moving at the same initial velocity, which is given by the projection of the velocity vector in the horizontal direction, as follows:

vₓ = v* cos (25º) = 23 m/s * 0.906 = 20.8 m/s

In the vertical direction, the initial velocity is the projection of the velocity vector along the vertical axis, as follows:

vy = v* sin (25º) = 23 m/s * 0.422 = 9.72 m/s

Assuming that the acceleration is constant, and equal to 1/6*g, we can calculate the total time of flight, with the following kinematic equation for the vertical displacement:

y = voy*t - (\frac{1}{2}*\frac{g}{6} * t^{2} )

If the total displacement in the vertical direction is 0 (which means  that the time if the total time of flight), we can solve for t, as follows:

t = \frac{voy*12}{g} = \frac{9.72 m/s*12}{9.8m/s2} = 11. 9 s

On earth, this time could be calculated in the same way:

t = \frac{voy*12}{g} = \frac{9.72 m/s*2}{9.8m/s2} = 1.98 s

As the time is defined by the vertical movement, we can find the horizontal distance travelled on the moon, as follows:

Δx = v₀ₓ * t = 20.8 m/s * 11. 9 s = 248.1 m

On earth, the distance travelled had been as follows:

Δx = v₀ₓ * t = 20.8 m/s * 1.98 s = 41.3 m

⇒ Δx(moon) / Δx(earth) = 248.1 / 41.3 = 6.00

b) As we have just found, the time of flight on the moon and on the earth are as follows:

tmoon = 11. 9 s

tearth = 1.98 s

⇒ t(moon) / t(earth) = 11.9 / 1.98 = 6.0

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

With more particles there will be more collisions and so a greater pressure. The number of particles is proportional to pressure, if the volume of the container and the temperature remain constant. ... This happens when the temperature is increased.

The force of attraction between a -130.0 C and +180.0 C charge is 8.00 N. What is the separation between these two charges in me
kondaur [170]

Answer with Explanation:

The force of attraction between 2 charges of magnitudeq_1,q_2 separated by a distance 'r' is given by

F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _o}\frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}=k\frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}

where

\epsilon _o is a constant known as permitivity of free space

k=9\times 10^{9}Nm^2/C^2

Applying the given values in the above relation we get

8=9\times 10^{9}\times \frac{130\times 180}{r^{2}}\\\\r^{2}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 130\times 180}{8}\\\\r^{2}=26325\times 10^{9}\\\\\therefore r=\sqrt{26325\times 10^{9}}=5.131\times 10^{6}meters
