An object is dropped at a height of 12 m from the ground. How fast is it moving just before it hits the ground?

The final speed of the object is 15.3 m/s

Explanation:

The object in the problem is moving by uniformly accelerated motion (it is in free fall), so we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (taking downward as positive direction)

s is the vertical displacement

For the object in this problem:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

s = 12 m is the displacement of the object

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(12)}=15.3 m/s

Two students are watching a person riding a skateboard up and down a ramp. Each student shares what they think about the energy
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp

Explanation:

The total energy, also known as the total mechanical energy, is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the skateboarder

Given that the potential energy is the energy gained due to elevation, the maximum potential energy is obtained at the top of the ramp, while the maximum kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion, is at the bottom of the ramp where the skateboarder moves fastest.

However, by the energy conservation principle, the kinetic energy of he skateboarder comes from the conversion of the potential energy, such that the total energy is the same at any particular point on the ramp.

What is the speed over the ground of a mosquito flying 2 m/s relative to the air against a 2 m/s headwind?
salantis [7]

We have that the speed over the ground of a mosquito flying 2 m/s relative to the air against a 2 m/s headwind is

X=0m/s

From the question we are told that

mosquito flying 2 m/s

against a 2 m/s headwind

Generally

The speed over the ground is the Flight Speed minus resistance speed

Generally the equation for the  speed over the ground  is mathematically given as

X=Flight Speed-resistance speed

Therefore

X=2-2

X=0m/s

26. The speed of light in a certain medium is
horrorfan [7]

The number we need in order to answer the question belongs in the space between the words "is" and "of".  You left that blank blank, so there really isn't any question here to answer.

HOWEVER ... the refractive index of a medium can never be less than 1.0 , so we know for sure that <em>choice-a can't be</em> the correct answer.
