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

Physics

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

The amount of energy the body uses when at rest is referred to as _____.
Nesterboy [21]

The answer is Basal Metabolic Rate. It is the total amount of energy expressed in calories that an individual needs to keep the body working at rest. Some of those progressions are blood circulation, breathing, cell growth, controlling body temperature, nerve and brain function, and tightening of muscles.

What method has detected the most extrasolar planets so far?
Sedaia [141]
<h2>Answer: The Transit  method</h2>

Detecting extrasolar planets by direct observation (with a telescope) is a complicated task. This is because any planet constitutes an extremely dim light source compared to the star around which it orbits.

So, to detect this extremely dim source is quite difficult due to the glare of the star's light that dulls it.

In this sense, scientists and astronomers have made several methods to find these extrasolar planets, among which the most successful has been the transit method.

This method is based on <u>astronomical transit</u>, a phenomenon in which a body (a planet in this case) passes in front of a larger one (the star), blocking (eclipsing) its vision to some extent.

It should be noted that this is the method currently used in the search for extrasolar planets. Space agencies such as ESA (Europe) and NASA (USA) have put into orbit satellites with extremely sensitive photometric sensors to observe even the smallest variations of intensity of a star due to the passage of a planet.

if the distance of separation begin two objects is doubled, is the gravitational force between the objects increased or decrease
SashulF [63]

Answer:

force is decreased by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravitation between the two object is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them. Now the distance is doubled, so the force between the two objects becomes one forth.

Force is decreased by a factor or 4.

At its widest point, the diameter of a bottlenose dolphin is 0.50 m. Bottlenose dolphins are particularly sleek, having a drag c
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

497.00977 N

3742514.97005

Explanation:

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

C = Drag coefficient = 0.09

v = Velocity of dolphin = 7.5 m/s

r = Radius of bottlenose dolphin = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

A = Area

Drag force

F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 \times 0.09(\pi 0.25^2)7.5^2\\\Rightarrow F_d=497.00977\ N

The drag force on the dolphin's nose is 497.00977 N

at 20°C

\mu = Dynamic viscosity = 1.002\times 10^{-3}\ Pas

Reynold's Number

Re=\frac{\rho vd}{\mu}\\\Rightarrow Re=\frac{1000\times 7.5\times 0.5}{1.002\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Re=3742514.97005

The Reynolds number is 3742514.97005

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?
Rudik [331]
Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.
