A ball is dropped from the top of a tall building h=5m about how long does it take for the ball to hit the ground.

1 answer:

5 0

D=-5m
a(gravity)=-9.8m/s^2
vi= 0m/s
t=?
use equation d=vi*t+0.5a*t^2
because vi=0, you can cross out vi*t because anything multiplied by 0= 0
rearrange the equation to say t^2=d/0.5a
t^2= -5/-4.9
t^2=1.02
find the square root...
final answer: t=1s

scientific endeavor should only be pursued after known tradeoffs associated with the research have been considered. True or Fals

AfilCa [17]

This is false. There were many times in history when people discovered something that they didn't even know was possible or didn't even plan to discover it. Knowing tradeoffs doesn't mean that something won't surprise you or that all will go according to plan.

What will be the final velocity of a 5.0 g bullet starting from rest, if a net force of 45 N is applied over a time of 0.02s?

Wewaii [24]

We know there’s a change in momentum due to a force applied over a time interval. Ft= m[v(final)-v(initial)]. Now simply plug in know values: (45)(0.02)=.005[v(final)-0]. Remember converting grams to kilograms. Solve for v final

You hear three beats per second when two sounds tones are generated. The frequency of one tone is known to be 610 Hz. The freque

tiny-mole [99]

The frequency of the other wave is 613 Hz or 607 Hz.

The difference between the frequencies of two waves is called the beat frequency.

Here, one wave has a frequency 610 Hz and the beat frequency is 3 beats per second.

Which has a higher frequency is not mentioned. Therefore, there are two possibilities.

Δf = | 610 - 613 | = 3

Δf = | 610 - 607 | = 3

Therefore, the frequency of the other wave is 613 Hz or 607 Hz.
