Answer:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

Explanation:

We set a frame of reference with origin at the hand of the girl the moment she releases the ball. We assume her hand will be in the same position when she catches it again. The positive X axis point upwards.The ball will be subject to a constant gravitational acceleration of -9.81 m/s^2.

We use the equation for position under constant acceleration:

X(t) = X0 + V0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2

X0 = 0 because it is at the origin of the coordinate system.

We know that at t = 2, the position will be zero.

X(2) = 0 = V0 * 2 + 1/2 * -9.81 * 2^2

0 = 2 * V0 - 4.9 * 4

2 * V0 = 19.6

V0 = 9.8 m/s

Then the position of the ball as a function of time is:

X(t) = 9.8 *t - 4.9 * t^2

The chart below shows the average surface temperature or temperature range for each of the eight planets.
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

A) Earth and the other inner planets have higher average surface temperatures than the outer planets.

Explanation:

the earth and the other inner planets have higher average surface temperatures than the outer planets.

The reason for this response is due to the distance between the sun and the respective planet, the source of energy generation is the sun and the only way in which the temperature increase of each planet is guaranteed is by radiation, the further away a planet is from its star, its temperature will decrease. Although it is also important to highlight the atmospheric composition of the planet if this planet in its stratosphere has high density clouds that do not allow the entry of solar radiation, the temperature of the planet's surface will not increase, independent of the distance from the sun, but these are more complex cases where specialists in that area enter to perform a study in detail.

so classmate states that continental drift could not be possible because it would take far too much force to move tectonic plate
Juliette [100K]
Any student who states that tectonic plates are too massive to move doesn't understand how much heat exists in the center of the earth. This heat is capable of moving the most massive of plates.

A girl is out jogging at 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 1.50 m/s^2 until she reaches a velocity of 5.00 m/s. How far does she get?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

7.00 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 2.00 m/s

v = 5.00 m/s

a = 1.50 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(5.00 m/s)² = (2.00 m/s)² + 2(1.50 m/s²)Δx

Δx = 7.00 m
