The distance it falls is given by
x = (1/2)at^2
where a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
x = (1/2)(9.8)(18)^2
x = 1587.6 m
The answer is 1587.6 meters

There are two blocks: one large one initially at rest, and a smaller one, initially moving to the right withsome speed. The smal
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity of small block be v .

by applying conservation of momentum we can find velocity of common mass

25 v = 75 V , V is velocity of common mass after collision.

V = v / 3

For reaching the height we shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

1/2 m v² = mgh

1/2  x 75 x V² = 75 x g x 10

V² = 2g x 10

v² / 9 = 2 x 9.8 x 10

v² = 9 x 2 x 9.8 x 10

v = 42 m /s

small block must have velocity of 42 m /s .

Impulse by small block on large block

= change in momentum of large block

= 75 x V

= 75  x 42 / 3

= 1050 Ns.

You pushes a 25kg box with 40 N of force, but the friction on the crate is 15 N. What is the net
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

25 N  in the direction of your push

Explanation:

The friction force acts against your pushing force....it reduces the net amount of force you are exerting

Net force =  40 - 15 = 25 N

A boat is moving in a river with a current that has speed vW with respect to the shore. The boat first moves downstream (i.e. in
slega [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current  has speed vW with respect to the shore and boat has speed vB with respect to water or current so speed of boat  with respect to shore

vW + vB .

Distance travelled with respect to shore by boat = D

time ( tout ) = distance / speed with respect to shore

tOut = D / ( vW + vB )

When the boat travels upstream , its velocity with respect to shore

= ( vB - vW ) , vB must be higher .

tin = D /  ( vB - vW )

3 ) tin = D /  ( vB - vW )

170 = 120 / (vB - 0.3 )

(vB - 0.3 ) = 12 / 17 = .706

vB = 1.006 m / s

4 )

tOut = D / ( vW + vB )

= 120 / ( .3 + 1.006 )

= 92.26 s
