Do you remember this formula for the distance traveled while accelerated ?

<u>Distance = (initial speed) x (t)  plus  (1/2) x (acceleration) x (t²)</u>

I think this is exactly what we need for this problem.

initial speed = 20 m/s down
acceleration = 9.81 m/s² down
t = 3.0 seconds

Distance down = (20) x (3)  plus  (1/2) x (9.81) x (3)²

Distance = (60)  plus  (4.905) x (9)

Distance = (60)  plus  (44.145)  =  104.145 meters

Choice  <em>D)</em>  is the closest one.

Tanzania [10]
The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
v= \frac{d}{t}         ⇒ d=v*t

It is given:
v =  \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s}  = 3.2 m/s
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m

A solid object has a mass of 104 kg and a volume of 1,278 m3. What is its density?
MrMuchimi
The density is 81.4 g/m3. Before you start plugging numbers into the density formula (D=M/V), you should convert 104 kg to grams, which ends up being 104,000 grams. Then you can plug in the 104,000 grams and 1,278 m3 into the formula. When you divide the mass by the volume, you get a really long decimal, which you can round to 81.4 g/m3, or whatever place your teacher wants you to round to.

The force between two charged bodies is called ______________.
stepladder [879]

The Coulomb force between two or more charged bodies is the force between them due to Coulomb's law. If the particles are both positively or negatively charged, the force is repulsive; if they are of opposite charge, it is attractive. ... Like the gravitational force, the Coulomb force is an inverse square law.
