Take the stone's position at ground level to be the origin, and the downward direction to be negative. Then its position in the air y at time t is given by

y=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2t^2

Let d be the depth of the well. The stone hits the bottom of the well after 5.00 s, so that

-d=100\,\mathrm m-\dfrac g2(5.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies d=\boxed{22.6\,\mathrm m}

Suppose you have a Frisbee with a mass of 0.10 kg. You first throw it with a force of 5N and then change the force you throw it
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The acceleration increases.

Explanation:

From Newton's 2nd Law, we have \Sigma F=ma. We can see that force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration. Therefore, as force increases, either mass or acceleration must increase as well, and vice versa. Since mass is maintained here, if you increase the force applied to the Frisbee, the acceleration will increase as well.

A skier starts from rest at the top of a hill that is inclined 10.5° with respect to the horizontal. The hillside is 200 m long,
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

d) 289.31 m

Explanation:

Energy provided by potential energy = mgh = m x 9.8x 200 sin10.5 = 357.18m

Energy used by friction = μmgcos 10.5 x 200 = .075 x m x 9.8 x cos 10.5 x200 = 144.54 m .

Energy used by friction on plain surface = μmg x d.( dis distance covered on plain ) =.075x m x 9.8 xd = .735 m d

To equate

357.18 m -144.54 m = .735 m d

d = 289.31 m .

Is position a base or derived quantity?
amid [387]

Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental  quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

  • Mass
  • Length (position)
  • Time
  • Temperature
  • Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Volume
  • Area
  • Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.

A.

We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.

B.

We won’t see the bell move, but we’ll hear it ring.

C.

We’ll see the bell move and hear it ring.

D.

We won’t see the bell move or hear it ring.

E.

We’ll see the sound waves exit the vacuum pump.

Explanation:

so, the answer to the question is

A.

We'll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.
