A type of material that tries to prevent the flow of thermal energy is called an insulator.
Split the operation in two parts. Part A) constant acceleration 58.8m/s^2, Part B) free fall.
Part A)
Height reached, y = a*[t^2] / 2 = 58.8 m/s^2 * [7.00 s]^2 / 2 = 1440.6 m
Now you need the final speed to use it as initial speed of the next part.
Vf = Vo + at = 0 + 58.8m/s^2 * 7.00 s = 411.6 m/s
Part B) Free fall
Maximum height, y max ==> Vf = 0
Vf = Vo - gt ==> t = [Vo - Vf]/g = 411.6 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2 = 42 s
ymax = yo + Vo*t - g[t^2] / 2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 411.6m/s * 42 s - 9.8m/s^2 * [42s]^2 /2
ymax = 1440.6 m + 17287.2m - 8643.6m = 10084.2 m
Answer: ymax = 10084.2m
The inner planets are not colder or larger than the outer ones,
and they're not comprised of gas.
The inner planets are the ones that are made of rock. ( D ).
Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.
An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .
<u>Note:</u>
In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter. After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.
The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.
