An object is dropped from the top of a tall building. At 2 seconds, it is 64 feet from the top of the building. At 4 seconds, it

is 256 feet from the top of the building. What is the average rate the object was traveling in the interval between 2 and 4 seconds?

Answer:

96.21 ft/s

Explanation:

To solve this, you only need to use one expression which is:

Vf² = Vo² + 2gh

g = 9.8 m/s²

However, this exercise is talking in feet, so convert the gravity to feet first:

g = 9.8 * 3.28 = 32.15 ft/s²

Vo is zero, because it's a free fall and in free fall the innitial speed is always zero. With this, let's calculate the speed at 2 seconds, with a height of 64 ft, and then with the 256 ft:

V1 = √2*32.15*64

V1 = 64.15 ft/s

V2 = √2*32.15*256

V2 = 128.3 ft/s

So the average rate is:

V = 128.3 + 64.15 / 2

V = 96.22 ft/s

Y - yo = Vo*t - g * (t^2) / 2

Vo = - 9.0 m/s
t = 0.50 s

=> y - yo = -9.0 m/s * 0.5 s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.5s)^2 / 2 = - 4.5m - 1.225m = - 5.725 m.

1. As you get ready for bed, you roll up one of your socks into a tight ball and toss it into the laundry
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

When you toss a rolled up sock across the room, it travels faster as it becomes round and has more weight added on it and this causes the sock to travel in the direction you wish and this gives you a high chance of the sock going straight into the laundry basket, no matter how far away you are.

On the other hand, throwing a sock without rolling it up will cause the sock to just flat down as you throw it. It will travel at a low speed because it has no weight on it since it is flat, and if you try to throw it, it will atleast land 21 cm away from you. About a 0% chance of it getting in the basket.

Hope this helped! =>

Setler [38]

Cause of high probability of accidents of loaded vehicles in over speed effected by momentum on the basis of first law of motion.

<h3>What does Newton's first law say?</h3>

When we are standing inside a bus and it brakes abruptly, due to inertia, we are thrown forward. When a car is going around a curve it is necessary for a force to act, otherwise the car will go in a straight line.

the cause of high probability of accidents of loaded vehicles in over speed occurs large amount of momentum.
