For an object`s motion, the Kinematic equation is,

$v^2=v_{0}^2+2ah$

Here, v is the final velocity and h is stands for the height of the object and a is the acceleration of the object.

As according to question,

$v=0m/s,a=g-9.8 m/s^2$ and $h = 0.400 m$

Thus, putting these values in above equation, we get

$0= v_{0}^2 -2gh$

$v_{0} =\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.400 }$

$v_{0} = 2.8 m/s$

Therefore, initial velocity is 2.8 m/s

A trough is 10 feet long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 3 feet across at the top and 1 foot high. I

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

1.6 ft/min

Explanation:

Since trough is 10 ft long and water is filled at the rate of 12ft3/min. We can calculate the rate of water filled with respect to area:

= 12 / 10 = 1.2ft2/min

As the water level rises, so does the water surface, or the bottom side of the isosceles triangles. In fact we can calculate the bottom side when the trough is half foot deep:

= 3 / 2 = 1.5 ft

The rate of change in water level would be the same as calculating the height of the isosceles triangles knowing its base

= 1.2 * 2 / 1.5 = 1.6 ft/min

The velocity of an object is the distance it travels per unit time. Suppose the velocity of a gilding bird is measured to be 52.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$d=7.115s$

Explanation:

What problem says can be written mathematically as:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$v=Velocity\\t=Time\\d=Distance$

The problem itself it's really simple, we only need to replace the data provided in the previous equation, but first, let's convert the units of the velocity from cm/s to m/s because we have to work with the same units and working in meters is the most apropiate action, because is the base unit of length in the International System of Units:

$52\frac{cm}{s} *\frac{1m}{100cm} =0.52\frac{m}{s}$

Now, we can replace the data in the equation and find the time it will take the bird to travel 3.7 m:

$0.52=\frac{3.7}{t}$

Solving for t, multiplying by t both sides, and dividing by 0.52 both sides:

$t=\frac{3.7}{0.52} =7.115384615s\approx7.115s$

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

$f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}$
