Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

v_{perpendicular} = v cos20

v_{parallel} = v sin20

so here we have

v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20

v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

While strolling downtown on a Saturday afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. As you are walking along an alley toward a
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

1.44 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+a\times 5\\\Rightarrow v=5a

This velocity will be the initial velocity of the car when it passes through the first building

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 3=5a\times 0.4+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.4^2\\\Rightarrow a=1.44\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the car is 1.44 m/s²

Cubes have sides of equal lengths. What is the fastest way to measure the volume of a cube-shaped table?
natima [27]
Measure the length of one side and then cube the answer. So if x represents the measurement of one side, x³ will give you the volume.

Neil Armstrong, the first human being to step on the moon, left a foot print that is essentially unchanged nearly 50 years later
Likurg_2 [28]

Since the boot-print was left there nearly 50 years ago, there has been very little wind and very little rain in that area, and plus, there have been very few people or other animals walking around in that spot to disturb it.
