Answer:

1. The statement is false.

2. The statement is false.

Explanation:

1. When a ball is thrown vertically up, the air drag is acting downwards which reduces the time the ball spends traveling upwards, but the air drag is acting upwards while the ball is falling, which increases the time the ball spends traveling downwards.

Thus, the statement is false.

2. The potential energy of a particle is given by

$V = mgh$

where, $m$ is the mass of the object, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity and $h$ is the vertical height traveled by the object.

It does not depend on th initial velocity of the object.

Thus, the statement is false.

Answer:

420

Explanation:

420 because 120 x 3 = 360

120/2 = 60 and 360 + 60 = 420

A woman on a bridge 82.2 m high sees a raft floating at a constant speed on the river below. She drops a stone from rest in an a

solong [7]

Answer:

0.71 m/s

Explanation:

We find the time it takes the stone to hit the water.

Using y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of bridge, u = initial speed of stone = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative since it is directed downwards)and t = time it takes the stone to hit the water surface.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

y = ut - 1/2gt²

82.2 m = (0m/s)t - 1/2( -9.8 m/s²)t²

82.2 m = 0 + (4.9 m/s²)t²

82.2 m = (4.9 m/s²)t²

t² = 82.2 m/4.9 m/s²

t² = 16.78 s²

t = √16.78 s²

t = 4.1 s

This is also the time it takes the raft to move from 5.04 m before the bridge to 2.13 m before the bridge. So, the distance moved by the raft in time t = 4.1 s is 5.04 m - 2.13 m = 2.91 m.

Since speed = distance/time, the raft's speed v = 2.91 m/4.1 s = 0.71 m/s

What is the acceleration of a 349 kg object that moved with a force of 750 N?

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.15 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$
