Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bag, u = 7.3 m/s

Height above ground, s = 24 m

We need to find the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2=u^2+2as

v^2=(7.3)^2+2\times 9.8\times 24  

v=\sqrt{523.69}

v = 22.88 m/s

So, the speed of the bag just before it reaches the ground is 22.38 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer: 42

Explanation:

I will answer this in English.

We know that the apple needs 5 seconds to reach the ground.

Each floor of the building has a height of 2.88m.

Now, when we drop something, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational one, so the acceleration of the apple is:

a = -g

for the velocity, we integrate the acceleration over time, and as the apple is dropped, we do not have any initial velocity, so we do not have a constant in the integration:

v = -g*t

for the position we integrate again, now we have an initial height H, so the position is:

p = (-g/2)*t^2 + H

now the apple hits the ground when p = 0, so we can solve this equation to find H.

i will use g = 9.8m/s^2

0 = (-4.9m/s^2)*(5s)^2 + H  

H = 122.5 m

now knowing H, we can divide it by the height of a floor in the building and get the number of the floor.

N = 122.5m/2.88m = 42.5

this means that the apple was dropped in the floor 42 (the 0.5 means that the apple was not right where the floor 42 starts, it was dropped around the middle of the floor 42)

Which graph illustrates constant speed and velocity?
boyakko [2]

The correct graph is <u>D</u>.

The graph <em>A</em> is a straight line sloping downwards and it shows that the speed of the body is decreasing at a constant rate. Therefore, this s a graph of a body that is under a constant deceleration.

The graph B is a straight line which slopes upwards. Hence the graph shows that the speed of the body increases at a constant rate. Therefore, this is a graph of a body that is accelerating at a constant rate.

The graph C is curved line, which curves upwards. The slope of the curve increases with time. This is therefore, a graph of a body which is under increasing acceleration.

The graph D, however is a straight line parallel to the time axis. The speed of the body has the same value at all times. Therefore, Graph D is the graph which shows the motion of a body with constant speed.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

Explanation:

given

v = 1000cm³, p = 80kPa, Δp/t= 40kPa/min

PV=C

vΔp + pΔv = 0

differentiate with respect to time

v(Δp/t) + p(Δv/t) = 0

(1000cm³)(40kPa/min) + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

40000 + 80kPa(Δv/t) = 0

Δv/t = -40000/80

= -500cm³/min

the volume decreases at the rate of 500cm³ in 1 min

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Alice Distance = 100 meters

Peter's Distance = 3 km

Alice Displacement and Peter's displacement are both 100 meters upwards.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we have to first define distance and displacement.

Distance is simply the measurement of the sum of all paths travelled from one point to another while displacement is measurement of the shortest distance from initial point to final point.

Now, Alice and Peter are moving from the same point.

Alice distance travelled is 100 meters.

Also, her displacement will be 100 meters because it is the shortest distance to the summit of the cliff.

Now, for Peter, he decides to take a longer route which is 3 km in distance.

However, the shortest path which is the displacement is still 100 meters.

Thus, Peter's displacement is 100 meters.
