Hey there! Hello!

So, for this problem, we need to keep in mind what the formula for calculating mass is in the case of given acceleration and weight.

W=Weight
a=acceleration (gravitational pull)
m=mass

W=am, so
m=W/a.

Lets go through the answers:

A is incorrect right off the bat, since it's impossible for there to be circumstances that allow for both weight and mass to be equal.

B sounds like the right one to me, as the weight will affect the mass directly if the acceleration doesn't change (which is why they made it known that this was from one location), and vice versa.

C isn't correct, since it's basically saying the opposite of what actually happens occurs (weight goes up, mass goes down, and vice versa).

D has also been disproven based on our formula above. Weight is the one that equals mass times acceleration, not the other way around.

I hope this helps you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. :-)

a 5.0 kg ball is dropped from a 2.5 m high window. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Approximately 7.0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

Assumption: the ball dropped with no initial velocity, and that the air resistance on this ball is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume the air resistance on the ball is negligible. Because of gravity, the ball should accelerate downwards at a constant g = 9.81 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} near the surface of the earth.

For an object that is accelerating constantly,

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a \, x,

where

  • u is the initial velocity of the object,
  • v is the final velocity of the object.
  • a is its acceleration, and
  • x is its displacement.

In this case, x is the same as the change in the ball's height: x = 2.5\; \rm m. By assumption, this ball was dropped with no initial velocity. As a result, u = 0. Since the ball is accelerating due to gravity, a = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

v^2 - u^2 = 2\, g \cdot h.

In this case, v would be the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground. Solve for

v^2 = 2\, a\, x + u^2.

\begin{aligned}v &= \sqrt{2\, a\, x + u^2} \\ &= \sqrt{2\times 9.81 \times 2.5 + 0} \\ &\approx 7.0\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

1. A ball is thrown downward with an initial speed of 22 m/s on Earth. a. What is the acceleration of the ball? b. Calculate the
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball would be due to the downward force of gravity, 9.8m/s^2. In order to find the displacement given that interval of time, you have to use the corresponding kinematic formula:

d=v_it+at^2/2

The initial velocity was given, the time was given, and the acceleration was given. Therefore:

d=(22m/s)(4s)+(9.8m/s^2)(4s)^2/2

d=166.4m

To find the required time given a desired final velocity, we can use:

v_f=v_i+at

60m/s=22m/s+(9.8m/s^2)(t)

38=9.8t

t=3.9s

1) Carbohydrates, Lipids (fats), Protein, Vitamins, Minerals, and Water. proteins, fats and carbs provide energy.

2) 45 to 65 percent carbs, and 10-35 percent protein.

3) Carbs are your body's main source of energy. the 2 major types are simple and complex carbs

4) cereals, fruits and vegetables. You should have 25 to 30 grams a day.

5) It helps repair and build your body's tissues, allows metabolic reactions to take place and coordinates bodily functions.

6) It gives you energy and supports cell growth.

7) Saturated fats, Trans fats, Monounsaturated fats, and Polyunsaturated fats. trans fats are the most dangerous for your health

8) Vitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrients, They help shore up bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They can also help convert food into energy.

9) Minerals help build strong bones to transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are even used to make hormones or maintain a normal heartbeat.

10) 60% is made of water, 11 to 15 cups of water should be drank a day.

hope this helps :)

What distinguishes the zen garden at ryoanji from this stained glass window at chartres cathedral?
sveta [45]
Both are temples designed to inspire reflection, meditative thought and are places of significant art and design. The Ryoanji garden uses asymmetry, spacial composition, minimalism and little color that arranges three small islands in a perfectly kept graveled garden with a prominent cherry blossom; the stained glass window at Chartres Cathedral, however, uses light, complicated symmetrical patterns, figuration, lots of color on the two-dimensional form of the glass.
