A frog falls from its rainforest tree. If we ignore wind resistance, (a) how much time does it take the frog to fall a distance

of 12.0 m? (b) how fast is the frog falling at this point?

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Using the equation of motion

S = ut + 1/2gt²

S is the distance of fall

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Given S = 12.0m, g = 9.81m/s^2, un= 0m/s

12 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

12 = 4.905t²²²

t² = 12/4.905

t² = 2.446

t = √2.446

t = 1.56secs

b) To determine how fast is the frog falling at this point, we need to calculate the speed of the frog. Using the equaton v = u+gt

v = 0+9.81(1.56)

v = 15.34m/s

Hence the frog is falling at the rate of 15.34m/s

Answer:

F  = 183.153 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the toothpick = 0.12 g = 0.00012 kg  

initial velocity = 227 m/s    

final velocity = 0 m/s      

penetration depth = 16 mm = 0.016 m        

using the equation of motion        

v² - u² = 2 a s                            

0 - u² = 2 a s                                      

- 221² = 2 × a × 0.016      

a = 1526281.25 m/s²            

Force is equal to            

F = m a

  = 0.00012 × 1526281.25

F  = 183.153 N

State an advantage of using such hydraulic jack to lift a load ​
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

You are going to lift and press down on the 200 N many times and move only a short distance. The reward is that slowly but surely you will lift a very heavy load -- one that cannot be managed any other way but by the hydraulic jack.

Which method determines the relative age of Earth's sedimentary layers based on their organization?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Relative age-dating involves comparing a rock layer or rock structure with other near-by layers or structures. Using the principles of superposition and cross-cutting relationships, and structures such as unconformities, one can determine the order of geological events.
