Answer:

a) t = 3.35[s]; b) t = 1.386[s]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by dividing it into two parts, for the first 55 [m] and then the second part with the remaining 55 [m].

We will take the initial velocity as zero, as the problem does not mention that the Rock was thrown at initial velocity.

And using kinematics equations:

v_{f}^{2}= v_{o}^{2}+2*g*y\\where:\\v_{o}=0\\g=gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\y=55 [m]\\v_{f}^{2}=0+2*9.81*55\\v_{f}=\sqrt{2*9.81*55} \\v_{f}=32.85[m/s]

Now we can calculate the time:

v_{f}=v_{o}+g*t\\t=\frac{v_{f}-v_{o}}{g}\\ t=\frac{32.85-0}{9.81}\\ t=3.35[s]

Now we can calculate the second time, but using as a initial velocity 32.85[m/s].

The final velocity will be:

v_{f}^{2}= v_{o}^{2}+2*g*y\\v_{f}=\sqrt{v_{o}^{2}+2*g*y} \\v_{f}=\sqrt{32.85^{2}+2*9.81*55 } \\v_{f}=46.45[m/s]

Now we can calculate the second time:

t=\frac{46.45-32.85}{9.81} \\t= 1.386[s]

Note: The reason the second time is shorter even though it is the same distance is that the acceleration of gravity increases the speed of the rock more and more as it falls.

The space program contributes a great deal to enrich the lives of Floridians and beyond. One way that NASA brings an income to F
Ivan

Answer: Through tourism.

Explanation:

Since NASA space centre is located in Florida where NASA launches spaceflight, this is a huge tourist attraction for viewers in the United States and world entirely.

Florida generates income through people coming to view the launch of the spaceflight as tourism.

The tourists help in many ways like lodging into hotels, buying one or two things, taking transport from one place to another which will eventually help Florida economy.

A mass hanged on a spring scale. what is the force exerted by gravity on 700g ?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

6.86 N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = mg............... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted by gravity on the mass, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Note: The Force exerted by gravity on the mass is thesame as the weight of the body.

From the question,

Given: m = 700 g = (700/1000) = 0.7 kg

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 9.8(0.7)

F = 6.86 N

true

Explanation:

this is because melting point and boiling point decreases down the group because they are held together by attractions between positive nuclei and delocalised electrons
