Answer:

Final speeds are equal to each other.

Explanation:

Both objects experiment a change in their velocities because of gravity. Let model each object by following equations:

Object A - Throw Up

v = -\sqrt{v_{o}^{2}+2\cdot g \cdot h}

Object B - Throw Down

v = -\sqrt{v_{o}^{2}+2\cdot g \cdot h}

Where h is the height difference between the top of the building and the street. Let consider upward speed positive.

Final speeds are equal to each other.

Answer:

The two objects are traveling at the same speed.

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, an object that is thrown up from the top of a tall building has the same speed as the second object thrown down from the top of the same tall building since the initial speed is the same.

The object thrown up is not traveling faster neither is the object thrown down traveling faster.  

Therefore, the two objects will have the same speed when they hit the ground but their time of landing might be different.

Calculate the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 60 Hz and wavelength of 2.0 m/s
mote1985 [20]

Answer:We have , a relation in frequency f and wavelength  λ of a wave having the velocity v as ,

           v=fλ ,

given f=60Hz , λ=20m ,

therefore velocity of wave , v=60×20=1200m/s

A charge of 90 C passes through a wire in 1 hour 15 minutes . what is the current in the wire
timurjin [86]
We calculate current from the formula:
I= \frac{q}{t} , where q is a electric charge transferred over time t 
Time should be converted to seconds:
1h 15 min= 75min= 4500s
I=\frac{90C}{4500s}=0,02A Result is in unit-Ampere

Three identical springs, each with stiffness 1200 N/m are attached in series (that is, end to end) to make a longer spring to ho
OLga [1]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

400N/m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When n identical springs of stiffness k, are attached in series, the reciprocal of their equivalent stiffness (1 / m) is given by the sum of the reciprocal of their individual stiffnesses. i.e

\frac{1}{m} = ∑ⁿ₁ [\frac{1}{k_{i}}]          -----------------------(i)

That is;

\frac{1}{m} = \frac{1}{k_{1}} + \frac{1}{k_{2}} + \frac{1}{k_{3}} + . . . + \frac{1}{k_{n}}      -------------------(ii)

If they have the same value of stiffness say s, then equation (ii) becomes;

\frac{1}{m} = n x \frac{1}{s}           -----------------(iii)

Where;

n = number of springs

From the question,

There are 3 identical springs, each with stiffness of 1200N/m and they are attached in series. This implies that;

n = 3

s = 1200N/m

Now, to calculate the effective stiffness,m, (i.e the stiffness of a longer spring formed from the series combination of these springs), we substitute these values into equation (iii) above as follows;

\frac{1}{m} = 3 x \frac{1}{1200}

\frac{1}{m} = \frac{3}{1200}

\frac{1}{m} = \frac{1}{400}

Cross multiply;

m = 400N/m  

Therefore, the stiffness of the longer spring is 400N/m
