Lightning does not come from the ground. It comes from the sky, mostly during thunderstorms. Watch the sky the next time you see a thunderstorm. You might see the lightning strike.

A ball falls off of a 3m tall shelf. How long will it take for the
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

0.8s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of shelf  = 3m

Unknown:

Time it will take to hit the ground  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

         x  = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt²  

x is the height

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time taken  = ?

Now insert the parameters and solve for t;

    3  = (0 x t) +( \frac{1}{2} x 9.8 x t²)

    3 = 4.9t²

       t² = 0.6

       t = 0.8s

A satellite of mass m completes one revolution around the earth at a constant speed s and radius r.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

d. The magnitude of the work done by the earth on the satellite is non zero

Explanation:

The work done is equal to the product of the force and the distance moved in the direction of the force, the force and the distance act perpendicular to one another, therefore no work is done in the circular motion of the movement of the earth.
