I drop a quarter from a 2 story house. It takes 1.85 to hit the ground. what was the velocity

At the instant you dropped it from your hand, its speed was zero.
The coin gained 9.8 m/s every second it fell.  At the end of 1.85 sec,
just before it went 'tink' onto the ground, its speed was

           (9.8 m/s) x (1.85 sec) = 18.13 m/s .

Its velocity at that final instant was 18.13 m/s downward.

svet-max [94.6K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Vacuum

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept being tested: Waves and types of waves

To answer the question we need to define both electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves.

  • Waves can be classified as either electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves based on whether they require a material medium for transmission or not.
  • Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for transmission and can travel through a vacuum.
  • Mechanical waves, on the other hand, are waves that require a material medium for transmission.

What are examples of electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves?

  • Examples of electromagnetic waves include gamma rays, radio waves, visible light, etc.
  • Examples of mechanical waves include sound waves and water waves.

Therefore, the answer to our question is;

  • Electromagnetic waves are not mechanical waves, which means they can travel in a vacuum.

What is Newton's second law of motion
Alexandra [31]
Newton’s second law is that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.

Two blocks of weight 3.0N and 7.0N are connected by a massless string and slide down a 30 degree inclined plane. The coefficient
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

a. a = 6.41 m/s^2

b. T = -0.81 N

Explanation:

Given,

  • weight of the lighter block = w_1\ =\ 3.0\ N
  • weight of the heavier block = w_2\ =\ 7.0\ N
  • inclination angle = \theta\ =\ 30^o
  • coefficient of kinetic friction between the lighter block and the surface = \mu_1\ =\ 0.13
  • coefficient of kinetic friction between the heavier block and the surface = \mu_2\ =\ 0.31
  • friction force on the lighter block = f_1\ =\ \mu_1N_1\ =\ \mu_1 w_1cos\theta
  • friction force on the heavier block = f_2\ =\ \mu_2N_2\ =\ \mu_2w_2cos\theta

Let 'a' be the acceleration of the blocks and 'T' be the tension in the string.

From the f.b.d. of the lighter block,

w_1sin\theta\ -\ T\ -\ f_1\ =\ \dfrac{w_1a}{g}\\\Rightarrow T\ =\ w_1sin\theta\ -\ \dfrac{w_1a}{g}\ -\ f_1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,eqn (1)

From the f.b.d. of the heavier block,

w_2sin\theta\ +\ T\ -\ f_2\ =\ \dfrac{w_2a}{g}\\\Rightarrow T\ =\ \dfrac{w_2a}{g}\ -\ w_2sin\theta\ -\ f_2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,eqn (2)

From eqn (1) and (2), we get,

w_1sin\theta\ -\ \dfrac{w_1a}{g}\ -\ f_1\ =\ \dfrac{w_2a}{g}\ -\ w_2sin\theta\ -\ f_2\\\Rightarrow w_1gsin\theta \ -\ w_1a\ -\ \mu_1w_1gcos\theta\ =\ w_2a\ -\ w_2gsin\theta\ -\ \mu_2 w_2gcos\theta\\

\Rightarrow a\ =\ \dfrac{g(w_1sin\theta\ -\ \mu_1w_1cos\theta\ +\ w_2sin\theta\ +\ \mu_2w_2cos\theta)}{w_1\ +\ w_2}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ \dfrac{g[sin\theta(w_1\ +\ w_2)\ +\ cos\theta(\mu_2w_2\ -\ \mu_1w_1)]}{w_1\ +\ w_2}\\

\Rightarrow a\ =\ \dfrac{9.81\times [sin30^o\times (3.0\ +\ 7.0)\ +\ cos30^o\times (0.31\times 7.0\ -\ 0.13\times 3.0)]}{3.0\ +\ 7.0}\\\Rightarrow a\ =\ 6.4\ m/s.

part (b)

From the eqn (2), we get,T\ =\ \dfrac{w_2a}{g}\ -\ w_2sin\theta\ -\ \mu_2w_2cos\theta\\\Rightarrow T\ =\ \dfrac{7.0\times 6.41}{9.81}\ -\ 7.0\times sin30^o\ -\ 0.31\times 7.0\times cos30^o\\\Rightarrow T\ =\ -0.81\ N
