Answer:

7 seconds

Explanation:

Let's first write down what we have so that we can choose the correct equation of linear motion

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

distance (x) = h = 240 m

acceleration (a) = g = 9.81 m/s²

s = ut + \frac{at^{2} }{2} \\\\240 = (0)(t) + \frac{9.81t^{2} }{2}\\ \\9.81t^{2} = 480\\\\t = 6.99s\\\\t = 7 s

240 = 0+1/2 (-9.8t

240 = -4.9t

A golf ball stays on the tee until the golf club hits it. Which of the following principles best describes why this occurs? Grou
givi [52]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object continues to stay in its state of rest, or of uniform motion, until acted upon by an external force.

So in the case of the golf ball here, the ball stays in its state of rest, on the tee, until the golf club hits it, i.e. , applies an external force on it.

Hence we can say that Newton's First Law of Motion is the principle which is most suitable for explaining this phenomenon.

Which would BEST describes what occurs when a ball is thrown against a wall? A) The ball will not bounce off the wall. B) The ba
oee [108]

Answer:

D) The ball exerts a force on the wall and the wall exerts a force back.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on another object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A"

In this problem, we can identify (for instance) object A with tha ball and object B with the wall. Therefore, if we apply Newton's third law, we get:

The ball (object A) exerts a force on the wall (object B), therefore the wall (object B) exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball (object A). So, option D is the correct one.
