Answer:

  • <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

  • Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

  • Average speed = distance / time

Then:

  • (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

  • Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

  • Vf + Vi = 90.634      equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

  • Vf - Vi = 64.876     equation 2

Adding the two equations:

  • 2Vf = 155.510

  • Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)

9. a. Determine the mass of a football which has a weight of 0.80 N on a planet where the gravitational field strength is 2 N/kg
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

m = 0.4 [kg]

Explanation:

Weight is considered as a force and this is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W=m*g\\

where:

W = weight = 0.8 [N]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration 2[N/kg]

Therefore:

m=W/g\\m = .8/2\\m = 0.4 [kg]

If you touch the two terminals of a power supply with your two fingertips on opposite hands, the potential difference will produ
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.

Explanation:

Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.

Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.

Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:

I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3

I= 0.24 mA

Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.

Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:

I = 120 / 1000

I = 12 mA

The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.

A rollercoaster car has 2500 J of potential energy and 160 J of
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

E_{k2}=2660 [J] kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The energy in the initial state i.e. when the rollercoaster is at the top is equal to the energy in the final state i.e. when it is at the bottom of the hill.

These states can be represented by means of the second equation.

E_{k1}+E_{p1}=E_{k2}\\160 + 2500 = E_{k2}\\E_{k2}=2660 [J]

Since the rollercoaster is located in the bottom of the hill where the potential energy level is zero, therefore there is only kinetic energy in the second state.

Technician A says that vehicle-to-vehicle communication results in fewer traffic collisions. Technician B says there are concern
Leto [7]

Answer:

Option C. Both technicians A and B are correct

Explanation:

Vehicle-to-vehicle communications consists of a wireless network where automobiles send messages containing operational information such as speed, location, direction of travel, braking, and loss of stability.

Technician A is correct, there will be fewer traffic collision because each driver will have enough information about traffic flow and such information will be properly managed since they have been known before hand.

By letting out information, such as your location, direction of traffic, etc, there is loss of privacy. This can lead to a security threat on the part of the users
