Here's a formula for the distance an object falls from rest:

D = (1/2) A T² ... <== MEMORIZE THIS

Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time²)

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is always 9.8 m/s².  So for a fall that starts with zero speed, the formula says

70 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time²)

70 m = (4.9 m/s²) (time²)

Divide each side by  (4.9 m/s²) ;

time² = (70 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

time² = (70/4.9) sec²

time = √(70/4.9)  seconds

time = 3.78 seconds

according to newton's first law of motion what is the reason for a ball throwing up in the airfall back to earth
skelet666 [1.2K]
The force of earth's gravitational field is always directed downwards (towards the center of the earth. When the ball is thrown up, it is going against the earth's gravitational field and so, the earth's gravitational force pulls it back down, accelerating it downwards.

A police car parked on the side of the highway emits a 1200 Hz sound that bounces off a vehicle farther down the highway and ret
emmasim [6.3K]

f' = frequency observed by the police car after sound reflected from the vehicle and comes back to police car = 1250 Hz

f = frequency emitted by the police car  = 1200 Hz

V = speed of sound = 340 m/s

v = speed of vehicle = ?

frequency observed by the police car is given as

f' = f (V + v)/(V - v)

inserting the values in the above equation

1250 = 1200 (340 + v)/(340 - v)

v = 6.9 m/s

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.4

Explanation:

Given that a particular inductor is connected to a circuit where it experiences a change in current of 0.8 amps every 0.10 sec. If the inductor has a self-inductance of 2.0 V, what is the inductance

Using the power formula

P = IV

Substitute all the parameters

P = 0.8 × 2

P = 1.6 W

But P = I^2 R

Substitute power and current

1.6 = 0.8^2 R

R = 1.6 / 0.64

R = 2.5 ohms

Inductance = reciprocal of resistance

Inductance = 1 / 2.5

Inductance = 0.4
