Using the kinematic equation d = V_0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2, where d is height you can rewrite this to be d = 1/2*g*t^2 or 4.9t^2
g = a because this is a free fall
d = 1/2 * 9.81m/s^2 * 2.5^2
d = 30.65625m
d = 30.7m
Answer:
B) Friction
Explanation:
Friction is a force that acts when an object is sliding along a surface. Microscopically, this force is due to the fact that the two surfaces are not perfectly smooth, but they have "imperfections" that cause a force that opposes the motion of the object.
For an object sliding on a flat surface, the force of friction has magnitude:
where
is the coefficient of kinetic friction
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
The direction of the force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion of the object.
In reality, friction also acts if the object is at rest and it is pushed by a force; in this case, we talk about static friction, and its magnitude is
where 
is called coefficient of static friction, and it is generally larger than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
Answer:
Total energy is constant
Explanation:
The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).
This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.
This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.
In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.
However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.
