Answer:

0.55 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 1.5 m

Horizontal velocity (v) = 25 m/s

Time of flight (t) =?

The time of flight of the potato talks about the total time spent by the potato in the air i.e the time taken for the potato to get to the ground..

Thus, we can obtain the time of flight of the potato as illustrated below:

Height (h) = 1.5 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time of flight (t) =?

H = ½gt²

1.5 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.5 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.5 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.5 / 4.9)

t = 0.55 s

Thus, the time of flight is 0.55 s

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

<h2>A. Nearsightedness</h2>

Explanation:

A nearsightedness is an eye defect that occurs when someone is only able to see close ranged object but not far distance object. According to the question, if the length of my eye decreases slightly as I age, this means there is a possibility that I will find it difficult to view a far distance object as I age.

At 70, once my eyes had decreased slightly in length, this means I will only be able to see close ranged object but not far distant object, showing that I am now suffering from nearsightedness according to its definition above.

The main cause of weather is?
allsm [11]

Answer: Weather on Earth is caused by heat from the sun and movement of the air. All weather happens in the lower layer of Earth's atmosphere, which is a layer of gases surrounding Earth. The sun's heat warms the air in this layer to different temperature levels in different places. ... This movement of air is what we call wind.

klio [65]

Answer:

The acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of an object on a circular path is given by :

a=r\omega^2

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Let r_1 is distance of Abbie from the merry-go-round and r_2 is distance of Zak's from the merry-go-round. Acceleration of Abbie is :

a_1=r_1\omega^2 ...... (1)

r_1=1\ m

Acceleration of Zak's is :

a_2=r_2\omega^2 .......(2)

r_2=2\ m

Dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :

\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{a_2}{2}

So, the acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.

A small metal bar whose initial temperature was 20 degrees Celsius is dropped into a large container of boiling water. How long
Vesnalui [34]
Below is the answer. I hope it help.
T ( t ) = C e k t + T m where Tm is the temperature of the surroundings 
T ( t ) = C e k t + T m
T ( 0 ) = 20
T ( 1 ) = T ( 0 ) + 2 = 22
C + T m = 20 C+Tm=20 
C e k + T m = 22
