Answer: 17.68 s

Explanation:

This problem is a good example of Vertical motion, where the main equation for this situation is:  

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)  

Where:  

y=0 is the height of the ball when it hits the ground  

y_{o}=70 m is the initial height of the ball

V_{o}=82m/s is the initial velocity of the ball  

t is the time when the ball strikes the ground

g=9.8m/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity  

Having this clear, let's find t from (1):  

0=70m+(82m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2} (2)  

Rewritting (2):

-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}+(82m/s)t+70m=0 (3)  

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form at^{2}+bt+c=0, which can be solved with the following formula:

t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}  (4)

Where:

a=-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^{2}

b=82m/s

c=70m

Substituting the known values:

t=\frac{-82 \pm \sqrt{82^{2}-4(-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(70)}}{2a}  (5)

Solving (5) we find the positive result is:

t=17.68 s

Paraphin [41]

The formula for momentum is p = m*v

The conservation of momentum suggests:

m*vi = m*vf (initial mass times initial velocity = final mass times final velocity or initial momentum = final momentum)

(0.0010)(52.2) = (0.0010 + 3.3)vf

vf = (0.0010)(52.2)/(0.0010 + 3.3) = 0.0522/3.301 ≈ 0.01581 m/s

To the nearest thousandth  ≈ .016 m/s

Two cars, with the same mass and traveling at the same speed, hit large trees head-on. One car has a rigid body that undergoes l
nordsb [41]

The crumple zones in the second car will improve the chance of survival of the driver because it will act as shock absorber, reducing the impact of the force on the driver.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The car with rigid body will exert maximum force to the driver while the car with crumple zone will exert lesser force to the driver since the crumple zone will act as shock absorber, reducing the impact of the force on the driver.

Thus, the crumple zones in the second car will improve the chance of survival of the driver because it will act as shock absorber, reducing the impact of the force on the driver.

Which of the following has potential but not kinetic energy?
gavmur [86]

The answer would be option D "a ball sitting on a shelf." Potential energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's at rest.. (or not moving) Kinetic energy is how much energy a object is while it's moving. So in this case it's option D because a ball sitting on a shelf isn't moving therefore it has potential energy. It's not option A because thats a example of kinetic energy since how the roller coaster is moving. It's not option B because it's kinetic energy because the bike is moving. It's also not option C because it's kinetic energy because the bird is moving.


Hope this helps!

Estimate the number of atoms in 1 cm^3 of a solid
dexar [7]
Avogadro's number: 6.02 x 10^23 atoms is present in 1mol of a solid (i.e. 22, 400 cm3)

Hence, in 1 cm3, 6.02 x 10^23 /22400 atoms is present = 2 x 10 ^ 19 atoms.
