John and Caroline go out for a walk one day. This graph represents the distance they traveled over time.
1 answer:
Answer:
From 0.75 to 1.25 hours
Explanation:
Given
See attachment for graph
Required
Point where they didn't move
This means that we identify the point where the distance didn't change.
Given that the distance is plotted on the y-axis, we simply check for the end points of any horizontal line on the graph
The horizontal line on the graph represents 30km and the time interval is: 0.75 to 1.25 hours.

Answer:
<em>The object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe</em>
Explanation:
<u>Free Falling</u>
When an object is released from rest in free air (no friction), the motion is completely dependant on the acceleration of gravity g.
If we drop an object of mass m near the Earth surface from a height h, it has initial mechanical energy of
When the object strikes the ground, all the mechanical energy (only potential energy) becomes into kinetic energy
Where v is the speed just before hitting the ground
If we know the speed v is safe for the integrity of the object, then we can know the height it was dropped from
Solving for h
If the drop had occurred in the Moon, then
Where hM, vM and gM are the corresponding parameters on the Moon. We know v is the safe hitting speed and the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is g_M=1/6 g
This means the object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe
