Answer:

The first clue that an asteroid had struck earth at around the same time as the mass extinction was the amount of iridium around the K-T boundary. Another clue was that they found that most animals that lived in the cretaceous died when the asteroid crashed and they found bones of animals from the cretaceous.

A 107 gram apple falls from a branch that is 2 meters above the ground. (a) How much time elapses before the apple hits the grou

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The time of motion is 0.64 s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the apple, m = 107 g

height of fall, h = 2 m

The velocity of the apple when it hits the ground is calculated from the law of conservation of energy;

$P.E = K.E\\\\mgh = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\gh = \frac{1}{2} v^2\\\\v^2 = 2gh\\\\v = \sqrt{2gh} \\\\v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2} \\\\v = 6.261 \ m / s$

The time of motion is calculated;

v = u + gt

6.261 = 0 + 9.8t

6.261 = 9.8t

t = 6.261 / 9.8

t = 0.64 s

Therefore, the time of motion is 0.64 s
