One fine summer day a group of students was jumping from a railroad bridge into the river below. They stepped off the bridge wit

h an acceleration (due to gravity) of 9.8 m/s2 and they hit the water 1.5 s later. How high (in meters) was the bridge? Only enter the number, not the units.

Answer:

11 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

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

Time (t) = 1.5 s

Height (h) =..?

The height of the bridge can be obtained by using the following formula:

h =½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 1.5²

= 4.9 × 2.25

= 11.025 ≈ 11 m

Thus, the height of the bridge is approximately 11 m

A car slid off an icy 10m bridge and landed 12m away from the bridge. How much time was the car in the air? (Hunt: Projectile)
Contact [7]

You will use the height of the bridge from the ground.

Solution:

Formula to be used is y=Viy(t)+g(t^2)/2

Where:

Vi=initial velocity which is 0 m/s

 y=10 m

Gravitational acceleration or g =9.8m/s^2

T= time you need

Substitute all the given to the formula

10m=(0m/s)(t)+(9.8m/s^2)(t^2)/2

10mx2=9.8m/s^2(t^2)

Now isolate the variable you want to find which is T or time

10mx2/9.8m/s^2=t^2

20m/9.8m/s^2=t^2

Square root of 2.04= square root of t^2

T=1.43 secs

The answer is 1.43 seconds

Which of these objects must have the greatest force acting on it? pls help fast
8_murik_8 [283]

Let's look at Newton's second law

  • F=ma

Force is directly proportional towards mass

If mass is more force will be more.

Between baseball and bowling ball Bowling ball has higher mass

So it would expert most force
