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

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

When wile coyote is launched his velocity is 20 m/s. As a slightly underweight 10kg coyote, how far would the 400 N/m spring hav
Deffense [45]

Answer:

E = 1/2 m v^2 = 1/2 k x^2     equating KE of coyote and spring

x^2 = m v^2 / k = 10 kg * 20^2 m^2 / s^2 / 400 N / m

x^2 = 10 * 400 / 400 (kg m^3 / kg-m) = 10 m^2

x = 3.16 m
