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

Describe the principle of conversation of energy:
exis [7]

Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another

Explanation:

The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.

Practical examples include:

- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy

- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy

- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc

Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical
lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}} (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}

\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2 (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio \frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}} is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:

\frac{T_{A}^{2}}{a_{A}^{3}}=\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{a_{B}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{T_{A}^{2}}=\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2a_{A})^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}

\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{2^3}{1}}=2.83

If a cart goes around a turn at 20 km/h ,what remains constant
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 4.speed

Explanation:

In this case, we know that the cart remains at a constant 20km/h.

Now, one could say that "the velocity remains constant, because it always is 20km/h"

But remember that velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, and if the cart is going around a turn, then the direction of motion is changing, which tell us that there is acceleration.

But the module of the velocity, the speed, remains constant at 20km/h.

Then the correct option is 4, speed.
