Answer:

<em>The building is 54.66 m tall</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall</u>

It occurs when an object falls under the sole influence of gravity and do not encounter air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is g = 9.8 m/s^2.

The distance traveled by a dropped object at time t is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

The watermelon is dropped from a tower dorm and takes t=3.34 seconds to hit the ground.

The distance traveled in that time is the height of the building:

\displaystyle h=\frac{9.8*3.34^2}{2}

h = 54.66 m

The building is 54.66 m tall

Antifreeze is a "must have" in an Albertan winter because it helps keep your vehicle engine from freezing in cold temperatures.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Products such as antifreeze are composed of organic compounds that are classified as <em>alcohols</em>. (a)

Maybe those other classes of chemicals also lower the freezing temperature of water, just like alcohol does.  I don't know.  But alcohol is what's used to make anti-freeze.  I'm guessing alcohol must be cheaper, less toxic, and less corrosive inside the engines' cooling systems than any of that other stuff is.

Ek=8J <br>m=100g <br> V=?<br><br>How much is V going to be?<br>Explain step by step, please​
Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If Ek is the kinetic energy and m is the mass and v is the velocity then v can be calculated as follows

Ek= 1/2 ×( m × v² )

2Ek= mv²

2Ek/m = v²

v =√(2Ek/m)

m = 0.1 kg

v= √(2x8/0.1)= 12.65 m/s

If you can throw a stone straight up to height h, what’s the maximum horizontal distance you could throw it over level ground?
Mariana [72]
To answer this question, first we take note that the maximum height that can be reached by an object thrown straight up at a certain speed is calculated through the equation,
                            Hmax = v²sin²θ/2g
where v is the velocity, θ is the angle (in this case, 90°) and g is the gravitational constant. Since all are known except for v, we can then solve for v whichi s the initial velocity of the projectile. 

Once we have the value of v, we multiply this by the total time traveled by the projectile to solve for the value of the range (that is the total horizontal distance).
