The maximum height that is reached by an object thrown or jumped at a certain initial velocity can be calculated through the equation,

   2ad = Vf² - Vi²

Vf is zero (0) in this equation because this is the point at the velocity at the maximum height of the object.

Substituting the known values,
  2(a)(-16) = 0 - (3.6)²

The value of a from the equation is 0.405 m/s².

<em>Answer: 0.405 m/s²</em>

What happens to heat energy after an object is cooled down lolololol asking for my bff
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Heat energy does not cool. Objects cool. Energy is not an object. Now, what happens when an object cools is that it gives off some of its thermal energy by one or more mechanisms: radiation, conduction, or convection. In radiation the energy escaped the object as electromagnetic waves - you see the red hot poker slowly dim as it cools, in conduction the energy is transferred Mechanically by the atoms of the hot object being in physical contact with those of the cool object and in convection the hot material moves to a cooler region where it gives up its heat energy by either radiation or conduction.

explain why conductors and insulators are both required to construct the electrical wiring in your home
olchik [2.2K]
Conductors (something that allows electricity to flow easily) allow for electricity to flow easily. This would be the wires. If you don't have conductors, then you cannot have electricity flow.

Insulators (something that doesn't allow electricity to flow through it) is important because it allows us to be able to touch the cables or place them next to one another and not shock ourselves

Hope this helps

Under which condition would time periods of daylight and darkness be equal everywhere on Earth all year? A. if Earth revolved ar
Marizza181 [45]
The correct answer is
<span>B. if Earth rotated on an axis that was not tilted with respect to Earth's orbit 

In fact, the fact that Earth's axis is tilted is the reason why the durations of day and night are different in every part of the Earth. If the axis was not tilted, we would have exactly 12 hours of day and night in every point of the Earth, for the whole year.</span>
