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>

From what three regions do most of the small objects in the universe come?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Scientists who study the Sun usually divide it up into three main regions: the Sun's interior, the solar atmosphere, and the visible "surface" of the Sun which lies between the interior and the atmosphere. There are three main parts to the Sun's interior: the core, the radiative zone, and the convective zone.

Explanation:

Hopefully this helps :)

Starting from rest, a 4.0-kg body reaches a speed of 8.0 m/a in 20 s. What is te net force acting on the body?
Strike441 [17]
The guy below is wrong!


F=ma
Where force = mass x acceleration

We dont have acceleration, a= change in velocity divided by the time taken.
a = v (final velocity) - u (initial) / t
a us 8-0 (at rest means u was 0) / 20 = 0.4

Using F=ma

F= mass x acceleration 
F= 4 x 0.4
F=1.6 N

If the architectural plans show the rough opening of a window to be 3'-3" x 4'-9" , the height of the opening should actually me
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

height of the opening actually measure is 4'-9"

Explanation:

given data

window size = 3'-3" x 4'-9"

solution

height of the opening should actually measure will be 4'-9" in 3'-3" x 4'-9"

because according to architectural plan height can not be more than the opening size of window

and we can't take smaller height also

so fit in opening window we should take same height of  height of opening window and that is here 4'-9"

so here height of the opening actually measure is 4'-9"

What is the Scientific definition of friction?
seropon [69]
Friction<span> is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Hope this is of great help to you, and happy studying~!

11) A sled is initially given a shove up a frictionless 35º incline. It reaches a maximum height of 2.5
Andrej [43]

Answer:

7 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem you must use the conservation of energy.

K1 +U1=K2+U2

That math speak for, initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy equals final kinetic energy plus final potential energy.

The initial PE (potential energy) is 0 because it hasn't been raised in the air yet. The final KE (kinetic energy) is 0 because it isn't moving. This gives the following:

KE1= \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}}

PE2=mgh

K1=U2

\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} =mgh

Solve for v

v=\sqrt{2gh}

Input known values and you get 7 m/s.
