A geologist is studying rock layers in an old river bed, and he finds a fossil of a fish and a horsetail rush in the same rock layer. According to the law of faunal and floral succession, the geologist can assume that the rock containing the fossils may date back as far as the <span>Devonian period</span>.
The body releases endorphins
Answer:
C. Constant
Explanation:
The total energy of the cannonball remains constant as it travels through the air.
Answer:
(a) a = - 201.8 m/s²
(b) s = 197.77 m
Explanation:
(a)
The acceleration can be found by using 1st equation of motion:
Vf = Vi + at
a = (Vf - Vi)/t
where,
a = acceleration = ?
Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since it is finally brought to rest)
Vi = Initial Velocity = (632 mi/h)(1609.34 m/ 1 mi)(1 h/ 3600 s) = 282.53 m/s
t = time = 1.4 s
Therefore,
a = (0 m/s - 282.53 m/s)/1.4 s
<u>a = - 201.8 m/s²</u>
<u></u>
(b)
For the distance traveled, we can use 2nd equation of motion:
s = Vi t + (0.5)at²
where,
s = distance traveled = ?
Therefore,
s = (282.53 m/s)(1.4 s) + (0.5)(- 201.8 m/s²)(1.4 s)²
s = 395.54 m - 197.77 m
<u>s = 197.77 m</u>
