6 0

Answer:

Basic kinematics, negating drag and assuming ideal conditions, we use the equation:

d=vi*t+1/2*a*t^2

Since vi is 0 (we know this because you’re dropping it, not throwing it)…

…and the only acceleration acting on it is gravity, a=9.8 m/s^2…

…we get

d=1/2(9.8)(5)^2

Explanation:

Some quick mental math tells us that this is about 125 m.

Plugging it in, we find it to be 122.5 m.

Astronauts measure their mass by measuring the period of oscillation when sitting in a chair connected to a spring. The Body Mas
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

55 kg

Explanation:

spring constant (k) = 600 N/m

mass of chair (Mc) = 12 kg

period of oscillation of chair and man (T) = 2.1 s

what is the mass of the astronaut (Ma) ?

mass of the astronaut (Ma) = total mass (Mt) - mass of chair (Mc)

where

  • total mass (Mt) = \frac{T^{2}}{4π^{2}}k

       taking π as 3.142

       total mass (Mt) = \frac{2.1^{2}}{4 x 3.142^{2}}600

       total mass (Mt) = 67 kg

therefore

mass of astronaut = 67 - 12 = 55 kg

Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts
wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.304 m/s2

Explanation:

If the first child is pushing with a force of 69N to the right and the 2nd child is pushing with a force of 91N to the left. Then the net pushing force is 91 - 69 = 22 N to the left. Subtracted by 15N friction force then the system of interest is subjected to F = 7 N net force tot he left.

We can use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the net acceleration of the system

a = F/m = 7 / 23 = 0.304 m/s^2
