Answer:

The force of gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2

Gravity accelerates you at 9.8 meters per second per second. After one second, you're falling 9.8 m/s. After two seconds, you're falling 19.6 m/s, and so on.

Time to splat: sqrt ( 2 * height / 9.8 )

It's the square root because you fall faster the longer you fall.

The more interesting question is why it's times two: If you accelerate for 1 second, your average speed over that time is increased by only 9.8 / 2 m/s.

Velocity at splat time: sqrt( 2 * g * height )

This is why falling from a higher height hurts more.

Energy at splat time: 1/2 * mass * velocity2 = mass * g * height

Please help with these physics problems 1. A soccer ball is dropped from the top of a building. It takes 5.8 seconds to fall to

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

1.) h = 164.8 m

2.) U = 49.1 m/s

3.) t = 1.43 seconds

Explanation:

1.) A soccer ball is dropped from the top of a building. It takes 5.8 seconds to fall to the ground. The height of the building is...?

Since the soccer ball is dropped from the building, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero

Using second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Substitutes the time into the formula

h = 1/2 × 9.8 × 5.8^2

h = 164.8 m

2. The Falcon 9 launches to a height of 123 meters. What is its vertical initial velocity?

At maximum height final velocity = 0

Using the third law of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × 123

U^2 = 2410.8

U = 49.1 m/s

3. An apple falls from rest off a 10.m m tree. How long will it take before it hits the ground?

Since the apple fall from rest, the initial velocity U will be equal to zero

Using the second equation of motion,

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

substitute all the parameters into the formula

10 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

10 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 10/4.9

t^2 = 2.04

t = 1.43 seconds

Consider the f(x) = cos(x-C) function shown in the figure in blue color, where 0 ≤ C ≤ 2π. What is the value of parameter C for

klemol [59]

The value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

<h3>What is amplitude of a wave?</h3>

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of the wave. It can also be described at the maximum upward displacement of a wave curve.

f(x) = Acos(x - C)

where;

A is amplitude of the wave
C is phase difference of the wave

<h3>What is angular frequency of a wave?</h3>

Angular frequency is the angular displacement of any element of the wave per unit time.

From the blue colored graph; at y = 1, x = -2 cm

1 = cos(2 - C)

(2 - C) = cos^(1)

(2 - C) = 0

C = 2

Thus, the value of parameter C for the function in the figure is 2.

A scientist is designing a device that will mimic Earth's atmosphere by

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

1. Ultraviolet light (UV)

2. X-rays

3. Gamma-rays

Explanation:

Though there are different types of energy or electromagnetic waves with varying wavelengths, including the likes of Gamma X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, and microwave radiation.

What is more certain is that the atmosphere blocked the high-energy waves from getting to the earth surface or biosphere such as Ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays and Gamma-rays
