Answer:

1.8 m

Explanation:

Given: Glass falls from a table, smashes 0.6 seconds later

To find: How high a table is

Formula: Vv=gt, dv=1/2gt^2, t=2d/g

Solution: A table's height is measured from the top of the edge down to the floor. The tables are shown both have a height of 30 inches, which is common for many tables.

Data

t = 0.6s

g = 9.81 m/s²

d = ?

Equation

d = $\frac{1}{2}$ $gt$ ²

Math & Units

d = 4.905 (0.6²)
d = 442.676

Hence the table is 1.8 m high

Kevin jumps straight up in the air to a height of 1 meter.At the top of his jump, he has potential energy of 1,000 joules.Answer

Llana [10]

Gravitational potential energy can be given by the equation
PE = mgh
where m is the mass,
g is the gravitational constant 9.81 or 10 depending on rounding
and h is the height

well weight is a force equiavlent to
W= m*g

so comparing that to the potential energy equation, divide the potential energy by the height and you will get weight in Newtons

‏A 50 - N x m torque acts on a wheel with a moment of inertia 150 kg x m² . If the wheel starts from rest , how long will it tak

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

t = 6.17 s

Explanation:

For a 1 revolution movement, $\triangle \theta = 2\pi$

Torque, $\tau = 50 Nm$

Moment of Inertia, $I = 150 kg m^2$

If the wheel starts from rest, $w_{0} = 0 rad/s$

The angular displacement of the wheel can be given by the formula:

$\triangle \theta = \omega_0 t + 0.5 \alpha t^2$ ................(1)

Where $\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

$\tau = I \alpha\\\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I} \\\alpha = 50/150\\\alpha = 0.33 rad/s^2$

To get t, put all necessary parameters into equation (1)

$2\pi = 0(t) + 0.5(0.33)t^2\\2\pi =0.5(0.33)t^2\\t^2 = \frac{4 \pi}{0.33} \\t^2 = 38.08\\t = 6.17 s$

It's a cloudy and rainy day. The air pressure is most likely _____.

kramer

The air pressure ( or atmospheric pressure ) is the force of air over a unit of area. Changes in the air pressure causes the weather changes. High pressure usually brings good weather with dry and cool air. But in a low pressure zone warm air is rising up. This vertical movements are caused by winds high in the troposphere. Water molecules stay as a gas in warmer air. After the vertical movement they condense and bring steady continuous rain. Therefore the low pressure brings cloudly and rainy weather. Answer: The air pressure is most likely low.
