A Car with drives into a solid object with 70 km/h, from which height would it fall if it was in free fall?

Ilya [14]

Answer:

18.9 m.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 70 km/h

Height (h) =?

Next, we shall convert 70 km/h to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

3.6 km/h = 1 m/s

Therefore,

70 km/h = 70 km/h × 1 m/s / 3.6 km/h

70 km/h = 19.44 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the height. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 19.44 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Height (h) =?

v² = u² + 2gh

19.44² = 0² + (2 × 10 × h)

377.9136 = 0 + 20h

377.9136 = 20h

Divide both side by 20

h = 377.9136 / 20

h = 18.9 m

Thus, the car will fall from a height of 18.9 m

A flowerpot falls from the ledge of an apartment building. A person in an apartment below, coincidentally holding a stopwatch, n

valkas [14]

Answer

given,

height of window = 4 m

time taken to travel = 1 s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$u = \dfrac{s - \dfrac{1}{2}at^2}{t}$

$u = \dfrac{4 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^2}{1}$

u = -0.905 m/s

initial velocity of ledge v = 0

now,

v² = u² + 2 a s

(-0.905)² = 0 + 2 × 9.8 ×s

s = 0.042 m

A trolley is moving at constant speed in a friction compensated track. Some plasticine is dropped on the trolley and sticks on i

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Since the momentum of the body remains constant ( conserved) the trolley slows down (its velocity reduces) since its mass increases.

An upright object 2.80 cm tall is placed 16.0 cm away from the vertex of a concave mirror with a center of curvature of 24.0 cm.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

f = 12 cm

Explanation:

Center of Curvature:

The center of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Center of Curvature’ of mirror.

The Radius of Curvature:

The radius of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Radius of Curvature’ of mirror. It is the distance from pole to the center of curvature.

Focal Length:

The distance between principal focus and pole is called ‘Focal Length’. It is denoted by ‘F’.

The focal length of the spherical (concave) mirror is approximately equal to half of the radius of curvature:

$f = \frac{R}{2}$

where,

f = focal length = ?

R = Radius of curvature = 24 cm

Therefore,

$f = \frac{24\ cm}{2}$

f = 12 cm

Police radar equipment is used to detect the speed of objects. In one trial, the radar equipment records a stationary tree as tr

Brut [27]

Answer:

reliability

accuracy

Explanation:

If a reading of a measurement is consistently the same then the measurement is reliable.

If a reading of measurement is close the actual value of the measurement then the reading is accurate.

Here, a stationary tree shows reading 6 mph once and 0 mph another instant. So, neither the reading of a measurement is consistent not the reading of measurement is close the actual value.

Hence, the radar has problems in its reliability and accuracy
