An object is released from rest near and above Earth’s surface from a distance of 10m. After applying the appropriate kinematic

equation, a student predicts that it will take 1.43s for the object to reach the ground with a speed of 14.3m/s . After performing the experiment, it is found that the object reaches the ground after a time of 3.2s. How should the student determine the actual speed of the object when it reaches the ground? Assume that the acceleration of the object is constant as it falls.

Answer:

v_y = 12.54 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial vertical distance y_o = 10 m

- Initial velocity v_y,o  = 0 m/s

- The acceleration of object in air = a_y

- The actual time taken to reach ground t = 3.2 s

Find:

- Determine the actual speed of the object when it reaches the ground?

Solution:

- Use kinematic equation of motion to compute true value for acceleration of the ball as it reaches the ground:

                             y = y_o + v_y,o*t + 0.5*a_y*t^2

                             0 = 10 + 0 + 0.5*a_y*(3.2)^2

                             a_y = - 20 / (3.2)^2 = 1.953125 m/s^2

- Use the principle of conservation of total energy of system:

                             E_p - W_f = E_k

Where,                  E_p = m*g*y_o

                             W_f = m*a_y*(y_i - y_f)      ..... Effects of air resistance

                             E_k = 0.5*m*v_y^2

Hence,                  m*g*y_o - m*a_y*(y_i - y_f) = 0.5*m*v_y^2

                             g*(10) - (1.953125)*(10) = 0.5*v_y^2

                             v_y = sqrt (157.1375)

                            v_y = 12.54 m/s

The terrestrial planets are made almost entirely of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. According to modern science, wher
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

They were produced by stars that lived and died before our solar system was born.

Explanation:

According to what it's understood today, all elements heavier than hydrogen (including helium and excluding some that were created in laboratories) are created through nuclear fusion in the core of stars.

They start fusing hydrogen into helium, then as the star grows older helium is fused into beryllium and so on for all the periodic table.

So as far as science understands it today it's a literal truth that we are made of stars. (as almost everything else)

A car covers 120 km in 3 hours calculate its speed in m/s​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

11.1 m/s

Explanation:

120 km = 120 x 1,000 = 120,000 m

3 hours = 3 x 60 x 60 = 3600 x 3 = 10,800 s

speed = 120,000 / 10,800

= 1200/108

= 11.1 m/s

The stopping distances associated with slower speeds approximate the forward visibilities provided by low beam lights. However,
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Illumination distance is the distance, up to which the light of the vehicle can reach. Hence, it is a maximum distance from the, that driver can see.

Stopping distance is the minimum distance required by the car to stop after brakes are applied.

So, in order to avoid any accident the illumination distance must be greater than the stopping distance. So, the driver can stop the vehicle in time, when he sees something in front of it.

Since, the stopping distance in this case is two or three times longer than illumination distance. Therefore, low beam light does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations.

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>a. True</u>
