A boy threw a small bundle toward his girlfriend on a balcony 10. meters above him. The bundle stopped rising in 1.5 seconds. Ho

w high did the bundle travel? Was that high enough for her to catch it?

Hi!


We know that the boy must have thrown the bundle with some initial velocity 'v', and that the bundle stops after 1.5 seconds at a height 's' with a final velocity 'u' -which would be 0.

Our known values thus are:

Time (t) = 1.5 s

Final velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Gravitational acceleration (g) = -9.8 m/s^(2)

<em>Note: that the acceleration is negative as it is opposing the direction of motion (acting  down on the object, causing deceleration)</em>

We will be using <em>equations of motion for an accelerating object</em> to solve first for initial velocity, in order to find the distance.

<h3>Initial Velocity using     <u>v = u + at</u></h3>

Rearranging the equation, and using the value 'g' as our acceleration, we get,<em> u = v - at</em>

u = 0 - (-9.8)(1.5) = 14.7m/s

<h3>Distance Travelled using   <u>v^2 = u^2 + 2as</u></h3>

Rearranging the equation, we get, <em>s= v^(2) - u^(2) / 2a</em>

s = 0^(2) - 14^(2) / 2(-9.8)                          

<em>Note: the negative sign is not a part of the initial velocity, but a part of the equation </em>

s = - 216.09 / -19.6 = 11.025 m


The distance traveled by the bundle is hence, ~ 11 meters, which is high enough for the girl to catch.


Hope this helps!

Concerns over a global dependence on fossil fuels include environmental, economic, and social consequences.
Natasha2012 [34]

True

Explanation:

Concerns over a global dependence on fossil fuels include environmental, economic and social consequences. The effect of reliance on fossil fuels cuts across on almost all aspect of life.

  • Environmental concerns include pollution, acid rain, global warming e.t.c
  • Economic consequences involves monopoly of the energy market, scarcity, inflation, corruption e.t.c
  • Social consequences include reduced standard of living, poverty, e.t.c

Fossil fuel is a non-renewable source of energy.

Simple epithelia have more layers for protection, whereas stratified epithelia allow materials to move across them and are less
xeze [42]

Answer: False.

Explanation:

Epithelial tissue is found in the linings of many structures throughout the body. There are two kinds of epithelial tissue: simple and stratified. And they  perform different functions and are structured differently.

The simple epithelium consists of one single layer of cells. In this way, all cells are in direct contact with the basement membrane and are separated from the connective tissue. The main function of this epithelium is <u>absorption and filtration.</u>

The stratified epithelium is composed of many layers of cells that are stacked together. In this way, this epithelium has the function of <u>protecting against physical and chemical damage.</u>
