There are already derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. For free falling objects, they are further simplified because only the gravitational force is acting on the body. The equations for time and velocity at impact are:

t = √2h/g
v = √2gh
where
h is the height
g is the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s²

1.  t = √2(380 m)/9.81 m/s² = 8.8 seconds
2.  v = √2(9.81 m/s²)(380 m) = 86.3 m/s

Explaining How Momentum Can Cause
Ghella [55]

Answer:

The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.

A meteorologist plans to release a weather balloon from ground level, to be used for high-altitude atmospheric measurements. The
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

563.86 N

Explanation:

We know the buoyant force F = weight of air displaced by the balloon.

F = ρgV where ρ = density of air = 1.29 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and V = volume of balloon = 4πr/3 (since it is a sphere) where r = radius of balloon = 2.20 m

So, F = ρgV = ρg4πr³/3

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F =  1.29 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 4π × (2.20 m)³/3

= 1691.58 N/3

= 563.86 N

Which team sport utilizes judges to determine the points earned? Football Hockey Rhythmic Gymnastics Soccer
finlep [7]

Answer:

Rhythmic Gymnastics

Explanation:

In general, the judges in the sports tend to be in charge for correcting and controlling the breaking of the rules in the particular sport. They are allowed to punish the competitors in accordance with the breaking of the rule, or they are there in order to determine weather a point is regular or not. In the rhythmic gymnastics though, and sports similar to it, the judges have different role, as they are in charge of determining the points earned by the competitors. This is done in a manner where every judge gives certain amount of points, or grades, and when those are summed up, the competitors get their total points.

Blue light of wavelength λ passes through a single slit of width d and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen. If we replace th
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

We can retain the original diffraction pattern if we change the slit width to d) 2d.

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern of a single slit has a bright central maximum and dimmer maxima on either side. We will retain the original diffraction pattern on a screen if the relative spacing of the minimum or maximum of intensity remains the same when changing the wavelength and the slit width simultaneously.

Using the following parameters: <em>y</em> for the distance from the center of the bright maximum to a place of minimum intensity, <em>m</em> for the order of the minimum, <em>λ </em>for the wavelength, <em>D </em>for the distance from the slit to the screen where we see the pattern and <em>d </em>for the slit width. The distance from the center to a minimum of intensity can be calculated with:

                                                    y\approx\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

From the above expression we see that if we replace the blue light of wavelength λ by red light of wavelength 2λ in order to retain the original diffraction pattern we need to change the slit width to 2d:

<em>                                                 </em>y\approx\frac{m\lambda D}{d} =\frac{m2\lambda D}{2d}
