Evaporation (or another word to use is water vapor.)
The velocity is given by:
V = √(Vx²+Vy²)
V = velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity, Vy = vertical velocity
Given values:
Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s
Plug in and solve for V:
V = √(6²+12²)
V = 13.42m/s
Now find the direction:
θ = tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)
θ = angle of velocity off horizontal, Vy = vertical velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity
Given values:
Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s
Plug in and solve for θ:
θ = tan⁻¹(12/6)
θ = 63.4°
The resultant velocity is 13.42m/s at an angle of 63.4° off the horizontal.
There's no air in space, so there's no air resistance there.
The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.
Then using the second law of equation,
Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so
So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
