Well we can always smell things like if food smells bad or if we smell something we have to know whether that smell is good or bad. You could be able to smell animals that are dangerous. Or animal droppings, to know what animal it is if you are in danger.
The distance an object falls, from rest, in gravity is
D = (1/2) (G) (T²)
'T' is the number seconds it falls.
In this problem,
0.92 meter = (1/2) (9.8) (T²)
Divide each side by 4.9 : 0.92 / 4.9 = T²
Take the square root
of each side: √(0.92/4.9) = T
0.433 sec = T
The horizontal speed doesn't make a bit of difference in
how long it takes to reach the floor. BUT ... if you want to
know how far from the table the pencil lands, you can find
that with the horizontal speed.
The pencil is in the air for 0.433 second.
In that time, it travels
(0.433s) x (1.4 m/s) = 0.606 meter
from the edge of the table.
Using K.E=1/2MV^2
answer is 125joules
The answer is B. Friction is going to the RIGHT because friction works against where you are trying to go
