You drop a stone down off a bridge. You are able to count to 4.0 seconds when it finally hits the water. How high is the bridge?

Answer:

The height of the bridge is 78.4 m.

Explanation:

Given;

time of the stone motion off the bridge, t = 4.0 s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The height of the bridge is given by;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

where;

u is the initial velocity of the stone, u = 0

h = ¹/₂gt²

h = ¹/₂(9.8)(4)²

h = 78.4 m

Therefore, the height of the bridge is 78.4 m.

<h2>Answer:g=9.79 $ms^{-2}$ ,A object of mass $m$ at the surface of earth experiences a force $mg$ </h2>

Explanation:

Let $M$ be the mass of earth.

Let $R$ be the radius of earth.

Let $G$ be the universal gravitational constant.

Given,

$M=5.96\times 10^{24}Kg$

$R=6.37\times 10^{6}m$

$G=6.67259 \times 10^{-11}$ $Nm^{2}Kg^{-2}$

Let $g$ be the acceleration due to gravity.

Then, $g=\dfrac{GM}{R^{2}}$

$g=\frac{6.67259 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.96\times 10^{24}}{(6.37\times 10^{6})^{2}}$

$g=9.79ms^{-2}$

A object of mass $m$ at the surface of earth experiences a force $mg$

What unita are used to measure electrical current

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

It's called an ampere!

Explanation:

The SI unit of electric current is the ampere, which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. The ampere (symbol: A) is an SI base unit Electric current is measured using a device called an ammeter.

Hope this helps :)

In 1610, galileo used his telescope to discover four prominent moons around jupiter. their mean orbital radii a and periods t ar

katrin2010 [14]

Time period of any moon of Jupiter is given by

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}$

from above formula we can say that mass of Jupiter is given by

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

now for part a)

$r = 4.22 * 10^8 m$

T = 1.77 day = 152928 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (4.22 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(152928)^2}$

$M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg$

Part B)

$r = 6.71 * 10^8 m$

T = 3.55 day = 306720 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (6.71 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(306720)^2}$

$M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg$

Part c)

$r = 10.7 * 10^8 m$

T = 7.16 day = 618624 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (10.7 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(618624)^2}$

$M = 1.89* 10^{27} kg$

PART D)

$r = 18.8 * 10^8 m$

T = 16.7 day = 1442880 seconds

now by above formula

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

$M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (18.8 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(1442880)^2}$

$M = 1.889* 10^{27} kg$

A student hangs a wood block from a spring. The student pulls the block downwards so the spring is stretched and holds the block

Murrr4er [49]

Kinetic energy because of the wood plank is just still and not moving it’s potential but since it’s asking which one it doesn’t have it doesn’t have kinetic energy cause it’s not moving

how does the size of objects impact the pull of gravity between Earth and a baseball thrown into the air

Reil [10]

it's how much it weighs and how much force is pushing on it like a egg if i drop it the weigh can cause it to break and how much force the gravity is pushing on it.
