Hello! :)

\large\boxed{19.6 m}

Use the kinematic equation below to solve for the height of the building:

d = \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

Where:

d = distance, or height of the building (m)

a = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

t = time (seconds)

Plug in the given values into the equation:

d = \frac{1}{2} (9.8)2^{2}\\\\d = \frac{1}{2} (39.2)\\\\d = 19.6 m

State two factors that affect the spring constant of a spring made using a wire of a certain material and given thickness
MaRussiya [10]

The spring's rigidity is quantified by the spring constant. The spring constant increases as the wire's thickness increases. The spring constant lowers as the coil's diameter increases.

Material: Steel and copper are two materials that have differing constants when used to make identical springs.

Describe the spring constant ?

The restoring force applied to the spring for a given length of deflection is known as the spring constant. It is often referred to as the amount of force needed to extend or compress a spring one unit of length.

The level of resistance to spring deformation is expressed by the spring constant. In addition to being known as spring stiffness or spring rate, the spring constant and It is represented by the letter "K."

The following variables affect the coil spring's spring constant:-

a) Modulus of rigidity (G): As the modulus of rigidity of the spring material increases, so does the coil spring's spring constant.

b) Wire diameter (d): As the diameter of the spring wire grows, so does the spring constant.

c) Coil diameter (D): As the diameter of the spring coil increases, so does the spring's spring constant.

d) Number of coils (n): As the number of spring coils increases, the spring constant decreases.

A car is travelling with a velocity of 10 m/s and has a mass of 550 kg. The<br> car has<br> energy.
Elenna [48]

Answer: The car has a kinetic energy (because it's in motion) of:  27500J

Explanation:

Formula: E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

E=\frac{1}{2}(550kg)(10m/s)^2

E=\frac{1}{2}(550kg)(100m^2/s^2)

E=\frac{1}{2}(55000J)\\E=27500J

The law of reflection establishes a definite relationship between the angle of incidence of a light ray striking the boundary be
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection.

Explanation:

Reflection is the phenomenon that occurs when a ray of light hits the boundary between two media and it is reflected back into the first medium.

In such a situation, we call:

- angle of incidence: it is the angle between the direction of the incident ray and the normal to the surface

- angle of reflection: it is the angle between the direction of the reflected ray and the normal to the surface

There is a precise relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. In fact, the Law of Reflection states that:

- The incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal to the surface all lie within the same plane

- The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

The net force is 180 and the mass is 1.793 what is the acceleration
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

100.390407

Explanation:

To find acceleration, you would use the formula a=f/m (acceleration equals force divided by mass) and then once you enter those numbers in the formula, a=180/1.793. Then you divide 180 divided by 1.793 which gets you an answer of 100.390407.
