Answer:

1. 0.45 s.

2. 4.41 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 1 m

Time (t) =?

Velocity (v) =?

1. Determination of the time taken for the pencil to hit the floor.

Height (h) = 1 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.8

t² = 1/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1/4.9)

t = 0.45 s.

Thus, it will take 0.45 s for the pencil to hit the floor.

2. Determination of the velocity with which the pencil hit the floor.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 0.45 s.

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 0.45)

v = 0 + 4.41

v = 4.41 m/s

Thus, the pencil hit the floor with a velocity of 4.41 m/s

Answer: 1.14 N

Explanation :

As any body submerged in a fluid, it receives an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid removed by the body, which can be expressed as follows:

Fb = δair . Vb . g = 1.29 kg/m3 . 4/3 π (0.294)3  m3. 9.8 m/s2

Fb = 1.34 N

In the downward direction, we have 2 external forces acting upon the balloon: gravity and the tension in the line, which sum must be equal to the buoyant force, as the balloon is at rest.

We can get the gravity force as follows:

Fg = (mb +mhe) g  

The mass of helium can be calculated as the product of the density of the helium times the volume of the balloon (assumed to be a perfect sphere), as follows:

MHe = δHe . 4/3 π (0.294)3 m3 = 0.019 kg

Fg = (0.012 kg + 0.019 kg) . 9.8 m/s2 = 0.2 N

Equating both sides of Newton´s 2nd Law in the vertical direction:

T + Fg = Fb

T = Fb – Fg = 1.34 N – 0.2 N = 1.14 N

Which phrase desenbes an irregular galaxy ?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

contains many young stars

Explanation:

Irregular galaxies have <em>no definite shape</em>, which means that the first option is incorrect. They are definitely not round.

However,<u> they contain many young stars because the degree of star formation is fast.</u> They also contain old stars. Thus, the second choice is correct.

The "spiral galaxy" is the type of galaxy that has arms that extend from the center. These arms look "spiral," which influenced its name. This makes the last choice incorrect.

They are actually <u>smaller than the other types of galaxies.</u> This makes them <em>prone to collisions</em>. This makes the last choice incorrect.

A falcon can descend with a speed 250 km/h. If a falcon flies at this speed for 2.0 s and then flies a 100 m in 2.5 s, what is t
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

v= s/t

Explanation:

250 km/ h =69.44m/s

S1=2 times 69.44 ≈ 139m

Next 2.5 seconds:

S2 = 100m

Average speed:

v=139m+100m/2s+2.5s = 239/4.5s = 53.2 m/s=192km/h
