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

Question 4 How much time does it take to walk 8 km north at a velocity of 3.8 km/h?​
IrinaVladis [17]

Given parameters:

Displacement = 8km

Velocity  = 3.8km/h

Unknown:

time  = ?

Solution:

Velocity is displacement divided by time.

  Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}  

      Displacement  = velocity x time

Input the parameters:

              8  = 3.8  x time

 Time  = \frac{8}{3.8}   = 2.1s

The time taken is 2.1s

Which of these is most likely consequence of failing petroleum prices
melisa1 [442]

More sales of traditional, large cars are the most likely consequence of falling petroleum prices.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Since the majority of conventional, large cars employ combustion engines, these engines need petroleum fuel to operate.

As a result, <em>Choice C—more sales of conventional, large cars</em>—is one of the effects of dropping oil prices that is most likely to occur.

A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker to a turnaround marker at 10 m/s. She then rides back along the same route from the
andrew11 [14]

Given :

A bicycle racer rides from a starting marker to a turnaround marker at 10 m/s.

She then rides back along the same route from the turnaround marker to the starting marker at 25 m/s.

To Find :

Her average speed for the whole race.

Solution :

We know, average velocity is given by :

Average \ Velocity = \dfrac{v_1 + v_2}{2}\\\\Average\ Velocity = \dfrac{10 + 25}{2}\\\\Average \ Velocity = \dfrac{35}{2}\\\\Average \ Velocity = 17.5 \ m/s

Therefore, average speed for the whole race is given by 17.5 m/s.
