Answer:

t = 2.01 s

Vf = 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

It's know through the International System that the earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s², then we have;

Data:

  • Height (h) = 20 m
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = ?
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?

==================================================================

Time

Use formula:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*h}{g}}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

Everything inside the root is solved first. So, we solve the multiplication of the numerator:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{40m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{4.08s}}

The square root is performed:

  • \boxed{t=2.01s}

==================================================================

Final Velocity

use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 2.01 s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 19.7 m/s

==================================================================

A cylinder of mass 250 kg and radius 2.60 m is rotating at 4.00 rad/s on a frictionless.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The angular momentum of a cylinder, when it is rotating with constant angular velocity is Lini =Iωi

. When two cylinders are added to the rotating cylinder, which are identical in their dimensions, the moment of inertia of the entire system increases (since mass increases). The final moment of inertia will be 3I

Since friction exist, all the cylinders start rotating with same angular velocity, the new angular velocity can be calculated using conservation of angular momentum

Thus, Iωi =3Iωf ⟹ωf =ωi/3 = 0.33ωi

Ice melting is not a chemical change because​
prohojiy [21]

Melting ice is not a chemical reaction, but is a physical change. There is no chemical reaction involved during the melting process, and it is still the same molecular substance.
