Answer:

the inner regions of antarctica gets only about 2 inches of precipitation per year. the winds here blow up snow from the land and put it into the atmosphere, which is part of the water cycle. and the sun helps out, too, causing sublimation to occur, which causes snow to evaporate directly into water vapor gas.

The following situation will be used for the next three problems: A rock is projected upward from the surface of the moon, at ti

chubhunter [2.5K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the rock, u = 30 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon is 1.62 m/s².

We need to find the time when the rock is ascending at a height of 180 m.

The rock is projected from the surface of the moon. The equation of motion in this case is given by :

$h=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\180=30t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.62t^2$

It is a quadratic equation, after solving whose solution is given by:

t = 7.53 s

t = 8 seconds

(e)If it is decending, v = -20 m/s

Now t' is the time of descending. So,

$v=-u+gt\\\\t=\dfrac{v+u}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{20+30}{1.62}\\\\t=30.86\ s$

Let h' is the height of the rock at this time. So,

$h'=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h'=30\times 30.86-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.62\times 30.86^2\\\\h'=154.40\ m$

h' = 155 m

A marble, rolling with speed of 20m/sec rolls off the edge of the table that is 180m high (g=10m/sec2), find time taken to drop

Answer:

<em>Choice: c. 6sec</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed (v) from a height (h), it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it finally hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration exists in that direction, thus:

$v_x=v$

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

$v_y=g.t$

Where $g=10 m/s^2$

To calculate the time the object takes to hit the ground, we use the same formula as for free-fall, since the time does not depend on the initial speed:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$
