Answer: There is an unsolved mystery surrounding Titan's atmosphere: Because methane is broken down by sunlight, scientists believe there is another source that replenishes what is lost. One potential source of methane is volcanic activity, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Explanation:
Answer:
1.59 seconds
12.3 meters
but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.
Explanation:
This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.
Time
<u>Given</u>
a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.
d = 20 m
v = 12.6 m/s
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi * t + 1/2at^2
<u>Solution</u>
Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to
d = vi * t
20 = 12.6 * t
t = 20 / 12.6
t = 1.59 seconds.
It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground
Height of the building
<u>Givens</u>
t = 1.59 sec
vi = 0 Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0
a = 9.8 m/s^2 The acceleration is vertical.
<u>Formula</u>
d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2
<u>Solution</u>
d = 1/2 a*t^2
d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2
d = 12.3 meters.
The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)
The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.
