Answer:

1.08 s

Explanation:

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

Height (h) reached = 1.45 m

Time of flight (T) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the kangaroo to return from the height of 1.45 m. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 1.45 m

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

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

1.45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

1.45 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 1.45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(1.45/4.9)

t = 0.54 s

Note: the time taken to fall from the height(1.45m) is the same as the time taken for the kangaroo to get to the height(1.45 m).

Finally, we shall determine the total time spent by the kangaroo before returning to the earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the height = 0.54 s

Time of flight (T) =?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 0.54

T = 1.08 s

Therefore, it will take the kangaroo 1.08 s to return to the earth.

In classical physics, consider a 2 kg block hanging on a spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m. Ignore air resistance. The blo

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

v = 0

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by taking into account:

- The equation for the calculation of the period in a spring-masss system

$T = \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$ ( 1 )

- The equation for the velocity of a simple harmonic motion

$x = \frac{2\pi }{T}Asin(\frac{2\pi }{T}t)$ ( 2 )

where m is the mass of the block, k is the spring constant, A is the amplitude (in this case A = 14 cm) and v is the velocity of the block

Hence

$T = \sqrt{\frac{2 kg}{50 N/m}} = 0.2 s$

and by reeplacing it in ( 2 ):

$v = \frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(14cm)sin(\frac{2\pi }{0.2s}(0.9s)) = 140\pi sin(9\pi ) = 0$

In this case for 0.9 s the velocity is zero, that is, the block is in a position with the max displacement from the equilibrium.

You drop a rock down a well that is 5.4 m deep. How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well?

Natali5045456 [20]

Equation of motion:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Since initial velocity is zero, the second term goes away:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+0+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}=y_{o}+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}=5.4m$

$5.4m= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{a} = t^{2}$

$a = g = 9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2}}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2} } } = t^{2}$

$1.1 s^{2} = t^{2}$ $\sqrt{1.1 s^{2}} = \sqrt{t^{2}}$

 $t = 1.05s$

How does your Liver work with your Bladder in your body?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The liver filters the blood of toxins before it continues through the body. It also removes excess sugar from the arteries. Your kidney then further filters the blood for water-soluble waste and toxins to be excreted and finally, your bladder gets read of that water-soluble waste.
