Answer: discplacement/change in time = average velocity.

Explanation:

There is a formula for velocity which is given above

a ball rolls off the edge of a 2m high shelf at a speed of 5 m/s and hits the ground the taken to hit the ground is
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 where delta x is the displacement of the object, v0 is the velocity of the object, a is the pull of gravity, and t is the time in seconds. That's our unknown.

Δx = -2 (negative because where it ends up is lower than the point at which it started),

v_0=5, and

a = -9.8

Filling in:

-2=5t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8) t^2 and simplified a bit:

-2=5t-4.9 t^2

this should look hauntingly familiar (a quadratic, which is parabolic motion...very important in physics!!). We begin by getting everything on one side of the equals sign and solving for t by factoring:

-4.9 t^2+5t+2=0 (the 0 is also indicative of the object landing on the ground! Isn't this a beautiful thing, how it all just works so perfectly together?)

When you factor this however your math/physics teacher has you factoring you will get that

t = 1.3 sec and t = -.31 sec

Since we all know that time can NEVER be negative, it takes the ball 1.3 sec to hit the ground from a height of 2 m if it is rolling off the shelf at 5 m/s.

Explain why greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause an increase in temperature?
harkovskaia [24]
Any gas in the atmosphere that absorbs and emits thermal infrared radiation is referred to as a greenhouse gas (GHG). These are the primary causes of the greenhouse effect, which causes the Earth's temperature to rise. Earth is warmer because less heat radiates into space.

Imagine how mercury might be different if it had the same mass as earth. Explain.
maxonik [38]
I believe if it were heavier with more mass, then the sun would pull it in and there would be no mercury. It might also be hotter.

You drop a ball from a height of 2.0 m, and it bounces back to a height of 1.5 m. a) What fraction of its initial energy is lost
tangare [24]
The fraction of energy that is lost is 25%, it depends how fast the ball was going until it lost 25% of its energy, the gravitational energy was transferred into the kinetic energy that helped the ball bounce back
