What is the speed acquired by a freely falling object 4 seconds after being dropped from a rest position? Use units of meter per

second (m/s) and assume acceleration from gravity is 10 m/s2.

speed = 40 m/s

Explanation:

Since the object is dropped, V0y = 0.

Vy = V0y - gt

= -(10 m/s^2)(4 s)

= -40 m/s

This means that its velocity is 40 m/s downwards. Its speed is simply 40 m/s.

For a snowboard jumper in the air, what force or forces will be most important for modeling the motion?
Reptile [31]

Answer: Gravitational force and drag force

Explanation:

For a snowboard jumper in the air, two forces would be acting. One in the downward direction- the gravitational pull and second in the opposite direction to the motion, the drag force due to air. If the snowboard jumper jumps in the air at a certain angle with the horizontal. The forces are written as the sum of vertical and horizontal components. Hence, for the modeling the motion, gravitational force and drag force are important,

Objects are lighter on the moon than they are on earth. if an object A weighs 25lbs on the Moon and another object B weighs 25 N
solong [7]

Answer:

a. Object A

Explanation:

The mass of an object implies the quantity of matter in it, while the weight is the amount of gravitational force applied on an object.

The object A has a mass of 25 lbs, but object B on the earth has a weight, W, of 25 N.

So that,

For object A on the moon, mass = 25 lbs

For object B on the earth, W = 25 N,

W = m x g

25 = m x 10                (g = 10 m/s^{2})

m = \frac{25}{10}

   = 2.5 lbs

Mass of object B is 2.5 lbs.

Therefore, the mass of the object A is more than that of B.

A certain runner averages 4.1 m/s over a 10
Ghella [55]

Answer: 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.

Explanation:

1 k = 1000m

race = 10000m

runner time = 10000 / 4.1

runner time = 2439.0243902439024 seconds

runner time = 2439.0243902439024/60 = 40.650406504065 or 40 minutes and 39 seconds.

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (3\cdot 10^{11} Hz) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.

How much energy will a stock tank heater rated at 1790 Watts use in a 24 hour period? 1. 1790 × 24 × 3600 Joules 2. 1790 × 24 ×
Rashid [163]
<h2>Option 1 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Power of heater, P = 1790 W

Time used, t = 24 hours = 24 x 60 x 60 = 24 x 3600 s

We have the equation

               \texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}

We need to find energy,

Substituting

                 \texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\1790=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{24\times 3600}

                  Energy = 1790 x 24 x 3600 J

Option 1 is the correct answer.
