Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity is 0. In the equation v = v0+at where v0 is the initial velocity of 0, we only have to fill in -9.8 for a and 2 for t to get the velocity after 2 seconds -19.6 m/s; after 5 seconds, when it hits the ground, a = -9.8 and t = 5 to give a velocity of -49 m/s. Gravity pulls down everything at the same rate, it doesn't matter whether we drop a feather or an elephant from the window!

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The weight of the landing craft in the vicinity of Callisto's surface is 3480 N.

Explanation:

The engine of the craft provides an upward thrust of 3480 N so that the space craft descends at a constant speed.

This implies that the net force on the space craft is zero.

The upward thrust will be equal to the downward gravitational pull by Callisto.

So the weight of the craft near the vicinity will be 3480 N.

For a body falling freely from rest​ (disregarding air​ resistance), the distance the body falls varies directly as the square o
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The object would fall 57.625 m in the first 5 seconds

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that

the height of fall = 490 ft = ‪149.352‬ m

Time to touch the ground = 7 seconds

We are required to find out how far the object falls in the first 5 seconds

We apply the relation

S = u·t + 0.5×g·t ² = We then have

‪149.352‬ = U×7+0.5*9.81*49 From where u = -13 m/s

Therefore to find how far it falls in the first 5 seconds, we have

-13*5 + 0.5*9.81*25 = 57.625 m

A stone is dropped from rest from the top of a cliff into a pond below. If its initial height is 10 m, what is its speed when it
Brut [27]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the stone is a free fall motion, so an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. So, we can use the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 -u^2 = 2gh

where

v is the final speed of the stone as it reaches the water

u = 0 is the initial speed

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

h = 10 m is the distance covered by the stone

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{u^2+2gh}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8 m/s^2)(10 m)}=14 m/s

tatuchka [14]

Answer:We are usually not aware of the electric force acting between two everyday objects because most everyday objects have as many plus charges as minus charges. Option A

Explanation:An electric force is exerted between any two charged objects( either positive or negative). Objects with the same charge will repel each other, and objects with opposite charge will attract each other. The strength of the electric force between any two charged objects depends on the amount of charge that each object contains and on the distance between the two charges. Electric charges are generated all around us due to different surfaces bearing different types of charges. We are usually not aware of it because the quantity of positive charges equals the number of negative charges.
