Answer:

<em>The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

It occurs when an object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon solely by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not face air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is $g = 9.8 m/s^2$ .

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The cantaloupe has been dropped from rest. We are required to find the speed after t=12 seconds.

Calculate the final speed:

vf=9.8 * 12 = 117.6 m/s

The cantaloupe has a speed of 117.6 m/s

Answer:

gamma rays < X-ray < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared < radio wave

Explanation:

given light form,

A) radio waves,B) infrared,C) visible light,D) ultraviolet,E) X-rays,F) gamma rays

we know,

wavelength of radio wave = 10000 Km

wavelength of infrared = 700 nanometers (nm) to 1 millimeter (mm)

wavelength of visible light = 380 to 740 nm

wavelength of ultraviolet ray = 10 nm to 400 nm

wavelength of X-ray = 0.01 to 10 nm

wavelength of gamma rays = 100 picometer

so, the order of rays.

gamma rays < X-ray < ultraviolet ray < visible light < infrared < radio wave

A grindstone of mass 12 kg and radius 0.3 m is initially rotating freely at 48 rad/sec. An axe is brought into contact with the

lesya [120]

Answer:

$I = 0.54\,kg\cdot m^{2}$

Explanation:

1) The moment of inertia of the grindstone is:

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot r^{2}$

$I = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (12\,kg)\cdot (0.3\,m)^{2}$

$I = 0.54\,kg\cdot m^{2}$

Lynna [10]

Hi! The answer is C

As west is defined as negative, the trucks velocity is positive, since its travelling east. But its speed (absolute value of velocity) is decreasing, that means that the acceleration is negative.
