What is the distance covered by a Freely falling object 5 seconds after being dropped ? After 6 seconds?
mario62 [17]

This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:

D = 1/2 A T²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often.  You really should memorize it.  And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)

The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth.  Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .

In 5 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)

D = 122.5 meters


In 6 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)

D = 176 meters

An ion in a mass spectrometer follows a semicircular path of radius 14.8. What is the distance it travels?
aleksklad [387]

The circumference of a circle is (2π · the circle's radius).

The length of a semi-circle is  (1π · the circle's radius) =

                                                 (π · 14.8) = 46.5 (rounded)

(The unit is the same as whatever the unit of the  14.8  is.)

Which of the following statements are true? Select all correct responses. Choose all that apply. Choose all that apply. The tota
Ne4ueva [31]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

-The total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

-The total momentum of any number of particles is equal to the vector sum of the momenta of the individual particles.

-The vector sum of forces acting on a particle equals the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Momentum is a vector quantity, and therefore we need to use vector addition when summing together the momenta of the multiple bodies which make up a system.
  • The vector sum of forces acting on a particle is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum of the particle with respect to time. This is according to the Newton's second Law of motion. In mathematical terms, ֿF = d ֿp/dt, that is F= ma.
  • According to the Law of conservation of Momentum, or a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

Xavier is administering medication to his patient. He administers four cups 4 points
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

11 ounces

Explanation:

The patient gets 11 ounces of liquid.

From the description of this problem:

        Xavier administers  four cups of liquid each containing two ounces

The number of ounces in the four cups = 2 x 4  = 8ounces

Also,

   One cup of the liquid contains 3 ounces.

Total number of ounces administered  = 8 + 3  = 11 ounces.
