velocity of object just before hitting the ground = 10 m/s

10 m/sExplanation:

here's the solution : -

=》mechanical energy is always constant, when the object is at the top of the building , the object has potential energy but no kinetic energy,

so, at the top of the building the mechanical energy = potential energy = 100 J

but at when it is dropped from the building, the whole potential energy get converted into kinetic energy, just before reaching the bottom .

so, mechanical energy in the object just before hitting the ground = kinetic energy

( potential energy = 0 )

So, kinetic energy = 100 J

now, we know

kinetic \: energy =  \frac{1}{2}  \times m {v}^{2}

=》

100 =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 2 \times  {v}^{2}

( since, mass = 2 kg )

=》

100 =  {v}^{2}

=》

v =  \sqrt{100}

=》

v = 10

so, velocity of object just before hitting the ground = 10 m/s

Tudy the images about geologic time.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era

Explanation:

The Mesozoic era is well known and most famous because of the rule of the dinosaurs which were the dominant animals for most of this are. Also, it is the era in which the mammals appeared, though they lived in the shadows of the dinosaurs and only became dominant after their extinction. Another important evolution that took place and is not mentioned very often is the appearance of the first flowering plants. This was a revolutionary trait for the plants, and it helped them to survive in the changing climate on Earth. Soon this trait enabled this type of plants to spread out significantly and to become one of the most dominant organisms on the planet in the following era.

Describe a sea-level transgression
Eduardwww [97]
<span>Some geographic areas endure cycles between these two processes called transgressive-regressive sequences. The rocks of western Pennsylvania are one example. Sandy beaches often leave observable records of transgression by covering marsh sediments that were once behind it as it moves inland. The original sediments are then covered by even deeper water sediments, which geologists can trace and record. It is generally believed that transgression will increase in accordance with rising sea levels worldwide</span>

Can anyone help me to explain theory of relativity??? ​
OLga [1]

Answer:

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to other forces of nature.It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves
