Answer:

hellooooo :) ur ans is 33.5 m/s

At time t, the displacement is h/2:

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h/2 = 0 + ½ gt²

h = gt²

At time t+1, the displacement is h.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h = 0 + ½ g (t + 1)²

h = ½ g (t + 1)²

Set equal and solve for t:

gt² = ½ g (t + 1)²

2t² = (t + 1)²

2t² = t² + 2t + 1

t² − 2t = 1

t² − 2t + 1 = 2

(t − 1)² = 2

t − 1 = ±√2

t = 1 ± √2

Since t > 0, t = 1 + √2.  So t+1 = 2 + √2.

At that time, the speed is:

v = at + v₀

v = g (2 + √2) + 0

v = g (2 + √2)

If g = 9.8 m/s², v = 33.5 m/s.

A car is traveling south is 200 kilometers from it’s starting point after 2 hours. What is the average velocity of the car
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

100

Explanation:

take note that v=d/t (velocity is distance over(divided by) time, so in this case it would be 200 (distance) divided by 2 (time) = 100

A 320 g rubber ball is dropped from 2.0 m above the ground, bounces, and returns to a maximum height 1.2 m above the ground. If
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

0.71 J

Explanation:

320 g = 0.32 kg

According to law of energy conservation, the energy loss to external environment (air, ground) can be credited to the change in mechanical energy of the ball.

As the ball was dropped at H = 2 m above the ground then later reaches its maximum height at h = 1.2m, tts instant speed at those 2 points must be 0. So the kinetic energy at those points are 0 as well. The change in mechanical energy is the change in potential energy.

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

\Delta E_p = mgH - mgh = mg(H - h) = 0.32*9.81*(2 - 1.2) = 2.51 J

Since 1.8J of 2.51 J is due to work by air resistance, the rest of the energy (2.51 - 1.8 = 0.71 J) is would go to heating in the ground and ball when it bounces.
