Answer:

The ball fell 275.625 meters after 7.5 seconds

Explanation:

If an object is left on free air (no friction), it describes an accelerated motion in the vertical direction, powered exclusively by the acceleration of gravity. The formulas needed to compute the different magnitudes involved are

$V_f=gt$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where $V_f$ is the final speed of the object in free fall, assumed positive downwards, t is the time elapsed since the release and y is the vertical distance traveled by the object

The ball was dropped from a cliff. We need to calculate the vertical distance the ball went down in t=7.5 seconds. We'll use the formula

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(7.5)^2}{2}$

$Y=275.625\ m$

Two neutral metal spheres on wood stands are touching. A negatively charged rod is held directly above the top of the left spher

FrozenT [24]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we know that metals are able to conduct electricity so, when a negatively charges rod is kept closer to the left sphere then electrons will enter the sphere.

Since, like charges repel each other. Hence, some of the negative changes from the rod will repel the negative charges of left sphere.

As both left and right spheres are touching each other so, the electrons will move towards the right sphere. As a result, there will be too many electrons (negative charge) present on the right sphere and very less electrons present in the left sphere.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement right sphere is negatively charged, another is charged positively, is true.

To meet a U.S. Postal Service requirement, employees' footwear must have a coefficient of static friction of 0.5 or more on a sp

motikmotik

Answer:

0.79 s

Explanation:

We have to calculate the employee acceleration, in order to know the minimum time. According to Newton's second law:

$\sum F_x:f_{max}=ma_x\\\sum F_y:N-mg=0$

The frictional force is maximum since the employee has to apply a maximum force to spend the minimum time. In y axis the employee's acceleration is zero, so the net force is zero. Recall that $f_{max}=\mu N$

Now, we find the acceleration:

$\mu N=ma_x\\\mu mg=ma_x\\a_x=\mu g\\a_x=0.83(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})\\a_x=8.134\frac{m}{s^2}$

Finally, using an uniformly accelerated motion formula, we can calculate the minimum time. The employee starts at rest, thus his initial speed is zero:

$x=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\2x=a_xt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a}}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2(3.2m)}{8.134\frac{m}{s^2}}}\\t=0.79 s$

What forces control the strength of the tides

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Gravity is one major force that creates tides. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton explained that ocean tides result from the gravitational attraction of the sun and moon on the oceans of the earth (Sumich, J.L., 1996).
