Answer:

Time = t = 6.62 s

Explanation:

Given data:

Height = h = 215 m

Initial velocity = v_{i} = 0 m/s

gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Time = t = ?

According to second equation of motion

                            h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

As initial velocity is zero, So the first term of right hand side of above equation equal to zero.

                                 h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

                                        t² = \frac{2h}{g}

                                         t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

                                         t = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(215) }{9.8} }

                                         t = 6.62 s

prohojiy [21]
<span>Since forces are vector quantities, we must indicate direction using positive and negative values. East will be assigned positive and west will be negative. Friction will act as a negative force since it impedes action. To calculate the net force we sum the vector quantities, as follows. Net force equals 50n which is derived by the following calculation: 300n-220n-30n.</span>

The African and South American continents are separating at a rate of about 3 cm per year, according to the ideas of plate tecto
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

166 666 666.7 years

Explanation:

We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.

We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart

So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart

t = distance/speed

t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years
