Glass and water are thicker and heavier than air. They are said to be 'denser' than air. What happens is that light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the denser glass or water. This slowing down of the ray of light also causes the ray of light to change direction.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

0.43 s

Explanation:

We have the following parameters:

Initial velocity, u = 7.4 m/s

Acceleration of gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Distance, s = 43 in + 10 ft = 1.092 m + 3.048 m = 4.14 m

Time, t = ?

Using the equation of motion s=ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2, we have

4.14 = 7.4t + 0.5\times9.8t^2

4.9t^2 + 7.4t - 4.14 =0

Using the quadratic formula \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} where a = 4.9, b = 7.4 and c = - 4.14, and solving for the positive value of t only, we have

t = 0.43 s

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

              y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e)    y = 0 + ½ g t²

     t = √ (2y / g)

     t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

     t = 5.05 s

If "0.3 minute" is correct, then it's 9,543,272 Joules.

If it's supposed to say "0.3 SECOND", then the KE is 2,651 Joules.
