During a test, a solution placed on a sheet

A ball is dropped from an aircraft flying at an altitude of 8,848 meters assuming gravity is 9.8m/s what is the total amount of

Dafna11 [192]

In this question, you're determining the time (t) taken for an object to fall from a distance (d).

The equation to represent this is:
Time equals the square root of 2 times the distance divided by the gravitational force of earth.
In equation from it looks like this (there isn't an icon to represent square root so just pretend like there's a square root there):
t = 2d/g (square-rooted)

d = 8,848m and g = 9.8m/s

Now plug in the information we have:
t = 2 x 8,848m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

The first step is to multiply 2 times 8,848m:
t = 17,696m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

Now divide 9.8m/s by 17,696m (note that the two m's (meters) cancels out leaving you with only s (seconds):
t = 1805.72s (square-rooted)

Now for the last step, find the square root of the remaining number:
t = 42.5s

So the time it takes the ball to drop from the height (distance) of 8,848 meters, and falling with the gravitational pull of 9.8 meters per second is 42.5 seconds.

I hope this helps :)

A 2.35-kg rock is released from rest at a height of 21.4 m. Ignore air resistance and determine (a) the kinetic energy at 21.4 m

kvasek [131]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of rock, m = 2.35-kg

It was released from rest at a height of 21.4 m.

(a) The kinetic energy is given by : $E_k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

As the rock was at rest initially, it means, its kinetic energy is equal to 0.

(b) The gravitational potential energy is given by : $E_p=mgh$

It can be calculated as :

$E_p=2.35\times 9.8\times 21.4\\\\E_p=492.84\ J$

(c) The mechanical energy is equal to the sum of kinetic and potential energy such that,

M = 0 J + 492.84 J

M = 492.84 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why does the moon exert a greater tidal influence than the sun?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Well, I'm not sure right now that it actually does.

But if it does, that's because the sun is about 400 times
FARTHER from the Earth than the moon is.
