Hi there!

We can use the kinematic equation:

$d = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

d = displacement (20 m)

v0 = initial velocity (dropped from rest, so 0 m/s)

t = time (s)

a = acceleration due to gravity (10 m/s²)

Rearrange the equation to solve for time:

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\2d = at^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{2d}{a}\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$

Solve using the given values:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2(20)}{10}} = \sqrt{4} = \boxed{2 sec}$

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2 \ seconds}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the time it takes for a mango to fall 20 meters.

We know the distance, acceleration, and initial velocity, so we will use the following kinematic equation:

$d= v_i t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

The mango is dropped from rest, so the initial velocity is 0 meters per second. It falls a distance of 20 meters. The acceleration due to gravity is 10 meters per second squared.

$v_i$ = 0 m/s
d= 20 m
a= 10 m/s²

Substitute the values into the equation.

$20 \ m = (0 \ m/s)(t) + \frac{1}{2} (10 \ m/s^2)(t^2)$

$20 \ m = \frac{1}{2} (10 \ m/s^2)(t^2)$

$20 \ m = (5 \ m/s^2)(t^2)$

We are solving for time, so we must isolate the variable t. It is being multiplied by 5 meters per second squared. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by 5 m/s².

$\frac {20 \ m}{5 \ m/s^2}= \frac{(5 \ m/s^2)(t^2)}{5 \ m/s^2}$

$\frac {20 \ m}{5 \ m/s^2}=t^2$

$4 \ s^2=t^2$

The variable t is being squared. Take the square root of both sides.

$\sqrt { 4 \ s^2 }= \sqrt{t^2}$

$2 \ s=t$

It takes 2 seconds for a mango to fall 20 meters.

For trapezoid JKLM, A and B are midpoints of the legs. Find AB.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

AB = 29

Explanation:

For a better understanding, we must work this problem in a graphic way. In the attached image we can see the solution.

First, we draw a vertical dotted lines from the point J & K to the line ML, then we can see two new portions with the same length. Then with this simple analysis:

2x = 39 - 19

x = 10

Then we know that x = 10, another important data to find the answer is that the AB line is located in the midpoints of the legs. We also can see the right triangle MJ and the dotted line.

Now for every single right triangle, no matter its size and relationship between the vertical and the horizontal lengths, if some point is located in the hypotenuse (leg) at the middle of its length. This will be proportional to the vertical and the horizontal cathetus, therefore we will have the middle point on those two lines.

So, the AB line will be the sum of JK plus two times 5

AB = 19 + 5 + 5 = 29

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then

kari74 [83]

The density of an object is the mass of the object divided by its volume.

Remember that mass of an object is the amount of matter that the object contains. The unit for mas in the standard international unit system is the kilogram (kg), which is 1000 grams; the unit of mass in the US is the pound (lb), which is 453.592 grams.

The volume of an object is the amount of space that the object occupies. The unit for volume in the standard international unit system are the cubic meter ( $m^3$ ) and the liter (L); 1 cubic meter equals 1000 liters.

The density of an object is the quantity of mass of the object per unit of its volume. The unit for mas in the standard international unit system is the kilogram per cubic meter ( $\frac{kg}{m^3}$ ).

Now, lets create our hypothesis:

If the mass and the volume of and object are known, then its density can be calculated dividing the object's mass by its volume.

We can conclude that the density of an object can be obtained by dividing its mass by its volume.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

$v = 20\pi sec^2\theta$

Explanation:

As we know that the angle made with the vertical is given so we have

$tan\theta = \frac{x}{10}$

so we have

$x = 10 tan\theta$

now differentiate both sides with time

$v = \frac{dx}{dt} = 10 sec^2\theta \frac{d\theta}{dt}$

$v = 10 \omega sec^2\theta$

now we know that

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi (\frac{60}{60})$

$\omega = 2\pi$

now we have

$v = 10(2\pi) sec^2\theta$

$v = 20\pi sec^2\theta$

The block in the diagram below is AT REST. However, the tension in the cable is not the only thing holding the block back. Stati

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The tension in the rope is 229.37 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=33.2\ kg$

Coefficient of static friction is, $\mu = 0.214$

Angle of inclination is, $\theta = 31.5$ °

Draw a free body diagram of the block.

From the free body diagram, consider the forces in the vertical direction perpendicular to inclined plane.

Forces acting are $mg\cos \theta$ and normal $N$ . Now, there is no motion in the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane. So,

$N=mg\cos \theta\\N=(33.2)(9.8)\cos (31.5)\\N=277.415\ N$

Consider the direction along the inclined plane.

The forces acting along the plane are $mg\sin \theta$ and frictional force, $f$ , down the plane and tension, $T$ , up the plane.

Now, as the block is at rest, so net force along the plane is also zero.

$T=mg\sin \theta+f\\T=mg\sin \theta +\mu N\\T= (33.2)(9.8)(\sin (31.5)+(0.214\times 277.415)\\T= 170+59.37\\T=229.37\ N$

Therefore, the tension in the rope is 229.37 N.

Earth's _____ cycle moves water from one reservoir to another. This cycling of materials is one of Earth's dynamic processes.

Colt1911 [192]

The answer that is most suitable is earth's hydrologic cycle.

Water does not remain locked up in the oceans, icecaps, groundwater systems , or the atmosphere. Instead water is continually moving from one reservoir to another. This movement of water is called the hydrologic cycle.

Although water in the hydrologic cycle is constantly in motion, it never leaves the earth. The earth is nearly a "closed system" like a terrarium. This means the earth neither gains nor loses much matter, including water.
