Answer:

9654.34 m

Explanation:

from conservation of momentum

$$\begin{aligned}30 \times 250 &=-10 \times 120+20 \times V \\20 V &=30 \times 250+10 * 120 \\V &=\frac{30 \times 250+10 \times 120}{20}=435 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}$$

And from Conservation of Energy

\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=m g h\\h=\frac{v^{2}}{2 g}\\h=\frac{(435(m/s))^{2}}{2 \times 9.8(m/s^{2} )}\\h=9654.34 (m)

An airplane has a starting velocity of 300m/s. It then accelerates at a rate of 45m/s2 for a time of 10s. What is it's final vel
Olenka [21]
A = (v - u) / t

a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time

45 = (v - 300) / 10

45 × 10 = v - 300

450 + 300 = v

v = 750 m/s

Hope this helps!

Astar is 10 light years away from the earth. Suppose it brightens up suddenly today, after how long can we see this change?
Blababa [14]

The phrase "light year" is a <u><em>distance</em></u> ... it's the distance that light travels through vacuum in one year.

When you look at an object located 1 light year away from you, you see it as it was 1 year ago.

If a star located 10 light years away from us suddenly brightens, or dims, or explodes, we see the event <em>10 years later.</em>
