Hi there!

Recall that:

GPE = mgh

KE = 1/2mv²

At the TOP of an object's trajectory, the GPE is at a maximum. There is NO kinetic energy at this moment.

At the bottom of the fall, the KINETIC energy is at a maximum while the GPE is a minimum (assuming the ground to be the zero-line.)

We can write this out:

GPE = KE

mgh = 1/2mv²

A.

There is an 'm' on both sides, so you can divide both sides by 'm':

(mgh)/m = 1/2mv²/m

<u>gh = 1/2v²</u>

B.

Solve for v.

gh = 1/2v²

Multiply both sides by 2:

2gh = v²

Take the square root:

<u>v = √2gh </u>

C.

We can use the equation:

v = √2gh

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h = length of fall (3.67 m)

v = velocity (m/s)

Plug in the knowns:

v = √2(9.8)(3.67) = <u>8.48 m/s</u>

If an object falls for 4 seconds, how fast is it going when it hits the ground?
MArishka [77]

Acceleration due to gravity is about 9.8 m/s²

So after every second, the speed increase by 9.8 m/s

After 1 second, the object would fall at a speed of 9.8 m/s

After 2 seconds the object would fall at a speed of 19.6 m/s

So after 4 seconds, the object is going to be at a speed of:

9.8 x 4 = 39.2 m/s

-------------------------------------------------

<u>Answer</u>

39.2 m/s

The highest amount a landlord can charge for rent is an example of
NeTakaya
The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be RENT CONTROL. The rent control is the highest amount that a landlord or a property owner can charge for a rent. Rent control is established by the government that gives the maximum amount as to how much a landlord can charge the tenant. Hope this answer helps.
