To measure the height of a building without a ruler or tape measure, an engineer drops a rock off the top of the building and fi

serg [7]

The relevant equation we can use in this problem is:

h = v0 t + 0.5 g t^2

where h is height, v0 is initial velocity, t is time, g is gravity

Since it was stated that the rock was drop, so it was free fall and v0 = 0, therefore:

h = 0 + 0.5 * 9.81 m/s^2 * (4.9 s)^2

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When car

Inessa [10]

Answer:

$W=2219pounds$

Explanation:

If the weight is a linear function of the amount of fuel, the following correlation is fulfilled :

$\frac{2153pounds-1999pounds}{46gallons-18gallons} = \frac{W-1999pounds}{58gallons-18galons}$

we solve the equation:

$W=2219pounds$

A pogo stick has a spring with a force constant of 2.50 × 104 N/m , which can be compressed 11.2 cm. what maximum height, in met

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

h = 36.4 cm

Explanation:

given,

spring constant = 2.5 x 10⁴ N/m

compressed distance = 11.2 cm = 0.112 m

mass of the child = 44 kg

maximum height = ?

by energy of conservation

$K.E_i +P.E_i= K.E_f + P.E_f$

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5 \times 10^4 \times 0.112^2 = 44\times 9.8 \times h$

$156.8 = 44 \times 9.8 \times h$

$h = \dfrac{156.8}{44 \times 9.8}$

h = 0.364 m

h = 36.4 cm

If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?

Damm [24]

You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps
