A water bottle is dropped from a plane and accelerates because of gravity. What distance did it fall during 3 seconds?

1 answer:

4 0

It’d fall 29.4m or 96.46ft

Explanation:
Uhh since gravity is 9.8m/s then in three seconds it’d drop 29.4m or 96.46ft
That is assuming there isn’t a lot of wind resistance, but if you take that into account, then it’d probably be somewhere around 25m since the water bottle is going to be heavier than the wind resistance, and since we don’t know the weight of the water bottle it can’t really be calculated.

Hope this helps!

A small object of mass 3.82 g and charge -16.5 µC is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric f

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2271.16N/C upward

Explanation:

The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.

First we determine the downward weight using

$W=mg\\g=9.81m/s^{2}$

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be

$W=0.00382kg*9.81m/s^{2}$

$W=0.0375N$

To calculate the electric field,

$E=f/q\\E=0.0375/16.5*10^{-6} \\E=2271.16N/C$

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.

Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward

A person driving her car at 48 km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

She must stop the car before interception, distance traveled 12.66 m

Explanation:

We will take all units to the SI system

Vo = 48Km / h (1000m / 1Km) (1h / 3600s) = 13.33 m / s

V2 = 70 Km / h = 19.44 m / s

We calculate the distance traveled before stopping

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

Time is what it takes traffic light to turn red is t = 2.0 s

X = 13.33 2 + 1.2 (-7) 2²

X = 12.66 m

It stops car before reaching the traffic light turning to red

Let's analyze what happens if you accelerate, let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle

V2 = Vo + a t2

a = (V2-Vo) / t2

a = (19.44-13.33) /6.6

a = 0.926 m / s2

This is the acceleration to try to pass the interception, now let's calculate the distance it travels in the time the traffic light changes from yellow to red (t = 2.0 s)

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

X = 13.33 2 + ½ 0.926 2²

X = 28.58 m

Since the vehicle was 30 m away, the interception does not happen

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes the egg 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion </u>

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

We know the egg takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. The height it was launched from is

$\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(3.474)^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=68.54\ m$

The closest correct option is

B. 68.6m
