The distance from the base of the building the rock will land is 26.4 m

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Distance (s) =?
<h3>Determination of the time to reach the ground </h3>
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

8.5 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

8.5 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 8.5 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(8.5 / 4.9)

t = 1.32 s

<h3>How to determine the distance </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Time (t) = 1.32 s
  • Distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 20 × 1.32

s = 26.4 m

Which describes how the same force affects a small mass and a large mass
goldenfox [79]
You shall use the equation for force given by the second Law of Newton, this is F = m*a, where F is the net force that acts over the object, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration that the object will acquire. From that equation you can find a = F/m, which means that a is direct proportional to F and invsersely related to m. So, small masses accelerate faster than large masses, and <span>the answer is the option B. the small mass accelerates faster.</span>

When the temperature of ice-cold water is increased slightly, does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?
miss Akunina [59]

From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS.  That is, it becomes MORE dense.  I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase.  That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean.  And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible !  Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.
