This is a free fall and in free fall we use this formula:

d = (1 ÷ 2) × g × t², where d is the distance, g is the gravitational acceleration and t is the time.

In our case,

We are already given the moon's gravitational acceleration and we are going to substitute it with g. Let's leave the unknown alone, which is t.

t = √(2d ÷ g)

If we perform the formula, t is found to be √(2d ÷ g) = √(2 × 1.2 ÷ 1.62) ≅ 1.217 s

I am sorry for my bad English and if there is anything that you do not understand please let me know.

Two objects interact with each other and with no other objects. Initially object A has a speed of 5 m/s and object B has a speed
Radda [10]

Answer:

We can conclude that there is a decrease in kinetic energy of the particles due to their elastic collision, since kinetic energy is directly proportional to squared velocity of the particles.

Explanation:

Given:

initial velocity of particle A, Ua = 5m/s

initial velocity of particle B, Ub = 10 m/s

final velocity of particle A, Va = 4m/s

final velocity of particle B, Vb = 7m/s

For particle A:

The final velocity is 1 less than the initial velocity.

For particle B:

The final velocity is 3 less than the initial velocity.

We can conclude that there is a loss in kinetic energy due to elastic collision of the two particles, since kinetic energy is directly proportional to squared velocity of the particles. A decrease in velocity means decrease in kinetic energy.

A snowboarder travels 150 m down a mountain slope that is 65 degrees above horizontal. What is his vertical displacement?
choli [55]
This can be answered using trigonometric analysis. This sloped path that is 150 m long is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The adjacent angle would then be 65 degrees. Given these:

sin 65 = h / 150

Where: h = vertical displacement = 150 (sin 65)
h = 135.95 meters

A 2.0-cm length of wire centered on the origin carries a 20-A current directed in the positive y direction. Determine the magnet
Mumz [18]
<h3>Question:</h3>

A 2.0-cm length of wire centered on the origin carries a 20-A current directed in the positive y direction. Determine the magnetic field at the point x = 5.0m on the x-axis.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.6nT [in the negative z direction]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The magnetic field, B, due to a distance of finite value b, is given by;

B = (μ₀IL) / (4πb\sqrt{b^2 + L^2})                -----------(i)

Where;

I = current on the wire

L = length of the wire

μ₀ = magnetic constant = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m

From the question,

I = 20A

L = 2.0cm = 0.02m

b = 5.0m

Substitute the necessary values into equation (i)

B = (4π × 10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (4π x 5.0 \sqrt{5.0^2 + 0.02^2})

B = (10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (5.0 \sqrt{5.0^2 + 0.02^2})

B = (10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (5.0 \sqrt{25.0004})

B = (10⁻⁷ x 20 x 0.02) / (25.0)

B = 1.6 x 10⁻⁹T

B = 1.6nT

Therefore, the magnetic field at the point x = 5.0m  on the x-axis is 1.6nT.

PS: Since the current is directed in the positive y direction, from the right hand rule, the magnetic field is directed in the negative z-direction.
