The distance an object falls, from rest, in gravity is

                         D  =  (1/2) (G) (T²)

                        'T' is the number seconds it falls.

In this problem,

                         0.92 meter = (1/2) (9.8) (T²)

Divide each side by  4.9 :   0.92 / 4.9 = T²

Take the square root
of each side:                          √(0.92/4.9) = T

                                                  0.433 sec = T    

The horizontal speed doesn't make a bit of difference in
how long it takes to reach the floor.  BUT ... if you want to
know how far from the table the pencil lands, you can find
that with the horizontal speed.

The pencil is in the air for  0.433 second.
In that time, it travels
                                   (0.433s) x (1.4 m/s) = 0.606 meter

from the edge of the table.

A mover uses a ramp to load a crate of nails onto a truck. The crate, which must be lifted 1.5 m from the street to the bed of t
const2013 [10]

Answer: M.A = 3

Explanation:

A ramp is an example of an inclined plain. Where the

Height H = 1.5 m

Length L = 4.5 m

Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load to effort. While mechanical advantage M.A of an inclined plain is the ratio of the length of the plain to the height of the plain.

M.A = L/H

Substitute the values of L and H into the formula

M.A = 4.5/1.5 = 3

The mechanical advantage of the ramp is 3

Why are we able to use nuclear energy for practical purposes? The reactions are controlled to regulate energy output. The reacti
musickatia [10]

Answer: The reactions are controlled to regulate energy output

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is produced when either two nuclei fuse to produce larger nucleus or a bigger nuclei splits into two smaller nucleus.

Uranium easily splits to produce nuclear energy. The reactions are controlled and energy output can be regulated. Nuclear energy in abundant yet controlled amount is available. Nuclear energy is mostly used in steam turbines to produce electricity.

A point charge q1 = 4.50 nC is located on the x-axis at x = 1.95 m , and a second point charge q2 = -6.80 nC is on the y-axis at
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

One charge is situated at x = 1.95 m . Second charge is situated at y = 1.00 m

These two charges are situated outside sphere as it has radius of .365 m with center at origin. So charge inside sphere = zero.

Applying Gauss's theorem

Flux through spherical surface = charge inside sphere / ε₀

= 0 / ε₀

= 0 Ans .
