Here’s an example

Example 1

CSI discovers a car at the bottom of a 72 m cliff. How fast was the car going if it landed 22m horizontally from the cliff’s edge? (Note that the cliff is flat, i.e. the car came off the cliff horizontally).

v= ? [m/s]

Given: h=Δy=72 m

d=Δx=22 m

g=10.0 m/s2

Equation: h=viyt+12gt2 and d=vixt

Plug n’ Chug:

Step 1: Calculate the time required for the car to freefall from a height of 72 m.

h=viyt+12gt2 but since viy=0, the equation simplifies to h=12gt2 rearranging for the unknown variable, t, yields

t=2hg‾‾‾√=2(72 m)10.0 m/s2‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾√=3.79 s

Step 2: Solve for initial velocity:

vix=dt=22 m3.79 s=5.80 m/s

The answer is 5.80 m/s.

Which of the following characteristics of Earth's relationship to the Sun explains the existence of Earth's seasons? Choose all
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Earth's axis is tilted relative to its orbital plane.

Earth orbits around the Sun, completing one orbit each year

Explanation:

The earth tilt at an angle causes the sun rays to hit the earth surface around the globe differently. Due to the oblique angle that the rays hit the subtropics and poles, there is less heat intensity compared to the equator where the sun rays hit the earth's surface at a more or less right angle.

The earth rotation around the sun also causes seasons coupled with the earth’s tilts. As the earth rotates, in one point in the orbit, the northern or southern hemispheres will be tilted towards the sun. The phenomenon varies the local temperatures of particular regions of the earth hence driving seasonal climatic changes.

Suppose Earth's mass increased but Earth's diame-
navik [9.2K]

Answer: It would increase.

Explanation:

The equation for determining the force of the gravitational pull between any two objects is:

F = G \frac{m1m2}{r^2}

Where G is the universal gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one body, m2 is the mass of the other body, and r^2 is the distance between the two objects' centers squared.

Assuming the Earth's mass but not its diameter increased, in the equation above m1 (the term usually indicative of the object of larger mass) would increase, while the r^2 would not.

Thus, it goes without saying that, with some simple reasoning about fractions, an increasing numerator over a constant denominator would result in a larger number to multiply by G, thus also meaning a larger gravitational strength between Earth and whatever other object is of interest.

Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.

Charge q1 is distance s from the negative plate of a parallel-plate capacitor. Charge q2=q1/3 is distance 2s from the negative p
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The ratio (U₁/U₂) = 6

Explanation:

U, the potential energy is given as

U = kqQ/r

k = Coulomb's constant

q = charge we're concerned about

Q = charge of the negative plate of the capacitor

r = distance of q from the negative plate of the capacitor.

For charge q₁

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₂Q/2s

But q₂ = q₁/3

U₂ becomes U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

U₁ = kq₁Q/s

U₂ = kq₁Q/6s

(U₁/U₂) = 6
