A student needs to use the metric system while measuring the length of a box. Which units should he use?

2 answers:

8 0

It depends on the size of the box.

-- If it's one of the boxes printed on a sheet of graph paper,
then he should report the measurement in millimeters.

-- If it's the box that his new smartphone arrived in, then
he should probably use centimeters.

-- If it's the box that the new tractor was shipped to his
grandfather's farm in, then meters is the best unit.

A physics student with too much free time drops a watermelon from a roof of a building, hears the sound of the watermelon going

tatiyna

Answer:

28.6260196842 m

Explanation:

Let h be the height of the building

t = Time taken by the watermelon to fall to the ground

Time taken to hear the sound is 2.5 seconds

Time taken by the sound to travel the height of the cliff = 2.5-t

Speed of sound in air = 340 m/s

For the watermelon falling

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow h=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2$

For the sound

Distance = Speed × Time

$\text{Distance}=340\times (2.5-t)$

Here, distance traveled by the stone and sound is equal

$\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2=340\times (2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2=\frac{340}{4.905}(2.5-t)\\\Rightarrow t^2+69.3170234455t-173.292558614=0$

$t=\frac{-69.31702\dots +\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1},\:t=\frac{-69.31702\dots -\sqrt{69.31702\dots ^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-173.29255\dots \right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\Rightarrow t=2.4158\ s\ or\ -71\ seconds$

The time taken to fall down is 2.4158 seconds

$h=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 2.4158^2=28.6260196842\ m$

Height of the buidling is 28.6260196842 m

Assuming the pick-up trucks, trailers and road conditions are exactly the same, which vehicle will take a longer distance to sto

mars1129 [50]

I’ve answered this before so I know the question is missing an important given and that given is: 1 has an empty trailer and the other has a fully loaded one.

So, it would be the fully loaded trailer that would take a longer distance to stop because a lot of weight is being pulled, and when the brakes are started, the fully loaded trailer is more like pushing against the truck.

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250ft/s. Use the projectile formula h=−16t2+v0t to determine at what time(s), in

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot vertically upward at a rate of 250 ft/s, v₀ = 250 ft/s

The projectile formula is given by :

$h=-16t^2+v_ot$

We need to find the time(s), in seconds, the arrow is at a height of 500 ft. So,

$-16t^2+250t=500$

On solving the above quadratic equation, we get the value of t as, t = 2.35 seconds

So, the arrow is at a height of 500 feet at time t = 2.35 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

How high above the earth's surface is g reduced to 8.80m/^2?

Sladkaya [172]

Gravity changes as the altitude change. The gravitational force is proportional to 1/R2, where R is the distance from the center of the Earth the radius of earth where gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 is 6400 km this will serve as the zero mark.

g1/(g2) = R2^2/(R1)^2

so we set the constant values to R1 and the unknown distance as x

(9.8)/(8.80) = (6400-x)2/(6400)^2

solving for x we will get

x = 345.85 km above the earths surface

Hope my answer would be a great help for you.

For the meter stick shown in figure 10-4, the force F1 10.0 N acts at 10.0 cm. What is the magnitude of torque due to F1 about a

Phantasy [73]

Torque is equal position vector times (r) times force vector (F). Since F= 10 N and r = 0.1 m, so the torque is equal to (10 N) x ( 0.1 m) = 1Nm. The direction of the torque would be into the screen, clockwise rotation.
