Jamie dropped a water bottle from the top of an office building. The water bottle impacted the ground after falling for 5 seconds. Calculate the velocity of the water bottle at impact with the street below.

The speed of the water bottle at impact with the street is 49 m/s

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

A free-falling object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not experience air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is .

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The water bottle dropped by Jamie takes t=5 seconds to impact the ground, thus its speed at that moment is:

vf= 9.8*5

vf =  49 m/s

The speed of the water bottle at impact with the street is 49 m/s

answer: option c.

explanation:

electrical potential energy =0.072 j

explanation:

electrical potential energy is given by

u= q δv

q= charge=6 c

δv= potential difference and is given by

δv= e d

e= electric field

d= distance=5 mm=0.005 m

δv=2.4 (0.005)=0.012 v

now electric potential energy= u= q δv

u=6 (0.012)

u=0.072 j
