The time required for this object to fall freely is 10.10 seconds.

Given the following data:

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s (since the object is starting from rest). Distance, S = 500 meters.

We know that acceleration due to gravity (a) for an object in free fall is equal to 9.8 meter per seconds square.

To find the time required for this object to fall freely, we would use the second equation of motion.

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Where:

S is the displacement or distance covered. u is the initial velocity. a is the acceleration. t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

$500 = 0(t) + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\\\500 = 4.9t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{500}{4.9}\\\\t^2 = 102.04\\\\t = \sqrt{102.04}$

Time, t = 10.10 seconds

Therefore, the time required for this object to fall freely is 10.10 seconds.

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?

Why does the equilibrium position of the spring change when a mass is added to the spring? will the mass oscillate around the new equilibrium position of the spring or the previous position without a mass attached to the spring? if the equilibrium position of the spring changes by 20 cm (assuming no initial mass) when a mass is added to the spring with constant 4.9 kg/s^2, what is the mass of the object attached to the spring?
