SCSU physics and astronomy student club has a recently established tradition of pumpkin drop, from the top of Wick Science Building to the "moat" below street level. Although the "experimental data" have not been made public, there have been rumors of the drop took 2.20 seconds, i.e. falling from rest with negligible air drag. Based on the rumor, how tall is the building from the "moat" to the roof?
Ignore air drag or any rotation of pumpkins.

- You have put a sonar device at the top of a frictionless inclined plane. That device allows you to measure the distance an object is from the device, as well as the speed and the acceleration of that object. If we decide that the origin (h = 0) is at the sonar device, we want to know what the height change is as we slide down the incline. For an angle below the horizontal of 9.74°, we see that our object has slid a distance 0.54 m, as measured along the incline itself. - Calculate the height change and report your answer as a negative number. (This value would be useful for calculating the change in gravitational potential energy, as we will do in the lab.) h=o earrow_forwardA rock is thrown upward with an initial speed of 18 m/s on Planet X, which has an acceleration due to gravity of 4.5 m/s2.

- Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. One model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( SI ), defined as SI=a5/2t . In the expression, t is the duration of the accleration, but a is not equal to the acceleration. Rather, a is a dimensionless constant that equals the number of multiples of g that the acceleration is equal to. In one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 16.6 km/h with an acceleration of 33.0 m/s2 . Let the +x direction point in the direction the car is traveling. What is the severity index for the collision?SI = ?How far d does the person travel during the collision if the car was initially moving forward at 5.20 km/h?d = ? marrow_forwardYou have put a sonar device at the top of a frictionless inclined plane, as shown in the diagram below.
