Question
A bridge that was 6.3 m long has been washed out by the rain several days ago. How fast must a car be going to successfully jump the stream? Although the road is level on both sides of the bridge, the road on the far side is 3.9 m lower than the road on this side.

How long does it take thestone to reach the water?arrow_forwardStokes' Law describes sedimentation of particles in liquids and can be used to measure viscosity. Particles in liquids achieve terminal velocity quickly. One can measure the time it takes for a particle to fall a certain distance and then use Stokes' Law to calculate the viscosity of the fluid. Suppose a steel ball bearing (density 7.8x103 kg/m3, diameter 3.0 mm) is dropped in a container of motor oil. It takes 12 s to fall a distance of 0.60 m.
