According to guinness, the tallest man to have ever lived was robert pershing wadlow of alton, illinois. he was last measured in 1940 to be 2.72 meters tall (8 feet, 11 inches). determine the speed which a quarter would have reached before contact with the ground if dropped from rest from the top of his head.

You've already seen the value of 9.8 in this lesson. what's this value called? what quantity does it represent?

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.

Astudent pushes a 40-n block across the floor for a distance of 10 m. how much work was applied to move the block? a. 4 j b. 40 j c. 400 j d. 4000 j
