An icicle falls off of a skyscraper from rest and falls for 34 seconds. How fast will that icicle be moving after that time? Show all work and units. (a = g = 9.81 m/s^2) *

The icicle will be moving at 333.54 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 encounter 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 icicle falls from rest for 34 seconds. We need to find the speed after that time:

vf = 9.81*34

vf = 333.54 m/s

The icicle will be moving at 333.54 m/s

scientific laws are the result of testing theories and proving them to be facts.

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
