Adog sees a flowerpot sail up and then back past a window 5.0 ft high. if the total time the pot is in sight is 1.0 seconds, find the height above the window that the pot rises.

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion kinematic equations for which acceleration (in this case gravity) is described as the change in velocity in an instant of time. Subsequently through the energy conservation equations we will find the net height.

Let's start considering that the time is 1 second, therefore,

Now the acceleration would be given as

Since the final speed is zero, and the time elapsed to reach the height is 0.5 seconds (half of the entire route) we will have that the initial speed can be expressed in terms of gravity as

Now for energy conservation, the potential energy must be equal to the kinetic energy, therefore,

PE = KE

Replacing the previous value found,

Therefore the hegiht above the windows that the pot rises is 1.225m

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
