For the seagull that is ascending straight upward at 5.2 m/s and drops a shell when it is 12.5 m above the ground, we have:

A) The acceleration of the shell right after it is released is given by the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s².

B) The maximum height above the ground reached by the shell is 13.9 m.

C) The time for the shell to return to a heigh of 12.5 m above the ground is 1.06 s.

A) Since the shell is dropped, the acceleration after it is released is the same at each point of height as it falls, so the acceleration of the shell is:

$g = 9.81 m/s^{2}$

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity

Hence, the acceleration of the shell is 9.81 m/s²

B) The maximum height reached by the shell can be calculated with the following equation:

$h_{max} = h_{i} + h_{f}$ (1)

Where:

$h_{i}$ : is the initial height = 12.5 m

$h_{f}$ : is the final height

The final height is the height reached by the shell after it is released. It can be calculated with the next equation:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} - 2gh_{f}$ (2)

Where:

$v_{f}$ : is the final velocity = 0 (in the maximum height)

$v_{i}$ : is the initial velocity = 5.2 m/s

$h_{f}$ : is the height reached by the shell after it is released

The final heigh is (eq 2):

$h_{f} = \frac{v_{i}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(5.2 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.81 m/s^{2}} = 1.4 m$

Now, the maximum height is (eq 1):

$h_{max} = h_{i} + h_{f} = 12.5 m + 1.4 m = 13.9 m$

Then, the maximum height reached by the shell is 13.9 m.

C) The time for the shell to go from the maximum height to 12.5 m (falling time) can be calculated with:

$y_{f} = y_{i} + v_{i}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$v_{i}$ : is the initial velocity in its way down = 0 (it is going free fall)

$y_{f}$ : is the final height = 12.5 m

$y_{i}$ : is the initial height = 13.9 m (maximum height)

The falling time is:

$12.5 m = 13.9 m + 0 - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*t_{f}^{2}$

$t_{f} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(13.9 m - 12.5 m)}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 0.53 s$

Now, the time to return to 12.5 is twice the above time (time to go up plus the time to go down).

$t = 2*t_{f} = 2*0.53 s = 1.06 s$

Therefore, the time for the shell to return to a height of 12.5 m is 1.06 s.

(B) 13.9 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.2 m/s

y₀ = 12.5 m

(A) The acceleration in free fall is -9.8 m/s².

(B) At maximum height, v = 0 m/s.

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (5.2 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 12.5 m)

y = 13.9 m

v = at + v₀

-5.2 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.2 m/s

t = 1.06 s

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?
