Can someone please help me? An alien spaceship is 650 m above the ground and moving at a constant velocity of 175 m/s upwards.
How high above the ground is the ship after 5 seconds?

1525 meters above ground

Explanation:

So to do this you will need to write this in slope intercept form or . So 650 would be the b, 175 would be the m, and the x would be 5 so the equation would be so if you solve or simplify the equation you will get 1525 meters above the ground and that would be our final answer.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
