Answer:

(a) 0.84 s

(b) 8.22 m/s

(c) 15.33 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0 , h = 3.45 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Let time taken to reach the water is t and the velocity at the time of hitting of water surface is v.

(a) Use first equation of motion

s = u t + 1/2 a t^2

3.45 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

t = 0.84 second

(b) Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 0 + 9.8 x 0.84 = 8.22 m/s

(c) If h = 12 m

use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 12

v = 15.33 m / s

Which of the following best describes a capacitor?
galben [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The capacitor is a component which has the ability to store energy in the form of an electrical charge  making a potential difference on those two metal plates

A capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates. They are electrically seperated by an insulating material (ex: air, mica,ceramic etc.) which is called as Dielectric Layer

Due to this insulating layer, DC current can not flow through the capacitor.But it allows a voltage to be present across the plates in the form of an electrical charge.

A person wants to lose weight by "pumping iron". The person lifts an 80 kg weight 1 meter. How many times must this weight be li
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

37357 sec  

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Lifting weight 80 kg

1 cal = 4184 J

from information given in question we have

one lb fat consist of 3500 calories = 3500 x 4184 J

= 14.644 x 10^6 J  

Energy burns in 1 lift = m g h

                                  = 80 x 9.8 x 1 = 784 J

lifts required = \frac{(14.644 x 10^6)}{784}

                      = 18679

from the question,

1 lift in 2 sec.

so, total time = 18679 x 2 = 37357 sec  

or 622 min

or 10.4 hrs

How are chargeable cells different from ordinary dry cells​
topjm [15]
Ordinary cells can convert chemical energy to electrical energy only, but rechargeable cells can also store electrical energy into chemical energy and vice versa. You will study more about it in your higher classes. secondary cells can be recharged and used again but dry cells cannot be recharged.

You stand on a bathroom scale in a moving elevator. what happens to the scale reading if the cable holding the elevator suddenly
Viefleur [7K]

A bathroom scales works due to gravity. Under normal conditions, a reading can be obtained when your body is pushing some force on the scale. However in this case, since you and the scale are both moving downwards, so your body is no longer pushing on the scale. Therefore the answer is:

<span>The reading will drop to 0 instantly</span>

cos4t max will always be 1 (refer to cos graph), for same reason, sin4t will always be 0

therefore, wmax=1.2rad/s

adn=r*w^2=200*1.2^2=288
