I believe the answer is b) slowly heating the surface
A circle has a revolution of 360°. Since there are 12 hour markings, each hour interval has an angle of 30°. In radians, that would be equal to π/6 radians. So, in every 1 hour that passes, it covers π/6 of an angle. So, the angular velocity denoted as ω is π/6 ÷ 1 hour = π/6 rad/h. We can compute the average linear velocity, v, from the relationship:
v = rω, where r is the radius of the circle which is the length of the hour hand
v = (2.4 cm)(π/6 rad/h)
v = 1.257 cm/hour
Therefore, the average velocity is 1.257 cm per hour.
For the average acceleration, it is equal to zero. The hands of the clock move at a constant velocity. Since acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time, there is no change of velocity because it's constant. That's why it is zero.
Here, ball is released... and it is in free fall means with zero initial velocity.
We know, s = ut + 1/2 at²
Here, s = 1000 m
u = 0
a = 10 m/s2
Substitute their values,
1000 = 0 + 1/2 * 10 * t²
2000 = 10 * t²
t² = 2000 /10
t = √200
t = 14.14 s
In short, Your Answer would be 14.14 seconds
Hope this helps!
You don't need to worry about the 10 year bit with this question. Just grab a calculator and divide 100/2, then the answer to that (50) by 2 etc and keep dividing by 2 until you get down to 6.25.
The answer ends up being 4 half lives :)
If you don't understand what a half life is please let me know :)
