A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. one of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to

the victim with an initial velocity of 1.46 m/s and observes that is takes 1.8 s to reach the water. how high above the water was the preserver released? note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.

When the life preserver is dropped from the helicopter, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force. This modifies the equations of motion. Thus, the working equation is written below:

h = vt + 0.5gt²
where
v is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s²
h is the height of the fall

h = (1.46 m/s)(1.8 s) + 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(1.8 s) 
h = 11.457 m

Which of the following describes the measure of current
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

b. The rate at which charge flows

Explanation:

First we must complete the question:

Which of the following describes the measure of current:

a. The quality of the charge flow

b.The rate at which charge flows

c. The ability for something to have a charge flow

d.The potential for a charge to flow

The answer is b) The rate at which charge flows

The electric current is the electric charge flow that passes through a conductive material for a certain period of time. It is expressed in C / s, culombios per second in the international system of units, and the unit is known as Ampere (a)

The charge can be defined by culombio [C]

Although the use of absorbances at 450 nm provided you with maximum sensitivity, the absorbances at, say, 400 nm or 500 nm are n
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Yes, the value will be the same.

Explanation:

Yes, or at least to some degree, that value of K will remain the same. You're looking for a difference in absorbance, and the difference should be visible at all wavelengths, not only at the limit. That being said, resolution varies, and if we don't read the value to the maximum, we can get a less accurate reading.
