Not so sure, but the higher u go, the more colder it gets, for the warmer air stays down.

Because cool air rises and warm air falls, so if you wanted the cooler air, you would need to go to higher elevation

Figure 1.18 (Chapter 1) shows the Hoover Dam Bridge over

stiks02 [169]

Answer: 7.436 s

Explanation:

This situation is related to vertical motion, specifically free fall and can be modelled by the following equation:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o} t+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$

Where:

$y= 0m$ is the final height of the object (when it makes splash)

$y_{o}=271 m$ is the initial height of the object

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the object (it was dropped)

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity (directed downwards)

$t$ is the time since the objecct is dropped until it makes splash

$0=y_{o}+0+\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$

Clearing $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2y_{o}}{g}}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-2(271 m)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}}$

Finally:

$t=7.436 s$

How much voltage (in terms of the power source voltage bV) will the capacitor have when it has started at zero volts potential d

Archy [21]

Answer:

The voltage is $V = 0.993V_b$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time that has passed is $t = \frac{\tau}{2}$

Here $\tau$ is know as the time constant

The voltage of the power source is $V_b$

Generally the voltage equation for charging a capacitor is mathematically represented as

$V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{t}{\tau} }]$

=> $V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\frac{\tau}{2}}{\tau} }]$

=> $V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\tau}{2\tau} }]$

=> $V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{1}{2} }]$

=> $V = 0.993V_b$

Research the potential for a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon. What are two of the biggest concerns with a large earthqu

Sphinxa [80]

There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .

Explanation:

Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.

So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.

The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check on any gas leakages.

Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.

A man with a weight of 100 N is located

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Given,

mass of man = 100 N = 10 kg

height = h = 25m

since the man does not move anything with his force, work done by him is zero

work done on the man = gain in potential energy

P.E=mgh

P.E=10×9.8×25

P.E=2.45KJ

Explanation:

so, potential energy gained by man is 2.45 KJ
