To measure the height of a building without a ruler or tape measure, an engineer drops a rock off the top of the building and fi

nds out it takes 4.9 seconds for the rock to reach the ground. How high is the building
Could you please tell me the steps, as well? I kind of understand how to do it, but some help would be greatly appreciated (:

Thanks.

The relevant equation we can use in this problem is:

h = v0 t + 0.5 g t^2

where h is height, v0 is initial velocity, t is time, g is gravity

 

Since it was stated that the rock was drop, so it was free fall and v0 = 0, therefore:

h = 0 + 0.5 * 9.81 m/s^2 * (4.9 s)^2

<span>h = 117.77 m</span>

The efficiency of a light source is the percentage of its energy input that gets radiated as visible light. if some of the blue
Anestetic [448]

The efficiency of a light source is the percentage of its energy input that gets radiated as visible light if some of the blue light in an led is used to cause a fluorescent material to glow the overall efficiency of the LED decreases.

How efficient is LED?

Different wavelengths that correlate to different visible colours are used in LED light therapy. Various shades pierce the skin at different rates.

  1. Your skin's outermost layer is impacted by blue light.
  2. Yellow light is more enveloping.
  3. Red light penetrates your skin more deeply.
  4. The deepest penetrating light is near-infrared.

Different LED hues have various effects. For instance, according to experts red LED light therapy has the potential to reduce inflammation and boost collagen formation, which declines with age and is crucial for maintaining youthful-looking skin.

Acne-causing bacteria may be destroyed by a blue LED light therapy (P. acnes).

Hence the answer is the overall efficiency of the LED decreases.

Find the total electric charge of 1.7 kg of electrons. me=9.11×10−31kg, e=1.60×10−19C.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

2.99\cdot 10^{11}C

Explanation:

The mass of one electron is

m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg

So the number of electrons contained in M=1.7 kg of mass is

N=\frac{M}{m_e}=\frac{1.7 kg}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg}=1.87\cdot 10^{30}

The charge of one electron is

e=1.60\cdot 10^{-19} C

So, the total charge of these electrons is equal to the charge of one electron times the number of electrons:

Q=Ne=(1.87\cdot 10^{30})(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)=2.99\cdot 10^{11}C

What does activation energy has to do with a chemical reaction.
asambeis [7]

Explanation:

Activation energy and reaction rate

The activation energy of a chemical reaction is closely related to its rate. Specifically, the higher the activation energy, the slower the chemical reaction will be. ... The released energy helps other fuel molecules get over the energy barrier as well, leading to a chain reaction.

. A 13-g goldfinch has a speed of 8.5 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?
lesya692 [45]
PLEASE PRESS THE “Thanks!” BUTTON! :)
13 g —> 0.013 kg
KE = 1/2(m)(v)^2
KE = 1/2(0.013)(8.5)^2
KE = 0.47 J
