Select the correct answer. A ball is thrown straight down from the top of a building at a velocity of 16 ft/s. The building is 4

80 feet tall, and the acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft/s2. This problem can be represented using the following equation. How much time will the ball take to reach the ground

Answer:

The ball takes 5s to reach the ground

Explanation:

in order to solve this problem we use the kinematics equation with gravity as acceleration:

h=v_0t+1/2*gt^2

we replace the values

0=1/2*32t^2+16t-480

We solve this quadratic equation:

t=5s

t=-6s   (this solution has not physical sense)

A person hears a siren as a fire truck approaches and passes by. The frequency varies from 480Hz on approach to 400Hz going away
alekssr [168]

Answer:

31.2 m/s

Explanation:

f_{app} = Frequency of approach = 480 Hz

f_{aw} = Frequency of going away = 400 Hz

V = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

v = Speed of truck

Frequency of approach is given as

f_{app} = \frac{Vf}{V - v}                           eq-1

Frequency of moving awayy is given as

f_{aw} = \frac{Vf}{V + v}                          eq-2

Dividing eq-1 by eq-2

\frac{f_{app}}{f_{aw}} = \frac{V + v}{V - v}

\frac{480}{400} = \frac{343 + v}{343 - v}

v = 31.2 m/s

Find the intensity of a 55 dB sound given I 0=10^-12W/m^2
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

3.16 × 10^{-7} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

β(dB)=10 × log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_{0} })

I_{0}=10^{-12} W/m^{2}

β=55 dB

Therefore plugging into the equation the values,

55=10 log_{10}(\frac{I}{ [tex]10^{-12}})[/tex]

5.5= log_{10}(\frac{I}{ [tex]10^{-12}})[/tex]

10^{5.5}= \frac{I}{10^{-12} }

316227.76×10^{-12}= I

I= 3.16 × 10^{-7} W/m^{2}

Rebecca heated 50mL of water from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. How much energy did she use to heat the water? Rememb
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Q = 12540  J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of water, m = 50 mL = 50 g

It is heated from 0 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.

We need to find the energy required to heat the water. The formula use to find it as follows :

Q=mc\Delta T

Where c is the specific heat of water, c = 4.18 J/g°C

Put all the values,

Q=50\times 4.18\times (60-0)\\Q=12540\ J

So, 12540 J of energy is used to heat the water.
