Since the stone is being dropped, you know that it is in free fall. That means you can use your kinematics equations, since acceleration is free fall is a constant 9.8 m/s^2 down.

Looking through the kinematics equations, you want to use one that lets you find t, time, while using variables that we already know the values of. Notice that in the equation:
x_f = x_{0} + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2

Say that the rock starts at point x=0. That means the initial value of x, the position, is x_0 = 0m, and the final position is x_f = -4.9m. We are also told that the initial velocity, v_0 = 0, assuming it's being dropped from rest, and a = -9.8 m/s^2. Plug these numbers in and solve for t:
x_f = x_0 + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2\\ x_f - x_0 = \frac{1}{2} a t^2\\ -4.9 - 0 = \frac{1}{2} a t^2\\ -9.8 = a t^2\\ -9.8 = -9.8 t^2\\ 1 = t^2\\ t = 1 \: second

Answer: t = 1 s

iren [92.7K]
The answer is letter b, the rotor will jam. It is because if there are too many washers, it will be overcrowded, making the rotor to jam in it, where this will lead the motor to dysfunction or not function properly. It is best not to place too many washers in the end of the shaded pole motor shaft to prevent further complications.

A 45.0-kg sample of ice is at 0.00°C. How much heat is needed to melt it? For water, Lf=334 kJ/kg and Lv=2257 kJ/kg 
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Heat required to change the phase of ice is given by

Q = m* L

here

m = mass of ice

L = latent heat of fusion

now we have

m = 45 kg

L = 334 KJ/kg

now by using above formula

Q = 45 * 334 * 10^3

Q = 1.5 * 10^7 J

In KJ we can convert this as

Q = 1.5 * 10^4 kJ

so the correct answer is D option

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

82.4 cm

Explanation:

The object and screen are kept fixed ie the distance between them is fixed and by displacing lens between them images are formed on the screen . In the first case let u be the object distance and v be the image distance

then ,

u + v = 184 cm

In the second case of image formation , v becomes u and u becomes v only then image formation in the second case is possible.

The difference between two object distance ie(  v - u ) is the distance by which lens is moved so

v - u = 82.4 cm
