Bit of an odd question. Power Plants are known to use water-powered turbines to generate electricity, but can also make use of nuclear fission.
Answer:
Second drop: 1.04 m
First drop: 1.66 m
Explanation:
Assuming the droplets are not affected by aerodynamic drag.
They are in free fall, affected only by gravity.
I set a frame of reference with the origin at the nozzle and the positive X axis pointing down.
We can use the equation for position under constant acceleration.
X(t) = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2
x0 = 0
a = 9.81 m/s^2
v0 = 0
Then:
X(t) = 4.9 * t^2
The drop will hit the floor when X(t) = 1.9
1.9 = 4.9 * t^2
t^2 = 1.9 / 4.9
That is the moment when the 4th drop begins falling.
Assuming they fall at constant interval,
Δt = 0.62 / 3 = 0.2 s (approximately)
The second drop will be at:
X2(0.62) = 4.9 * (0.62 - 1*0.2)^2 = 0.86 m
And the third at:
X3(0.62) = 4.9 * (0.62 - 2*0.2)^2 = 0.24 m
The positions are:
1.9 - 0.86 = 1.04 m
1.9 - 0.24 = 1.66 m
above the floor
The salesman is telling you the average magnitude of the car's acceleration.
| Acceleration | = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
| Acceleration | = (60 mi/hr) / (6 sec)
| Acceleration | = 10 miles/hr-sec
That would be 36,000 miles per hour squared,
or 0.0028 mile per second squared.
When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle after which all the light is reflected (so, there is no refraction).
The value of this critical angle can be derived by Snell's law, and it is equal to
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.
In our problem, n1=1.47 and n2=1.33, so the critical angle is
Answer:
About two kilometers away
Explanation:
Given:
The time gap between the light and sound to travel to the house,
<em>Since the clouds are formed in the troposphere region of the atmosphere which extends from 8 kilometers to 12 kilometers above the earth-surface and the velocity of light is 300000 kilometers per second so it is visible almost instantly, hence we neglect the time taken by the light to travel to the house from the clouds.</em>
<u>∴Distance between the lightning-strike and the house:</u>
we have the speed of sound as:
So,
