Explanation:

It is given that, the height of a certain tower is 862 feet i.e to reach on the ground the object should travel, s = 862 feet

The distance traveled by a freely falling object is given by :

s(t)=16t^2

16t^2=862

t=\sqrt{53.875}

t = 7.34 seconds

So, the object will take 7.34 seconds to fall to the ground from the top of the​ building. Hence, this is the required solution.

What happens to the energy when the material is changed?
expeople1 [14]

Answer: When a material is heated or cooled, two changes may happen to the particles within the material: Chemical bonds between the particles may form, break or stretch. There is a change in the chemical potential store of energy in the material. The material will heat up or cool down as the particles within it gain or lose speed.

Which statement about tempture is correct
motikmotik

Answer:

B temperature is an indirect measurement of the heat energy in a substance

Explanation:

The concept of temperature can be easily understood by looking at what happens when two objects are placed in contact with each other. By common experience, we know that the hotter object transfers heat energy to the colder object, until the two objects are in thermal equilibrium (= they have same temperature).

Thinking about the example above, we can say therefore that the temperature is an indirect measurement of the heat energy possessed by an object (or substance).

For a monoatomic gas, for instance, we define its internal energy as

U=\frac{3}{2}nRT

where n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature. From the formula, we see that the temperature is related to the internal energy of the gas, so measuring the temperature means indirectly measuring its internal energy.

If a car accelerates uniformly from rest to 15 meters
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.125m/s^2

Explanation:

Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with respect to time. Mathematically

v^2= u^2+2as

Where a,v,u and s are the acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and distance respectively.

a = ?

u = 0m/s

v = 15m/s

s = 100m

Substituting the values into the formula above

v^2= u^2+2as

15^2=0^2+2×a×100

225= 0+200a

225= 200a

Divide both sides by 200

225/200 = 200a/200

a= 1.125m/s^2

Hence the acceleration of the car is 1.125m/s^2.

Note that the car accelerated uniformly from rest, that was why the initial velocity was 0m/s

3. Explain why one side of the single magnet attracted the metal surface, but repelled the stack of magnets
valina [46]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

one side of the single magnet attracted the metal surface, but repelled the stack of magnets because  magnet's both poles  try to attract by inducing opposite pole on the metal surface,but the pole closer to the metal is able to induce more magnetic character .so, attractive force due to this is more strong as the distance is also less as compared to the other pole.
