This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:

D = 1/2 A T²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)

The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often.  You really should memorize it.  And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)

The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth.  Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .

In 5 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)

D = 122.5 meters


In 6 seconds:

D = 1/2 A T²

D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)

D = 176 meters

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the world's tallest building. The structure is 828 m (2,716.5 feet) and has more than 160 stories.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

 h = 599.5 m

Explanation:

Given,

height of structure = 828 m

weight of the tourist = 184 lb

                                 = 184 x 0.45359 = 83.43 Kg

Potential energy = 187000 J

PE = m gd

d = \frac{PE}{mg}

d = \frac{187000}{83.43\times 9.81}

h = 228.5 m

Height of the room above the ground.

 h = 828 - 228.5

 h = 599.5 m

Height of the floor above ground is equal to 599.5 m.

Faraday's Law states that the negative of the time rate of change of the flux of the magnetic field through a surface is equal t
MrRa [10]

Answer:

(C). The line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop

Explanation:

Faraday's law states that induced emf is directly proportional to the time rate of change of magnetic flux.

This can be written mathematically as;

EMF = -\frac{\delta \phi _B}{\delta t}

(\frac{\delta \phi _B}{\delta t} ) is the rate of change of the magnetic flux through a surface bounded by the loop.

ΔФ = BA

where;

ΔФ is change in flux

B is the magnetic field

A is the area of the loop

Thus, according to Faraday's law of electric generators

∫BdL = \frac{\delta \phi _B}{\delta t} = EMF

Therefore, the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop.

The correct option is "C"

(C). The line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop

When a gas is heated, it absorbs 196 joules of heat from the surroundings. At the same time, the gas expands, doing pressure-vol
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a) q positive; w negative.

(b) ΔE = -126 J

(c) E and ΔE

Explanation:

<em>(a) Determine whether the amounts of heat (q) and work (w) exchanged should have positive or negative signs. heat (q) positive negative work (w) positive negative</em>

By convention, when the system absorbs heat from the surroundings, its sign is positive, that is, q = 196 J.

By convention, when the system exerts work on the surroundings, its sign is negative, that is, w = -322 J.

<em>(b) Calculate the change in internal energy (ΔE) of the gas. J</em>

The change in internal energy (ΔE) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔE = q + w

ΔE = 196 J + (-322 J) = -126 J

<em>(c) Determine whether one or more of the following is a state function: </em>

<em> internal energy (E) of a system, </em>

<em>change in internal energy (ΔE) of a system, </em>

<em>heat (q) absorbed or released by a system, </em>

<em>work (w) done on or by a system.</em>

<em />

E and ΔE are state functions (they only depend on the states of the gas), whereas q and w depend on the trajectory.
