While standing at the edge of the roof of a building, you throw a stone upward with an initial speed of 5.55 m/s. The stone subs

equently falls to the ground, which is14.7 m below the point where the stone leaves your hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? How much time is the stone in the air? Ignore air resistance and take g = 9.81 m/s2.
What is the Impact Speed:____m/s

What is the Elapsed Time:____s

Let's solve first for the impact speed. The impact speed or velocity of any free-falling body follows the formula written below:

v = √2gy
where
y is the height of the free fall

Now, the length of y includes the distance it took for the upward motion, and the free falling motion that covers the maximum height plus the remaining distance of 14.7 ft. Let's compute first the maximum height reached:

Hmax = v₀²/2g, where v₀ is the initial velocity
Hmax = (5.55 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²) = 1.57 m
Thus,
y = 1.57 m + 14.7 m = 16.27 m
v = √2(9.81 m/s²)(16.27 m)
v = 17.87 m/s

For the second question, there are two sections of the total time. The first is the time for the upward motion:
t₁ = 2v₀/g = 2(5.55 m/s)/(9.81 m/s²) = 1.13 s
The second section is the time for the free fall:
t₂ = √2y/g = √2(16.27 m)/9.81 m/s² = 1.82 s
Thus, the total time is:
Time = 1.13 s + 1.82 s = 2.95 s

A transformer has a secondary voltage of 140 volts and a secondary current of 3.5 amps. if the primary current is 10 amps, what
Lynna [10]

For an ideal transformer power loss is assumed to be zero

i.e. the power in primary coil due to input voltage must be equal to power in secondary coil due to output voltage

this can be written in form of equation

V_1 i_1 = V_2 i_2

here we know that

V_2 = 140 volts

i_2 = 3.5 A

i_1 = 10 A{/tex]now we will use above equation[tex]140*3.5 = 10 * V_1

V_1 = 49 volts

So primary coil voltage is 49 Volts

Charles' law explains which of these phenomena?
Luden [163]
I think the correct answer would be that Charles' law explains why <span>a balloon deflates when the air around it cools. Charles' law is a simplification of the ideal gas law. At constant pressure,  volume and temperature have a direct relationship. Hope this helps.</span>

Jen pushed a box for a distance of 80m with 20 N of force. How much work did she do?
Drupady [299]
The answer is 1,600 J.

A work (W) can be expressed as a product of a force (F) and a distance (d):
W = F · d<span>

We have:
W = ?
F = 20 N = 20 kg*m/s</span>²
d = 80 m
_____
W = 20 kg*m/s² * 80 m
W = 20 * 80 kg*m/s² * m
W = 1600 kg*m²/s²
W = 1600 J
