To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. With the data provided we will calculate the time of the first object to fall. Later we will get the time difference between the two. This difference will allow us to find the free fall distance. Through the distance we will find the initial velocity, that is,

x = v_0 t +\frac{1}{2}at^2

48.1 = 0*t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2

t = 3.13s

The second object is thrown downward at one second later and it meets the first object at the water is

t' = 3.13 -1.48

t' = 1.65s

The distance of the object will travel due to free fall acceleration is

x = v_0 t+\frac{1}{2} at^2

x = 0*(1.65) +\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1.65)^2

x = 13.34m

The distance of the object will travel due to its initial velocity is

v_0 = \frac{d_0}{t}

d_0 = v_0 t

48.1-13.34 = v_0 (1.65)

v_0 = 21.06m/s

Therefore the initial speed of the second object is 21.06m/s

Why do chillies burn even through they’re cold?
tigry1 [53]

When chilies burn in our mouths, the surrounding temperature does not affect how hot the taste of the chilli is. It is only the spiciness that we taste in our mouths. This spiciness is caused by the chemical called capsaicin. This chemical is contained in the cells of the chilli. Capsaicin irritates the cells in your mouth so that is why you feel the discomfort in your mouth.

Hope it helps :)

Answer:

D. are brought from the mantle to the surface in magma that hardens into komatiite.

Explanation:

Diamond :

 It is the hardest form of carbon.The atomic atoms arrange in the cubic crystal structure and this is known as diamond cubic.Another form of the diamond at room temperature is graphite.This is used for making jewelry.This is also used in the cutting process because it has high strength.

Therefore the correct option for the diamond is D.

You are pulling a child in a wagon. The rope handle is inclined upward at a 60∘ angle. The tension in the handle is 20 N.
dem82 [27]
  • Angle (θ) = 60°
  • Force (F) = 20 N
  • Distance (s) = 200 m
  • Therefore, work done
  • = Fs Cos θ
  • = (20 × 200 × Cos 60°) J
  • = (20 × 200 × 1/2) J
  • = (20 × 100) J
  • = 2000 J

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

<u>2</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>J</u>

Hope you could get an idea from here.

How much time will it take to do 33j of work with 11 w of power
Yuri [45]

Time required : 3 s

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Power is the work done/second.

\tt P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=power,j/s,watt\\\\W=work, J\\\\t=times=s

 

To do 33 J of work with 11 W of power

P = 11 W

W = 33 J

\tt t=\dfrac{W}{P}\\\\t=\dfrac{33}{11}\\\\t=\boxed{\bold{3~s}}
