As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .

   Potential energy =      (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

                                       (3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .

If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.

   Kinetic energy =                                          (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                                                 23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by  1.5 kg :     23.52 m²/s² = speed²

Take the square root of each side:    speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) =  <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)

Solve 3* +5-220t = 0​
slega [8]

Answer:

t = 27.5

Explanation:

3 + 5 -220t = 0

Well to solve for t we need to combine like terms and seperate t.

So 3+5= 8

8 - 220t = 0

We do +220 to both sides

8 = 220t

And now we divide 220 by 8 which is 27.5

Hence, t = 27.5

Cool facts about satellites ???
svetoff [14.1K]
Satellites travel at 18,000 miles per hour. ...

A satellite gets better fuel economy than a Prius.

If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building.

There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.

When Mendeleev organized elements in his periodic table in order of increasing mass, similar elements with similar properties we
Temka [501]
Similar elements with similar properties were in the same groups and periods for instance lithium(Li) and sodium(Na) are alkaline metals and so belong to the same group (that is group 1).Also Hydrogen(H) and Helium(He) both have only one shell or energy level and so belong to the same period.

a bubble of air of volume 1cm^3 is released by a deep sea diver at a depth where the pressure is 4.0 atmospheres. assuming its t
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

hope this helps!

Explanation:

Volume of the air bubble, V1=1.0cm3=1.0×10−6m3

Bubble rises to height, d=40m

Temperature at a depth of 40 m, T1=12oC=285K

Temperature at the surface of the lake, T2=35oC=308K

The pressure on the surface of the lake: P2=1atm=1×1.103×105Pa 

The pressure at the depth of 40 m: P1=1atm+dρg

Where,

ρ is the density of water =103kg/m3

g is the acceleration due to gravity =9.8m/s2

∴P1=1.103×105+40×103×9.8=493300Pa

We have T1P1V1=T2P2V2

Where, V2 is the volume of the air bubble when it reaches the surface.

V2=

No official standard exists for extinguisher-cylinder colors. that said, a red cylinder is typically associated with which type
Lorico [155]
Fire extinguishers are typically red. Goes along with the red fire trucks and red being a color of emergency. While there isn't any standard, if we decided to change the colors of the fire extinguisher, people would be very confused and given the context, it could cost people's lives, so I'm thinking red will be the color of fire extinguishers for a while to come.
