Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Height of the building = 400 feet

Height of the ball from the ground is given by

h=400−16t²

This formula has been derived from

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 32 ft/s²

u = Initial velocity = 0

t = Time taken

Substituting all the values we get

s=0t+\frac{1}{2}32t^2\\\Rightarrow s=16t^2

This is the height of the ball from the top of the building

The height of the ball from the ground will be

h = 400-s

⇒h = 400−16t²

When h = 256 ft

256=400-16t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{256-400}{-16}}\\\Rightarrow t=3\ s

Time taken by the ball to reach a height of 256 feet above the ground is 3 seconds

A source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 495 nm in air. when the light passes through a liquid, its wavelength reduces t
Katyanochek1 [597]
By definition, the refractive index is
n = c/v
where c =  3 x 10⁸ m/s,  the speed of light in vacuum
v = the speed of light in the medium (the liquid).

The frequency of the light source is
f = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(495 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 6.0606 x 10¹⁴ Hz

Because the wavelength in the liquid is 434 nm = 434 x 10⁻⁹ m, 
v = (6.0606 x 10¹⁴ 1/s)*(434 x 10⁻⁹ m) = 2.6303 x 10⁸ m/s

The refractive index is (3 x 10⁸)/(2.6303 x 10⁸) = 1.1406

Select the THREE ways that the parallel-plate capacitor differs from a car battery.
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1. battery is capable of continuous current, capacitor is not

2. battery maintains a potential, capacitor does not

3. battery stores chemical energy, capacitor stores electric energy

Explanation:

1. battery is capable of continuous current, capacitor is not

This is because the battery maintains a constant current throughout while the capacitor maintains an exponential decaying current.

2. battery maintains a potential, capacitor does not

This is because, the battery has a potential at its terminal due to its emf whereas, the capacitor needs a potential to be applied to its terminals.

3. battery stores chemical energy, capacitor stores electric energy

This is because, the battery converts chemical energy to electrical energy whereas, the capacitor stores electric energy due to its ability to store electric charge.
