Even though the plane is moving horizontally, the only thing that matters for figuring out how long it’ll take the whee to fall are vertical forces.

In this case the only vertical force is gravity, which has an acceleration of 9.8m/s^2. We are also given height (distance) and starting velocity (0 m/s). We need to solve for time. The equation that incorporates these variables is:

d = vt + ½ at^2
500 = 0t + ½ (9.8)t^2
500 = 4.9t^2
t^2 = 102
t = 10.1 seconds

Why is it necessary for cells to be so small​
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Cells are small because they need to keep a surface area to volume ratio that allows for adequate intake of nutrients while being able to excrete the cells waste.

Explanation:

That is why the cell needs to be small

Questions are in the picture ^ (please answer separately)
Klio2033 [76]
A: The battery is a store of internal energy (shown as chemical energy). The energy is transferred through the wires to the lamp, which then transfers the energy to the surroundings as light. These are the useful energy transfers - we use electric lamps to light up our rooms.

B: In the case of the light bulb the 95J of energy transferred as heat is wasted energy as it is not useful because the purpose of the device is to produce light.

If a roller coaster car had 40,000 J of gravitational potential energy when at rest on the top of a hill how much kinetic energy
Inessa [10]

Answer:

K.E = 30,000 J

Explanation:

Given,

The potential energy of the roller coaster car, P.E = 40000 J

The kinetic energy at height h/4, K.E = ?

According to the law of conservation of energy, the total energy of the system is conserved.

At height 'h', the total energy is,

                                    P.E = mgh

                                     K.E = 0

At height 'h/4', the total energy is

                                     P.E + K.E = mgh

                                     P.E = mgh/4

                                     K.E = 1/2 mv²

Therefore,

                                   mgh/4 + 1/2 mv² = mgh

                                    gh/4 + v²/2 = gh

Hence,

                                      v² = 3gh/2

Substituting in the K.E equation

                               K.E = 1/2 mv²

                                      = 1/2 m (3gh/2)

                                       = 3/4 mgh

                                        = 3/4 x 40000

                                         = 30000 J

Hence, the K.E of the roller coaster car is, K.E = 30000 J
