If a cell phone is dropped from a very tall building, how far has the phone fallen after 2.7 seconds, neglecting air resistance?

Physics

The free fall of the phone is an uniformly accelerated motion toward the ground, with constant acceleration equal to
g=9.81 m/s^2

So, assuming the downward direction as positive direction of the motion, since the phone starts from rest the distance covered by the phone after a time t is given by
y(t) =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
And if we substitute t=2.7 s, we find the distance covered:
y(t)=  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2=35.8 m

Which processes transfer energy from the core to the photosphere
vfiekz [6]
Radiation and Convection transfer energy from the core to the photosphere. This is because energy from the core moves through a thick layer called the radiative zone. Also in the convection zone energy moves mainly by convection. Rising currents of hot gas in the convection zone carry energy toward the Sun's surface.

Solar energy is: expensive renewable inefficient during winter all of the above
creativ13 [48]

Solar energy is free and renewable.  

Its efficiency is determined by the photovoltaic or heat-exchanging equipment used, and the efficiency of the infrastructure built to interconnect them.  None of that depends on the time of the year.  For a given amount of solar energy absorbed by the collector, the amount of useful output energy doesn't change with the season.

Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all
Paha777 [63]
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
