A physics student drops a rock from a 55 m cliff, it takes 3.35 seconds to hit the ground.

<u>Solution:</u>

Using the second equation of motion, s=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

Where, U= initial velocity of ball

S = distance at which rock is dropped from cliff = 55 m

t = time period

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s

Since the ball is dropped from cliff, initial velocity is zero.

u = 0

\begin{array}{l}{S=0 \times t+\frac{1}{2} 9.8 t^{2}} \\\\ {55=0+4.9 t^{2}} \\\\ {t^{2}=\frac{55}{4.9}=11.22} \\\\ {t=\sqrt{11.22} \approx 3.35 \text { second }}\end{array}

If 200 grams of water is to be heated from 24.0 degrees Celsius to 100.0 degrees Celsius to make a cup of tea, how much heat mus
Colt1911 [192]
Conveniently, some scientists have already figured out how much heat energy it takes to increase the temperature of one gram of water by exactly 1 degree Celsius. That is called the specific heat of water and it's value is 4.184J/g.

So simply multiply the specific heat with the number of grams and the number of degrees C like this:

heat = 4.184J/g * 200g * 76^o C = 63,596.8J = 63.5968 kJ

8) A plastic rod, initially uncharged, is rubbed with wool and obtains a charge of 10 C. What is the charge on the wool after ru
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The charge on the wool after rubbing is - 10 C

Explanation:

Every uncharged body is electrically neutral, if the plastic rod acquires 10 Coulombs of charge after been rubbed with wool, then the wool will be left with an equal but opposite charge. This shows that the initial charge on the wool is 10 protons and 10 electrons and when the plastic acquires 10 C (10 protons), the wool will be left with excess 10 electrons.

Therefore, the charge on the wool after rubbing is - 10 C (negative 10 Coulombs).
