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}

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

(a) R_{c}=0.87ohms

(b) V_{T}=114.44V

Explanation:

Part (a)

The total length of copper cord L=86.3 m

The cross sectional area A=1.71×10⁻⁶m²

The resistivity of copper p=1.72×10⁻⁸Ω

Thus the resistance of extension cord is

R_{c}=p\frac{L}{A}\\R_{c}=(1.72*10^{-8} )\frac{86.3}{1.71*10^{-6}}\\R_{c}=0.87ohms

Part (b)

The resistance of trimmer Rt=17.9 ohms

When voltage of 120V is applied then the current I is passing through series circuit is

I=\frac{120V}{R_{c} +R_{T} }\\I=\frac{120V}{0.87 +17.9 } \\I=6.4A

Thus the voltage across the trimmer is:

V_{T}=IR_{T}\\V_{T}=(6.4)*(17.9)\\V_{T}=114.44V

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

D. Exothermic, because energy is being absorbed from the surroundings

Explanation:

This is true about the Exothemic reaction due to the fact that, the reaction occurs outside the body. During this reaction, the energy being absorbed <em>from the surrounding environment will hit the body surface thereby creating the coldness due to the heat given out from the body  being minimal.</em>
