A physics teacher performing an outdoor demonstration suddenly falls from rest off a high cliff and simultaneously shouts "Help.

" When she has fallen for 3.0 s, she hears the echo of her shout from the valley floor below. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. (a) How tall is the cliff? (b) If we ignore air resistance, how fast will she be moving just before she hits the ground? (Her actual speed will be less than this, due to air resistance.)

Answer:

532.0725 m

102.17270893 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = g

H = Height of cliff

Distance traveled in 3 seconds

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 3^2\\\Rightarrow s=44.145\ m

Distance traveled by sound = 2H-44.145 m

2H-44.145=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2H-44.145=340\times 3\\\Rightarrow H=\dfrac{340\times 3+44.145}{2}\\\Rightarrow H=532.0725\ m

The height of the cliff is 532.0725 m

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 532.0725+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=102.17270893\ m/s

Her speed just before she hits the ground is 102.17270893 m/s

If a poison is ingested that prevents the release of acetylcholine, which one of the following would occur at a myoneural juncti
kirill115 [55]
Had to look for the options and here is my answer.
Given the situation that a poison is consumed and this prevented the acetylcholine release, the one that would most likely occur at a myoneural junction is that "sodium and potassium gates on the motor end plate will not open". Hope this helps.

The first-order decomposition of cyclopropane has a rate constant of 6.7 × 10–4 s–1. If the initial concentration of cyclopropan
Ket [755]

Answer:

.864 M

Explanation:

For first order decomposition,

rate constant k = 1/t x ln a / (a - x )

given , a = 1.33 M , t = 644 s , k = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴ , a - x  = ? = b( let )

6.7 x 10 ⁻⁴ = 1/644 x ln 1.33/b

ln 1.33/b = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴ x 644 = .4315

1.33 / b = e⁰ ⁴³¹⁵ = 1.5395

b = 1.33 / 1.5395 = .864 M.

How do dominant alleles and recessive alleles differ?
Stells [14]

Answer:

A dominant allele produces a dominant trait in individuals who have one copy of the allele, that can come from one parent. To produces a recessive trait, the child must have two copies of the recessive allele, one from each parent.

Explanation:

The terms dominant and recessive describe the patterns of certain traits. They describe how likely it is for certain traits to pass from parent offspring in humans and animals. The two copies of each gene (alleles), can be slightly different from each other. The differences can cause variations in the protein that’s produced, Proteins affect traits, so variations in protein activity or expression can create different phenotypes.

A dominant allele produces a dominant phenotype (trait) in individuals who have one copy of the allele, which can come from one parent. For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent. A person with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have a dominant phenotype. They are generally considered carriers of the recessive allele- the recessive allele is there, but the recessive phenotype is not.

The waste products of a nuclear fission powerplant can best be described as
OverLord2011 [107]
A.
 
-> the products are stable atoms with a much lower atomic number. For example, Uranium 238 commonly breaks down into strontium and xenon, both of which are stable and non-radioactive.

They are also low in quantity because of the precision involved in breaking down a large atom via neutron capture means that few fission reactions take place.

Hope I helped :)
