If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling

Physics

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

The bodies in this universe attract one another name the scientist who propounded this statement​
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

It was proposed by Isaac Newton

Explanation:

The law of universal attraction of expression

          F = G \ \frac{m_1m_2}{ r^2}G m1m2 / r ^ 2

where G is a constant, m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the bodies and r the distance between them.

It was proposed by Isaac Newton

With this law Newton explained that the force that pulls the moon towards the earth is the same as that which attracts an apple towards the earth

Pluto was first observed in 1930, and its largest moon, Charon, was discovered in 1978. A few years after Charon’s discovery, as
mylen [45]

Answer:

The average densities of both matches the expected density for objects made from water ice.

Explanation:

Charon's density is 1.2 to 1.3 g / cm3, while Pluto's density is 1.8 to 2.1 g / cm3. This was discovered in many researches and measurements of these two celestial bodies, with the objective of understanding them and promoting efficient scientific knowledge.

With the measurements of the average densities between pluto and Charon it was possible to conclude several statements about them. Firstly, it is possible to see that the two formed independently and at different times, in addition to indicating the existence of few rocks in charon, which is consistent with the average density of objects made mostly of water ice.

Explain how a generator creates electricity.
vlada-n [284]

Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit. hope it helps man
