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

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.

Luda [366]

Answer:

From lowest to highest acceleration:

3rd train

2nd train

1st train

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be found by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

a is the acceleration

F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

We notice that for equal values of the forces F, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, greater mass means lower acceleration, and viceversa.

So, the train with lowest acceleration is the one with largest mass, i.e. the 3rd train consisting of 50 equally loaded freight cars. Then, the 2nd train has larger acceleration, since it consists of 50 empty freight cars (so its mass is smaller). Finally, the 1st train (a single empty car) is the one with largest acceleration, since it is the train with smallest mass.

Answer:

Bullying in the schools has negative effects on individual students and on the school climate as a whole. Bullying can cause long-term problems for both the victims of bullying and the bullies themselves. To explore the effects of bullying on adolescents, we will define bullying, identify the characteristics of bullies and victims, outline the extent and consequences of bullying, and present resources for further information and assistance.

Bullying is any behavior that is initiated by one or more students against a victim or victims that causes physical or psychological intimidation. Bullying behaviors can be classified as either direct (such as teasing, threatening, hitting, or stealing) or indirect (such as rumor spreading or social isolation). Boys typically employed direct methods of bullying, while girls tend to use in direct methods. Either way, behaviors must occur repeatedly overtime to be classified as bullying.

Characteristics of Bullies and Victims

There are specific behaviors that bullies tend to exhibit. The bullies often need to feel powerful and in control. They may feel no remorse when they inflict injury and suffering on others. Bullies tend to defy authority and are likely to break school rules. They seem to have little anxiety and appear to possess high self-esteem. Students who come from homes characterized by physical punishment tend to be more likely to exhibit these types of behaviors.

Victims also tend to exhibit specific characteristics. They are often anxious, insecure, cautious, and have low self-esteem. Victims tend to be socially isolated, and may lack social skills and friends. Because they tend to be weaker than their peers, either physically or socially, victims rarely retaliate against bullies. Students who have close ties with their parents/guardians or who have overprotective parents/guardians are more likely to be victimized by bullies.

Resistors examples.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Multiply the resistances. Example: Two resistors in parallel, 100 and 200 ohms. 100 x 200 = 20,000

Add the resistances. Example: 100 + 200 = 300

Divide the result in Step 1 by the result in Step 2. This gives you the total resistance. Example: 20,000 / 300 = 66.7 ohms.
