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> .

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.

A particle is confined to the x-axis between x = 0 and x = 1 nm. The potential energy U = 0 inside this region and U is infinite

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to heisenberg uncertainty Principle

Δx Δp ≥ h / 4π , where Δx is uncertainty in position , Δp is uncertainty in momentum .

Given

Δx = 1 nm

Δp ≥ h /1nm x 4π

≥ 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 10⁻⁹ x 4 π

≥ . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

h / λ ≥ . 5254 x ⁻²⁵

6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ /. 5254 x ⁻²⁵ ≥ λ

12.56 x 10⁻⁹ ≥ λ

1 kg air in a piston-cylinder assembly is heated at constant pressure, resulting the expansion of the volume. the initial temper

rewona [7]

Answer:

57,42 KJ

Explanation:

By a isobaric proces, the expresion for the works in the jpg adjunt. Then:

W = Pa(Vb - Va) = Pa*Vb - Pa*Va ---(1)

By the ideal gases law: PV=RTn

Then, in (1): (remember Pa = Pb)

W = R*Tb*n - R*T*an = R*n*(Tb - Ta) --- (2)

Since we have 1 Kg air: How much is this in moles?

From bibliography: 28.96 g/mol

Then, in 1 Kg (1000 g) there are:

n = 34,53 mol

Finally, in (2):

W = (8,3144 J/K.mol)*(34,53 mol)*(500K - 300K) = 51 419,9 J ≈ 57,42 KJ
