Answer:

17.69 m

Explanation:

The time it takes the brick to strike the ground is 1.90 seconds.

We can apply one of Newton's equation of linear motion to find the height of the building:

s = ut + 0.5gt^2

where s = distance (in this case height)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s

t = time = 1.90 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore:

s = (0 * 1.9) + (0.5 * 9.8 * 1.9 * 1.9)

s = 0 + 17.68

s = 17.69 m

The height of the building is 17.69 m.

The situation (heat going through the ceiling) describes

heat going from one place to another by
soaking through some material.

A).  This is the one.  Heat goes from from the marshmallow
to your hand by soaking through the wire.   This is conduction too.

B).  No.  The heat in the room goes from the floor to the ceiling
because the warm air rises and carries it there.  This is convection.

C).  No.  There's nothing for the heat to soak through between
the sun and the roof, and nothing that can move from the sun
to the roof and bring the heat with it.  This is radiation.

D).  No.  Cold water sinks from the surface to the bottom because
warm water rose from the bottom to the surface, taking heat with it. 
This is convection.

It is necessary to determine the specific heat of an unknown object. The mass of the object is 201.0 g. It is determined experim
navik [9.2K]
Mass = 0.201kg
Energy = 15J
temperature change = 10C

Energy(E) = mass(m) × specific heat capacity(c) × temperature change(θ)

we can rearrange this to make specific heat capacity the subject

c =\frac{E}{m\theta}

c =\frac{15}{2.01}
c =7.46268657

A negative charge of 20 x 10-6C and another charge of 15 x 10-6C are separated by as distance of 0.7 m.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Approximately 5.5\; \rm N, assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let q_1 and q_2 denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C  and q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C.

Let r denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, r = 0.7\; \rm m.

Let k denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}.

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}.

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}.
