-- The acceleration due to gravity is 32.2 ft/sec² .  That  means that the
speed of a falling object increases by an additional 32.2 ft/sec every second.

-- If dropped from "rest" (zero initial speed), then after falling for 4 seconds,
the object's speed is (4.0) x (32.2) = <em>128.8 ft/sec</em>.

-- 128.8 ft/sec = <em>87.8 miles per hour</em>

Now we can switch over to the metric system, where the acceleration
due to gravity is typically rounded to 9.8 meters/sec² .

-- Distance = (1/2) x (acceleration) x (time)²

       D = (1/2) (9.8) x (4)² =<em>  78.4 meters</em>

-- At 32 floors per 100 meters,  78.4 meters = dropped from the <em>25th floor</em>.


The 5 points are certainly appreciated, but I do wish they were Celsius points.

An uncharged capacitor is connected to a 21-V battery until it is fully charged, after which it is disconnected from the battery
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The voltage bewtween the plates will be 9.5V

Explanation:

Facts:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor having plate area A and plate separation d is C=ϵ0A/d.  

Where ϵ0 is the permittivity of free space.  

A capacitor filled with dielectric slab of dielectric constant K, will have a new capacitance C1=ϵ0kA/d

        C1=K(ϵ0A/d)

        C1=KC   ----------- 1

Where C is the capacitance with no dielectric and C1 is the capacitance with dielectric.

The new capacitance is k times the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric slab.  

This implies that the charge storing capacity of a capacitor increases k times that of the capacitor without dielectric slab.

Given points

• The terminal voltage of the battery to which the capacitor is connected to charge V=25V

• A dielectric slab of paraffin of dielectric constant K=2  is inserted in the space between the capacitor plates after the fully charged capacitor is disconnected

The charge stored in the original capacitor Q=CV

The charge stored in the original capacitor after inserting dielectric Q1=C1V1

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy stored is constant:

i.e Charge stored in the original capacitor is same as charge stored after the dielectric is inserted.

Q   =  Q1

CV = C1V1

  CV = C1V1  -------2

We derived C1=KC from equation 1. Inserting this into equation 2

   CV = KCV1

 V1 = (CV)/KC

         V/K

       = 21/2.2

      = 9.5

To move a heavy object, like a refrigerator what could be used to help decrease the frictional force?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

A. Remove everything in the refrigerator to lighten the load.

B. Put a lubricant between the surface of the object and the floor

C. Use round objects, like pencils , to decrease the friction and push the refrigerator over the pencils more easily

Explanation:

Force of friction is a resistance force which acts between two surfaces which are in relative motion. Friction is both boon and bane. Due to friction, we are able to sit, walk etc but also, due to friction there is dissipation of energy. Friction can be reduced by applying lubricants, reducing contact area, reducing the load.

F = μN where N is the normal force which depends on the mass.

Thus, by reducing the load, force of friction can be reduced. Round objects like wheels can also be used. By this the contact area reduces.

un resorte de 10cm de longitud recibe una magnitud de fuerza que lo estira hasta medir 15cm ¿cual es la magnitud de la tension u
Ber [7]

Answer: 0.5

Explanation:

The modulus of elasticity (called <em>"alargamiento unitario"</em> in spanish) \epsilon of a spring is given by the following formula:

\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L}

Where:

L=10 cm  is the original length of the spring

\Delta L=L_{f}-L  is the elongation of the spring, being L_{f}=15 cm the length of the spring after a force is applied to it.

\epsilon=\frac{L_{f}-L}{L}=\frac{15 cm - 10 cm}{10 cm}

Then:

\epsilon=0.5
