Answer:

39.7 m

Explanation:

First, we conside only the last second of fall of the body. We can apply the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where, taking downward as positive direction:

s = 23 m is the displacement of the body

t = 1 s is the time interval considered

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration

u is the velocity of the body at the beginning of that second

Solving for u, we find:

ut=s-\frac{1}{2}at^2\\u=\frac{s}{t}-\frac{1}{2}at=\frac{23}{1}-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(1)=18.1 m/s

Now we can call this velocity that we found v,

v = 18 m/s

And we can now consider the first part of the fall, where we can apply the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2 = 2as'

where

v = 18 m/s

u = 0 (the body falls from rest)

s' is the displacement of the body before the last second

Solving for s',

s'=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{18.1^2-0}{2(9.8)}=16.7 m

Therefore, the total heigth of the building is the sum of s and s':

h = s + s' = 23 m + 16.7 m = 39.7 m

Why can’t solids flow
Annette [7]

Answer:

basically they have too much mass in them

Explanation:

They are held tightly together by strong forces of attraction. They are held in fixed positions but they do vibrate. Because the particles don't move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can't easily be compressed.

Given that a pipe having a diameter of 1.5 feet and a height of 10 feet, what is the psi at 5 feet ?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The pressure is 2.167 psi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 1.5 feet

Height = 10 feet

We need to calculate the psi at 5 feet

Using formula of pressure at a depth in a fluid

Suppose the fluid is water.

Then, the pressure is

P=\rho g h

Where, P = pressure

\rho = density

h = height

Put the value into the formula

P=1000\times9.8\times1.524

P=14935.2\ N/m^2

Pressure in psi is

P=2.166167621\ psi

P=2.167\ psi

Hence, The pressure is 2.167 psi.

What is the magnitude of the net force ∑ F on a 1.9 kg bathroom scale when a 74 kg person stands on it?
dexar [7]

Answer:

725.2‬ N

Explanation:

Since it is not stated the scale, the person or both accelerated or experience weightlessness, the net force acting on the bathroom scale is the weight of the person acting downward as the person stands on the scale .

                       Weight = mass of a body × acceleration due to gravity

                                    = 74 kg × 9.8 m/s²

                                    = 725.2‬ N

Object A and Object B have the same volume of 10 cm³. Object A has a mass of 20 grams. Object B has a mass of 50 grams. Which ob
aniked [119]

Answer:

Object B has greater density

desity A=20/10=2 g cm^-3 . density B=50/10=5 g cm^-3

the object that has greater mass has the greater density because the volume of the those two objects are same
