Answer:

0.45 s.

Explanation:

From Newton's equation of motion,

s = ut + 1/2gt²........................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, t = time

Given: s = 1.0 m, u = 0 m/s (dropped from height), g = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting into equation 1,

1 = 0(t) + 1/29.81(t²)

1 = 9.81t²/2

2 = 9.81t²

t² = 2/9.81

t² = 0.204

t = √(0.204)

t = 0.45 s.

Hence it takes 0.45 s for the book to reach the elevator floor.

Answer:

Use the form of equation:

Q=mL

You have the specific latent heat of vaporization L = 2.260*10^{6}

And Q, the heat energy supplied, which equals 1695 KJ = 1695*10^{3} J

So you can get the mass by substitution in the formula below.

A bicyclist in the Tour de France crests a mountain pass as he moves at 18 km/h. At the bottom, 4.0 km farther, his speed is at
Allisa [31]

We are given:

v0 = initial velocity = 18 km/h

d = distance = 4 km

v = final velocity = 75 km/h

a =?

<span>
We can solve this problem by using the formula:</span>

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a d

 

75^2 = 18^2 + 2 (a) * 4

5625 = 324 + 8a

<span>a = 662.625 km/h^2</span>

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Thin, aluminium and buried underground.

Explanation:

When it comes to electrification of a state or province, some characteristics of the wire to use must be considered. This would help to minimize and avoid power loss and wire burns.

i. The wire to use should be thin, and a quite number can be twisted one against the other so as to increase the surface area for heat dissipation.

ii. Aluminium wire is more preferable for this project. It has a high melting point, and reduces energy loss.

iii. Burying the wire underground through an insulator is the best choice, though expensive but would preserve the wire from external influence.
