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.

Mg or your weight.

Explanation:

When your velocity is constant, the net force acting on you is 0. That means the upwards force of air resistance must fully balance the downwards force of gravity on you, which is Mg.

Oliga [24]

Say you have 60 cubic meters of an ideal gas at a pressure of 200 pascals. You heat the gas until it expands to a volume of 120 cubic meters. How much work does the gas do? All you have to do is plug in the numbers:

The gas does 12,000 joules of work as it expands under constant pressure.
