100cm to go in 600 secs = 10mins

Answer:

600 seconds.

Explanation:

A caterpillar climbs up a one meter (100 cm) wall.

For every 2 cm caterpillar climbs up and slides down 1 cm.

That means caterpillar climbs up = 2 - 1 = 1 cm

Caterpillar reaches to the top in 10 minutes. We have to calculate the time in seconds.

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, 10 minutes = 10×60 = 600 seconds

Time involved for the caterpillar to climb to the top will be 600 seconds.

When you boil potatoes, will your cooking time be reduced with vigorously boiling water instead of gently boiling water? (Direct
lara [203]

Answer:

The cooling time will not be reduced.

Explanation:

The time to cook is virtually the same in both types, vigorously and gently boiling water.

The reason cooking of spaghetti  calls for vigorously boiling water is to keep the pasta agitated so that they do not stick to one another.

The temperature of boiling water is the same for both vigorously boiling water and gently boiling water, therefore there will be little time difference in when the potatoes will cook when it is done with vigorously boiling water than when it is cooked with gently boiling water.

However cooking potatoes in vigorously boiling water may cause the water to dry up on time and the potatoes get burnt.

Superman is supposed to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Suppose that he obeys the normal laws of physics in this feat. Es
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

31.32 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Let us assume the height of the Disque hall is 50 m

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -9.81\times 50}\\\Rightarrow u=31.32\ m/s

In order to make the jump Superman's initial velocity must be greater than or equal to 31.32 m/s
