His average speed all the way is

                   (50 meters) / (5 sec)  =  10 m/s .

But, if the acceleration is uniform all the way down, then

            Average speed  =  (1/2) (start speed + end speed)

Start speed  =  0.
So
             Average speed  =  (1/2) (0 + end speed)

                                     =  (1/2) of end speed .

                   10 m/s        = (1/2) of end speed

               End speed (at the bottom)  =  20 m/s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

                                      =     (20 m/s)            /    (5 sec)

                                       =                4 m/s²  .

Question 6
Margaret [11]

Limestone and dolomite are the rocks present in the locations which leads to the formation of caves.

<h2>Formation of caves</h2>

The type of rocks that once existed in these  locations are limestone and dolomite whereas the pH of the nearby groundwater is slightly acidic which is responsible for the formation of caves. Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone due to acid rain.

<h3>Acid rain</h3>

Rainwater reacts with carbon dioxide from the air and percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone which become turn to form caves so we can conclude that Limestone and dolomite are the rocks present in the locations which leads to the formation of caves.

As a rock sinks deeper and deeper into water of constant density, what happens to the buoyant force on it? As a rock sinks deepe
Sidana [21]

Answer:

It remains constant

Explanation:

As we know that buoyant force on an object given as

Fb = ρ Vd g

ρ= Density of fluid

Vd=Volume displace by body

g=10 m/s²

Fb =buoyant force

So from above we can say that buoyant force does not depends on the depth. It only depends on the fluid density and volume displace by body.

So when rock gets deeper and deeper the buoyant force will remain constant.

It remains constant

The brick wall (of thermal conductivity 0.35 W/m ·◦ C) of a building has dimensions of 2.7 m by 6 m and is 16 cm thick. How much
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Q = 54.577\,MJ

Explanation:

The heat transfer through brick wall is:

\dot Q = \frac{k\cdot A}{L}\cdot \Delta T

\dot Q = \frac{\left(0.35\,\frac{W}{m\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (2.7\,m)\cdot (6\,m)}{0.16\,m} \cdot (31^{\circ}C - 8^{\circ}C)

\dot Q = 815.063\,W

The heat flow in a 18.6-h period is:

Q = \dot Q \cdot \Delta t

Q = (815.063\,W)\cdot (18.6\,h)\cdot \left(\frac{3600\,s}{1\,h} \right)

Q = 54576618.48\,J

Q = 54.577\,MJ
