The horizontal speed has no effect on the answer. 

It doesn't matter whether you flick a marble horizontally from the roof,
fire a high-power rifle horizontally from the roof, drive a school bus straight
off the roof, or drop a bowling ball from the roof with zero horizontal speed. 
Their vertical speed is completely determined by gravity, (and it happens to
be the same for all of them).

Handy dandy formula for the distance covered by anything that starts out
with zero speed and accelerates to the end:

            Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) x (time)²

If the beginning of the journey is on Earth, then the acceleration is
9.8 m/s² ... the acceleration of gravity on Earth.  We'll assume that
the 55-meter rooftop in the question is part of a building on Earth.

                       55 meters  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) x (time)²           

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :            55 m / 4.9 m/s²  =  (time)²

                                 (time)²  =  (55/4.9)  sec²

Square-root
each side:                time  =  √(55/4.9 sec²)

                                           =      3.35 sec  .

Which device uses a rotating magnetic field to produce an electric current?
Kay [80]
<span>The correct answer is C) a motor.
In particular, we are talking about an AC motor, which produces an alternating current. In an AC motor, a coil is immersed in a rotating magnetic field. Due to the motion of the magnetic field,the angle between the direction of the field and the surface enclosed by the coil changes. As a result, the magnetic flux through the coil changes over time (the magnetic flux is given by:
</span>\phi=BAcos\theta<span>
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field, A is the area enclosed by the coil and </span>\theta<span> is the angle between the direction of B and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil). For Faraday-Newmann-Lenz law, this change in flux induces an electromotive force (emf) into the coil, according to:
</span>emf=- \frac{d \Phi}{dt}<span>
 where the numerator is the variation of magnetic flux and dt is the time interval. This emf in the coil produced an electrical current in the circuit.</span>

Identify three situations in which convection occurs.
Minchanka [31]
A boiling pot of water (the water travels in a current throughout the pot), a hot air balloon (hot air rises, making the balloon rise) , and cup of a steaming, hot liquid (hot air rises, creating steam) are all situations where convection occurs.
