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  .

What is the difference between real and apparent weightlessness?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

In space we feel weightlessness because the earth's gravity has less effect on us. The Earth's gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earth's surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the shuttle's orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

Hope this helps:)

An electron in the beam of a cathod-ray tube is accelerated by a potential difference of 2.12 kV . Then it passes through a regi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla

Explanation:

To find the velocity first we put kinetic energy og electron is equal to potential energy of electron

K.E=P.E

\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}  =e*V

where :

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

V is the potential difference

v=\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} }    eq 1

Radius of electron moving in magnetic field is given by:

R=\frac{m*v}{q*B}       eq 2

where:

m is the mass of electron

v is the velocity

q=e=charge of electron

B is the magnitude of magnetic field

Put v from eq 1 into eq 2

R=\frac{m*\sqrt{\frac{2*e*V}{m} } }{e B}

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*V}{e*R^{2} } }

B=\sqrt{\frac{2*(9.31*10^{-31})*(2.12*10^{3})  }{(1.60*10^{-19})*(0.170)^{2}  } }

B=9.1397*10^-4 Tesla
