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  .

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by 2.8^{o}C every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is 1.60\times 10^{5}kg will require

0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s

Ammonia gas occupies a volume of 0.450 L at a pressure of 96 kPa. What
Sauron [17]

Answer:

0.426 L

Explanation:

Boyles law is expressed as p1v1=p2v2 where

P1 is first pressure, v1 is first volume

P2 is second pressure, v2 is second volume.

Given information

P1=96 kPa, v1=0.45 l

P2=101.3 kpa

Unknown is v2

Making v2 the subject from Boyle's law

v2=\frac {p1v1}{p2}

Substituting the given values then

v2=\frac {96*0.45}{101.3}=0.4264560710760l\approx 0.426 l

Therefore, the volume is approximately 0.426 L

What is the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Well, a hurricane is a storm with violent winds (more less with a force of 12 in the scale that measures winds) and it happens especially in the Caribbean sea. While a typhoon is also a strong storm but it happens especially in the Indian region and the western pacific oceans.

In conclusion, their difference is the area in which they happen.
