This year is 60 years since I learned this stuff, and one of the things I always remembered is the formula for the distance a dropped object falls:
D = 1/2 A T²
Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time²)
The reason I never forgot it is because it's SO useful SO often. You really should memorize it. And don't bury it too deep in your toolbox ... you'll be needing it again very soon. (In fact, if you had learned it the first time you saw it, you could have solved this problem on your own today.)
The problem doesn't tell us what planet this is happening on, so let's make it easy and just assume it's on Earth. Then the 'acceleration' is Earth gravity, and that's 9.8 m/s² .
In 5 seconds:
D = 1/2 A T²
D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (5 sec)²
D = (4.9 m/s²) (25 sec²)
D = 122.5 meters
In 6 seconds:
D = 1/2 A T²
D = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (6 sec)²
D = (4.9 m/s²) (36 sec²)
D = 176 meters
Milk, apples, and beans don't have much carbohydrate. So if you
cut down on those, you don't really cut down much on carbohydrates.
If Rachel needs to reduce her intake of carbohydrates, she should
cut down on bread. (Also cake, sugar, corn, pasta, and potatoes.)
With the switch open, there's no current in the circuit, and therefore
no voltage drop across any of the dissipative elements (the resistor
or the battery's internal impedance). So the entire battery voltage
appears across the switch, and the voltmeter reads 12.0V .
'Pressure' is (force) / (area).
The only choice with those units is #1 .
