Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running

start and jumps with an initial horizontal velocity of 25 m/s. Neither person experiences any significant air resistance. Compare the time it takes each of them to reach the lake below.

Answer:

Since both start with the same vertical velocity from the same position with the same acceleration they will reach the lake at the same time.

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

88 %

Explanation:

The rate of heat loss by a conducting material of thermal conductivity K, cross-sectional area,A and thickness d with a temperature gradient ΔT is given by

P = KAΔT/d

The total heat lost by the styrofoam wall is P₁ = K₁A₁ΔT₁/d₁ where K₁ =thermal conductivity of styrofoam wall 0.033 W/m-K, A₁ = area of styrofoam wall = 17 m², ΔT₁ = temperature gradient between inside and outside of the wall and d₁ = thickness of styrofoam wall = 0.20 m

The total heat lost by the glass window is P₂ = K₂A₂ΔT₂/d₂ where K₂ =thermal conductivity of glass window pane wall 0.96 W/m-K, A₂ = area of glass window pane = 0.15 m², ΔT₂ = temperature gradient between inside and outside of the window and d₂ = thickness of glass window pane = 7 mm = 0.007 m

The total heat lost is P = P₁ + P₂ = K₁A₁ΔT₁/d₁ + K₂A₂ΔT₂/d₂

Now, since the temperatures of both inside and outside of both window and wall are the same, ΔT₁ = ΔT₂ = ΔT

So, P = K₁A₁ΔT/d₁ + K₂A₂ΔT/d₂

Since P₂ = K₂A₂ΔT₂/d₂ = K₂A₂ΔT/d₂is the heat lost by the window, the fraction of the heat lost by the window from the total heat lost is

P₂/P = K₂A₂ΔT/d₂ ÷ (K₁A₁ΔT/d₁ + K₂A₂ΔT/d₂)

= 1/(K₁A₁ΔT/d₁÷K₂A₂ΔT/d₂ + 1)

= 1/(K₁A₁d₂÷K₂A₂d₁ + 1)

= 1/[(0.033 W/m-K × 17 m² × 0.007 m ÷ 0.96 W/m-K × 0.15 m² × 0.20 m) + 1]

= 1/(0.003927/0.0288 + 1)

= 1/(0.1364 + 1)

= 1/1.1364

= 0.88.

The percentage is thus P₂/P × 100 % = 0.88 × 100 % = 88 %

The percentage of heat lost by window of the total heat is 88 %

The charges on the proton and electron are typically measured in: Select the correct answer below: volts amperes coulombs dalton
malfutka [58]

Answer: columbs

Explanation:

Electrical charge are measured in columbs, usually demoted as C. Hence, the charges on proton and electron will be measured in Coloumbs. It typically measures the amount of electricity conveyed per second by a current of 1 ampere. The other units Given such as ; Volt is used for measuring voltage, which is the pressure in an electrical source. AMPERE is used for measuring the current flowing through an electrical circuit.

Dalton is a unit of mass and is about 1.660 * 10^-27 kg
