Answer:

48.26 m

Explanation:

time to goes up (till stop for a while in the air - maximum height)

vt = vo + a t

0 = 15 + g . t

0 = 15 + (-9.8) . t

9.8t = 15

t = 1.531 s

so the time left to goes down is

4.0 - 1.531 = 2.469 s

height from the top of building can find it by using

vo =√(2gh)

15 = √(2)(9.8).h

15² = 19.6h

h = 225/19.6 = 11.48 m

so the distance of maximum height to the ground is

t = √(2H/g)

2.469 = √(2H/9.8)

2.469² = 2H/9.8

6.096 = 2H/9.8

2H = 6.096 x 9.8 = 59.74 m

so the vertical distance of the building (or the building height's is)

H - h = 59.74 - 11.48 = 48.26 m

How do we know the sun rotate
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

From the movement of sunspots, Galileo discovered that sun rotate s on its own axis.

Explanation:

All the sunspots are traveling across the Sun's head. This movement is part of the Sun's general rotation of its axis. Observations also suggest that the Sun does not rotate like a solid body, but rotates differently because it is a gas. Actually the Sun is spinning faster at its equator than at at its poles. The Sun rotates once every 24 days at its equator, but only once every 35 days at its poles. We learn this by observing the movement of sunspots and other solar features pass through the Sun.

Use the given data to calculate the total mass of hydrogen available for fusion over the lifetime of the sun.
pogonyaev
Total mass of the Sun = 2x10^30kg 

<span>So 76% of that = (2x10^30kg)*(0.76) = 1.52x10^30kg ----> total amount of Hydrogen i</span><span>f only 12% of that is used for fusion, then (1.52x10^30kg)*(0.12) = 1.82x10^9kg</span>
