Imagine a raindrop starting from rest in a cloud 2 km in the air. If it fell with no air friction at all, it would accelerate to

ward the ground with gravitational acceleration of 9.8m/s2. What would the speed of the drop be when it reached the ground? Convert your answer into miles per hour.
1) 212 mph
2) 433 mph
3) 774 mph
4) 72.5 mph

Answer:

2) 433 mph

Explanation:

The final velocity of the raindrop as it reaches the ground can be found by using the equation for a uniformly accelerated motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2ad

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the raindrop starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

d = 2 km = 2000 m is the distance covered

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2gd}=\sqrt{0^2+2(9.8 m/s^2)(2000)}=198 m/s

And keeping in mind that

1 mile = 1609 metres

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed converted into miles per hour is

v=198 \frac{m}{s}\cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1609 m/mi}=433 mph

GREYUIT [131]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Uncertainty in the speed of an electron, \Delta v=3.5\times 10^3\ m/s

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle,

\Delta x.\Delta p=\dfrac{h}{4\pi}

\Delta x is the uncertainty in the position of an electron

Since, \Delta p=m\Delta v

\Delta x=\dfrac{h}{4\pi.m \Delta v}

\Delta x=\dfrac{6.6\times 10^{-34}}{4\pi\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.5\times 10^3}

\Delta x=1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m

So, the uncertainty in its position is 1.64\times 10^{-8}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Leona [35]

Average velocity is 1..2 mi/min east

Explanation:

  • Velocity = Displacement/Time

Here, displacement = 48 mi - 42 mi = 6 miles

Time = 5 minutes

⇒ Average Velocity = 6/5 = 1.2 mi/min east

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Damage to the nerves that control the diaphragm.

Explanation:

Abdominal breathing is a condition in which inferior half of the lungs can be seen relaxing or contracting and expanding with the breath. This condition occurs due to the various conditions that lead to the respiratory.

It is cause due to the damage to nerves that control the diaphragm. The phrenic nerve is one of the nerve of diaphragm initiates in the neck and passes down.

Thus, the correct answer is - Damage to the nerves that control the diaphragm.

The phrenic nerve is a nerve that originates in the neck (C3–C5) and passes down between the lung and heart to reach the diaphragm.
