The rider's horizontal motion, and how much ground he covers before he hits it, have nothing to do with how long he takes to hit the ground.  The problem is simply:  "How long does it take an object to fall 1.12 m from rest ?"

This seems like a good time to use this formula:

Distance fallen from rest = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)²

The problem doesn't tell us what planet the skateboarder is exercising  on. I'm going to assume it's on Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².  And now, here's the solution to the problem I just invented:

1.12 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²

Time²  = (1.12 m) / (9.8 m/s²)

Time²  = 0.1143 sec²

Time = √(0.1143 sec² )

<em>Time = 0.34 second</em>

Which produces more energy:
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) uranium

b) deuterium

Explanation:

For the first question, you can actually know this by simple logic. The nucleus of Ucranium, has more energy than a pair of deuterium. Ucranium has a mass number and atomic mass higher than deuterium, therefore, when you do a fission with ucranium in it's nucleous, this would be in energy higher than the deuterium.

However, in terms of mass only, the fissioning of 1 gram of Deuterium will produce more energy than 1 gram of uranium, basically because deuterium is lighter and has a lower molecular weight than ucranium. This means that because of this lower molecular weight, in 1 gram of deuterium will contain more number of atoms than in 1 g of uranium. The interaction with these atoms, will produce more energy than the energy produced by uranium.

Calcium has a charge of +2. The chart lists the charges of different ions.
dexar [7]
The possible resulting chemical formulas for an ionic compound with calcium given the respective charges of the ions are: CaO, CaMg, or CaF₂ and CaO, CaF₂, or CaCl₂. This is because when dealing with these compounds, you simply need to interchange the oxidation state of the two elements and place as the subscript of the element. For instance, when we have Ca²⁺ and F⁻, the result is CaF₂. However, when the oxidation states of the two compounds are equal, the subscript is 1. That is, for Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁻, the result is CaMg. And for Ca²⁺ and Cl⁻, the result is CaCl₂.

Minchanka [31]

1 N = 1kgm/s²

then,

1Ns = 1kgm/s² * s

1Ns = 1kgm/s

Hence shown.
