" 20 m/s² " means that if gravity is the ONLY force on the object
(the object is in 'free fall'), then its speed increases by 20 m/s
every second.
That's the answer to your question. Now, let me ask you
another one:
How does a speedometer tied to a falling rock work ?
How can it measure the rock's speed ?
Maybe one way would be to have a little tiny propeller on
the front of the speedometer, and it could measure how fast
the propeller is spinning as the rock falls through the air ?
Great idea. But we already said the rock is in free-fall,
so there's no air resistance, we can't have any air, and
there's nothing to spin the propeller.
How would you do it ? How can you measure the rock's speed ?
It exchanges the cations or the anions of two ionic compounds.
Answer:
t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years
Explanation:
First we need to find the amount of energy that Sun produce in one day.
Energy = Power * Time
Energy of Sun in 1 day = (3.839 x 10²⁶ W)(1 day)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)
Energy of Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J
Now, the time required by the nuclear power generator, in years, will be:
Energy of power generator = Energy Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J
3.32 x 10³¹ J = Power * Time
3.32 x 10³¹ J = (3.937 x 10⁹ W)(t years)(365 days/1 year)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)
t = 3.32 x 10³¹ /1.24 x 10¹⁷
<u>t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years</u>
Answer:
Because in higher altitudes atmospheric pressure is low
