It would be negative regardless of what you define as a positive direction.

A coin is dropped. What is its displacement after 0.30 s.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Assuming this coin is on earth and that it wasn’t dropped forcefully:
Use the formula d = 1/2at^2. Rewriting using a=g and solving for height h gets us h = 1/2(9.8)t^2.
In this case that would get that the change in height h is 0.5(9.8)(0.3^2) = 0.441 m.

Given that an electric field of 3×106V/m3×106V/m is required to produce an electrical spark within a volume of air, estimate the

Answer:

Length, l = 33.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrical field, $E=3\times 10^6\ V/m$

Let the electrical potential is, $V=10^8\ V$

We need to find the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt. The relation between electric field and the electric potential is given by :

$V=E\times d\\\\d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{10^8}{3\times 10^6}\\\\d=33.4\ m$

So, the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

How many times longer than the length of one year is the age of the universe?

Len [333]

No one can really tell exactly how old the universe is. However, scientists have attempted to estimate the time by using the concept of Doppler effect which depends on the frequency of the stars and their relative velocities. From literature, the universe is about 13.82 billion years old. Thus, the age of the universe is 13.82×10⁹ times longer than a year.
