1) 5 s

The vertical position of the object is given by

y(t) = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2 =  400 - 16 t^2

where

h=400 ft represents the initial height

g = 32 ft/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

We want to find the time t at which the object reaches the ground, so the time t at which

y(t) = 0

By substituting this into the equation, we find

0 = 400 - 16t^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{400}{16}}=5 s

2) 160 ft/s

The object is released from rest, so the initial velocity is zero

u = 0

The final vertical velocity can be found by using

v^2 - u^2 = 2ah

where

v is the final velocity

a = 32 ft/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 400 ft is the vertical distance covered

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2ay}=\sqrt{2(32 ft/s)(400 ft)}=160 ft/s

A simple electric motor consists of a 220-turn coil, 4.4 cm in diameter, mounted between the poles of a magnet that produces a 9
Verdich [7]

Answer:

M = 5.01\ A.m^2          

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns in the coil, N = 220

Diameter of the coil, d = 4.4 cm

Radius of the coil, r = 2.2 cm = 0.022 m

Magnetic field produced by the poles of magnet, B=96\ mT=96\times 10^{-3}\ T

Current flowing in the coil, I = 15 A

Let M is the coil's magnetic dipole moment. Its formula is given by :

M=N\times I\times A

M=220\times 15\times \pi (0.022)^2

M = 5.01\ A.m^2

So, the coil's magnetic dipole moment is 5.01\ A.m^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which important safety measures should be taken during a hurricane? Select two options.
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

1) move away from the windows.

When abrupt changes in pressure (produced by the hurricane) affect the windows, they can "explode" and be a serious danger for the people.

2) Go to the lowest level of the building.

Is safer than the upper levels because the lower levels suffer less from the strength of the hurricane (being closer to the ground increases the structural resistance), make sure that you have everything you may need in case of an emergency.
