If a freely falling rock were equipped with a speedometer, by how much would itd speed readings increase with each second if it

were on a planet wreg=20m/s2?

" 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 ?

A hot water heater is operated by using solar power. if the solar collector has an area of 5.3 m2 , and the power delivered by s
OLEGan [10]
Heat absorbed by the solar collector = Area*Irradiance = 5.3*995 = 5273.5 W

Heat Q in joules absorbed in t hours = Heat used to heat water. That is,

5273.5*t = mCΔT; where mass = volume*density = 1*1000 = 1000 kg

Therefore;
5273.5t = 1000*4186*(65-20) = 188370000
t = 188370000/5273.5 = 35720.11 seconds = 35720.11/(60*60) hours ≈ 9.92 hours.

It will take approximately 9.92 hours.

The motor of a washing machine rotates with a period of 28 ms. What is the angular speed, in units of rad/s?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

2π/[28 x (10^-3)]

Explanation:

Angular speed : ω=2π/T

T = 28ms = 28 x (10^-3) s

Angular speed = 2π/[28 x (10^-3)]

A step-up transformer is connected to a generator that is delivering 141 V and 110 A. The ratio of the turns on the secondary to
hammer [34]

Answer:

31302 Volts and 55/111 Amps (≈0.5)

Explanation:

Secondary voltage / 141 = 1110 / 5

Secondary voltage = (1110*141) / 5

Secondary voltage = 31302

Amperage = 110/ (31302/141) = 55/111
