A cement block accidentally falls from rest from the ledge of a 52.9-m-high building. When the block is 14.3 m above the ground,
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The man has at most 0.418 secs to get out of the way

Explanation:

To determine how much time at most the man has to get out of the way, we will calculate the time it will take the block to reach height 1.94m from height 14.3m.

To do this, we will first determine the time it will take the block to reach height 1.94 m from height 52.9 m and find the time it takes the block to reach height 14.3m above the ground from the same height (52.9 m), the difference is the time the man has to get out of the way.

Now, the time it will take the block to reach height 1.94 m from height 52.9 m

This means the time it will take the block to travel a height distance of 52.9m - 1.94m = 50.96m

From one of the equations of motions for free falling bodies

h = ut + 1/2(gt²)

Where h is the height

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

and g is the acceleration due to gravity (Take g = 9.8 m/s²)

From the question, the block falls from rest

∴ u = 0 m/s

h = 50.96 m

Putting these into the equation

50.96 = 0(t) + 1/2(9.8)(t²)

50.96 = 4.9t²

t² = 50.96/4.9

t² = 10.4

t = √10.4

t = 3.225 secs

This is the time it will take to reach height 1.94m (that is to reach the man)

For the time it takes the block to reach height 14.3m above the ground from height 52.9 m

That is, the time it takes the block to travel a height distance of 52.9m - 14.3m = 38.6 m

Here,

h = 38.6 m

and u = 0 m/s

Putting these into the same equation

h = ut + 1/2(gt²)

38.6 = 0(t) + 1/2(9.8)(t²)

38.6 = 4.9t²

t² = 38.6/4.9

t² = 7.878

t = √7.878

t = 2.807 secs

This is the time it takes the block to reach height 14.3 m

Now, the difference in time is 3.225secs - 2.807 secs = 0.418 secs

Hence, the man has at most 0.418 secs to get out of the way.

Which phenomenon generates electric current?
grigory [225]
The one that does that is the photoelectric effect.  This allows the sun to hit the surface and produces enough energy for electrons to be knocked off the atom and allows a current to move.

One car has two and a half times the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their s
Leokris [45]

Answer:

v_1 = 7.96 m/s

v_2 = 17.8 m/s

Explanation:

Let the mass of the other car is "m" and its kinetic energy is

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now the mass of the first car is two and half times and its kinetic energy is half that of other car

so we will have

\frac{1}{2}(2.5m)v_1^2 = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)

2.5 v_1^2 = 0.5 v^2

v_1 = 0.447 v

now speed of both cars is increased by value of 9 m/s

so now we will have same kinetic energy for both cars

\frac{1}{2}(2.5 m)(0.447v + 9)^2 = \frac{1}{2}m(v + 9)^2

2.5(0.447 v + 9)^2 = (v + 9)^2

1.58(0.447v + 9) = v + 9

0.293v = 5.22

v = 17.8 m/s

so speed of first car is

v_1 = 0.447 v = 7.96 m/s

v_2 = 17.8 m/s
