The book's vertical position in the air is

y=78.4\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2

where g=9.80\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}. It reaches the ground when y=0, at a time t such that

0=78.4\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2\implies t=4.00\,\mathrm s

So it takes the book 4 seconds to reach the bottom. The given initial velocity is irrelevant since it only has a horizontal component; vertically, the book is starting from rest.

The astronaut's mass doesn't change.  It's the same wherever he goes,
because it doesn't depend on what else is around him.

His weight depends on what else is near him, so it changes, depending
on where he is.

         Weight  =  (mass) x (gravity)

On Earth,  Weight = (145 kg) x (9.81 m/s²)  =  1,422.5 newtons.
                                                               (about 320 pounds)

On the moon, Weight = (145 kg) x (1.62 m/s²)  =  234.9 newtons.
                                                                   (about 53 pounds)

How much would it cost to cover the entire land area of the U.S. in dollar bills?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

  $900 trillion

Explanation:

If Alaska is 20% of the contiguous US, then the approximate area of interest is ...

  1200 miles × 3000 miles = 3.6×10^6 square miles.

The size of a dollar bill is about ...

  (6.5 cm)·(15.5 cm) = 100.75 cm^2

One mile is 160,934.4 cm, so 1 square mile is about ...

  1 mi^2 = (160,934.4 cm)^2 ≈ 2.59·10^10 cm^2

The number of dollars of interest is then ...

  (3.6 · 10^6 mi^2)(2.59 · 10^10 cm^2)/(100.75 cm^2) ≈ 9.3·10^14

  ≈ 930 × 10^12 . . . dollars

It would cost about 900 trillion dollars to cover the land area of the US in $1 bills.
