You drop a rock down a well that is 11.5 m deep.How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well ?

1 answer:

4 0

The acceleration of gravity depends on the distance from
the center of the Earth. We use 9.8 m/s² for any place that's
on the Earth's surface, or reasonably close. The 11.5 meters
down into the well certainly qualifies.

The formula we want is:

Distance of fall = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

      11.5 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²

Divide each side
by 4.9 m/s² : (11.5m) / (4.9 m/s²) = time²

   2.347 sec² = time²

   time = √(2.347 sec²) =   1.53 seconds .

suggest an experiment to prove that the rate of evaporation of a liquid depends on its surface area vapour already present in su

gulaghasi [49]

That's two different things it depends on:

-- surface area exposed to the air
AND
-- vapor already present in the surrounding air.

Here's what I have in mind for an experiment to show those two dependencies:

-- a closed box with a wall down the middle, separating it into two closed sections;

-- a little round hole in the east outer wall, another one in the west outer wall,
and another one in the wall between the sections;
So that if you wanted to, you could carefully stick a soda straw straight into one side,
through one section, through the wall, through the other section, and out the other wall.

-- a tiny fan that blows air through a tube into the hole in one outer wall.

Experiment A:

-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a narrow dish, with a small surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a wide dish, with a large surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
Show that the 1 ounce of water evaporated faster 
when it had more surface area.
============================================
============================================

Experiment B:

-- Again, pour 1 ounce of water into the wide dish with the large surface area.
-- Again, set the dish in the second half of the box ... the one the air passes
through just before it leaves the box.
-- This time, place another wide dish full of water in the first section of the box,
so that the air has to pass over it before it gets through the wall to the wide dish
in the second section. Now, the air that's evaporating water from the dish in the
second section already has vapor in it before it does the job.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
==========================================
Show that it took longer to evaporate when the air 
blowing over it was already loaded with vapor.
==========================================
