Measure Your Reaction Time Here's something you can try at home-an experiment to measure your reaction time. Have a friend hold

a ruler by one end, letting the other end hang down vertically. At the lower end, hold your thumb and index finger on either side of the ruler, ready to grip it. Have your friend release the ruler without warning. Catch it as quickly as you can.If you catch the ruler 5.7 cm from the lower end, what is your reaction time?
Express your answer using two significant figures.

Answer:

Explanation:

I catch the ruler 5.7 cm from lower end that means my reaction time is equal to time of fall of ruler as free fall under gravity .

h = 1/2 gt²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times 5.7}{9.8} }

= 1.078 s

= 1.1 s .

At what time of year is the intensity of solar radiation striking each of earth's hemispheres weakest?
bagirrra123 [75]
<span>During winter for a given hemisphere, solar radiation reaches the lowest period of its annual cycle due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. As the earth rotates around the sun, this tilt occludes a portion of the energy released by the sun as it diffuses in the atmosphere.</span>

Platinum has a density of 21.4 g/cm3. if thieves were to steal platinum from a bank using a small truck with a maximum payload o
slega [8]
We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb. 
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3 
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3 
= 19076.6 cm^3  

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.
