A flowerpot weighing 2 kilograms, what will be its speed at the end of 5 seconds?

1 answer:

8 0

That depends on what its speed was at the beginning of 5 seconds,
and on what exactly happened to it.

If it got pushed off of the window sill and fell to the ground below,
then the answer would depend on how high the window sill is.

If the flower pot kept falling for the whole 5 seconds, then its speed
would be <em>49 meters per second</em> at the end of the 5 seconds. That's
because here on Earth, gravity increases the speed of falling things
by 9.8 meters per second for every second they fall.

Naturally, this answer is only true if the window sill is more than
122.5 meters above the ground ... about 402 feet, or 40 floors.
If it's lower than that, then the flower pot hits the ground in less
than 5 seconds, and its speed at the end of 5 seconds is zero.

By the way ...

-- It makes no difference how much the flower pot weighs.
All objects fall with the same acceleration, and hit the ground
at the same time.

-- 5 kilograms is a mass, not a weight.

The average specific heat of the human body is 3.6 kJ/kg·°C. If the body temperature of a(n) 96-kg man rises from 37°C to 39°C d

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

691200 J

Explanation:

From specific heat capacity,

ΔQ = cmΔt.................. Equation 1

Where ΔQ = increase in thermal energy, c = specific heat capacity of the body, m = mass of the man, Δt = rise in temperature.

Given: c = 3.6 kJ/kg.°C = 3600 J/kg.°C, m = 96 kg, Δt = 39-37 = 2 °C.

Substitute into equation 1

ΔQ = 3600×96×2

ΔQ = 691200 J.

Hence the change in the thermal energy of the body = 691200 J

We need to find the launch velocity of our new marble launcher. we know that it will launch a 25g marble to a distance of 73 cm,

White raven [17]

The launch velocity of the marble launcher is 34.65 m/s

Given that the launch velocity of marble launcher, launches a 25g marble to a distance of 73 cm (0.73 m) and the marble roll up to 6.2 meters before stopping. The launch height is 20 cm (0.2 m).

The time for landing can be calculated by the second equation of motion formula:

h = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ g $t^{2}$
