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

Physics

Snezhnost [94]3 years ago

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 filament of a 240 V, 100 W electric lamp heats up from room temperature to its operating temperature. As it heats up, its re
Xelga [282]
We need to use the formula P = IV, where P is the power, I is the current and V is the voltage. 
When we substitute our values in, we get:
100 = 240I, and so I = 0.42 Amps
Now, we have to work out the Resistance in the circuit at the operating temperature.

We do this using the formula V = IR
240 = (100/240) x R, and we get R = 576 Ohms

Since the resistance has gone up by a factor of 16, all we have to do now is to divide this answer by 16 to get the resistance at room temperature.

576/16 = 36 Ohms

Hope I helped!! xx

describe what happens when light strikes a translucent material, transparent material , opaque material . give one specific exam
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer: according to https://www.doe.virginia.gov When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials. ... Opaque objects block light from traveling through them. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to thermal energy.

If a nichrome wire has a resistance of 15Ω and is connected across the terminals of a 3.0 V flashlight battery, how much current
scoray [572]

Answer:

0.20 A

Explanation:

The current in the wire is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

I is the current

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

In this problem,

V = 3.0 V is the voltage

R=15 \Omega is the resistance

Substituting into the formula,

I=\frac{3.0 V}{15 \Omega}=0.20 A
