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

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 atomic number, or ________ number, is the described as the number of _________ in the nucleus of an chemical element.
Leto [7]
The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. It is identical to the charge number of the nucleus. The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

When measuring espresso for a drink, which instrument would give the<br> greatest precision?
Gemiola [76]

How many mL is an espresso?

One shot of espresso is generally about 30–50 ml (1–1.75 oz), and contains about 63 mg of caffeine (3). Important point: The “golden ratio” for espresso is this: a single shot is 30 to 44 mL (1 to 1.5 ounces) of water and 7 grams of coffee

1.A river flowing steadily at a rate of 240 m3/s is considered for hydroelectric power generation. It is determined that a dam c
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW

Explanation:

Given that;

Volume flow rate of river v = 240 m³/s

Height above the lake surface a h = 50 m

Amount of power can be generated from this river water after the dam is filled = ?

Now the collected water in the dam contains potential energy which is used for the power generation,

hence, total mechanical energy is due to potential energy alone.

E_{mech} = m(gh)

first we determine the mass flow rate of the fluid m

m = p×v

where p is density ( 1000 kg/m³

so we substitute

m = 1000kg/m³ × 240 m³/s

m = 240000 kg/s

so we plug in our values into ( E_{mech} = m(gh) kJ/kg )

E_{mech} = 240000 × 9.8 × 50

E_{mech} = 117600000 W

E_{mech} = 117.6 MW

Therefore, the power that can be generated by the river is 117.6 MW
