Answer:

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground or moving down

Explanation:

Vf² - Vo² = 2gS

where

Vf = velocity of clay as it hits the ground

Vo = initial velocity of clay = 0

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2 (constant)

S = distance travelled by clay = 15 m

Substituting appropriate values,

Vf² - 0 = 2(9.8)(15)  

Vf = 17.15 m/sec.

Formula to use is,  

V - Vf = aT

where

V = velocity of clay when it stops = 0

Vf = 17.15 m/sec (as determined above)

a = acceleration

T = 20 ms  

Put the values to find acceleration

a=(V-Vf)/T

a=(0-17.15)/20

a= -0.86 m/s²

The negative sign shows that ball down the ground

To cook food, a microwave oven converts electrical energy intoenergy A) electromagnetic B) heat C) mechanical D) nuclear
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

To cook food, a microwave oven converts electrical energy into electromagnetic energy. (A)  Specifically, it pours high-power RADIO waves into the box.

Water molecules and fat molecules resonate (jiggle) with the radio waves, and the heat is generated IN THE FOOD.

I work with microwave radios.  

-- To communicate high-speed data over a distance of 5 to 10 miles, we use a radio transmitter with a power output of 0.07 watt .

-- To communicate high-speed data over distances up to 80 miles, we use a radio transmitter with a power output of 1 to 2 watts.

-- To heat up a chunk of leftover meatloaf, a microwave oven pumps radio waves into the box with a power output of 1200 to 1500 watts ! !

The stove is the independent variable in this question as it does not depend on anything like other variables such as pot, water, temperature and of cause pasta.

The pot depends on the stove, the water depends on the pot and stove, the pasta depends on the water and its temperature.

Cheers.
