Answer:

310 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 8.0 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (8.0 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (8.0 s)²

Δy = -313.6

Rounded to two significant figures, the object fell 310 meters.

A 2.50 m length of wire is held in an east–west direction and moves horizontally to the north with a speed of 15.6 m/s. the vert
SOVA2 [1]
The electromotive force on the free electrons in the wire is given by
E=vBl
where v is the velocity, B is the field component perpendicular to the wire and l is the length of the wire.  So we get

E=15.6*40E-6*2.5m=1.56mV

Now the force that causes this to happen is given by F=q(v X B) where q is the charge on the electron which is negative.  the cross product of the velocity and magnetic field points in a direction that is westward.  Since the electrons are negative they are pushed to the east, leaving the west end of the wire with a positive charge .

A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. one of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to
Helga [31]
When the life preserver is dropped from the helicopter, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force. This modifies the equations of motion. Thus, the working equation is written below:

h = vt + 0.5gt²
where
v is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity equal to 9.81 m/s²
h is the height of the fall

h = (1.46 m/s)(1.8 s) + 0.5(9.81 m/s²)(1.8 s) 
h = 11.457 m

Of the following approximate conversions of celsius into fahrenheit, which is most accurate? a. 24°c almost-equals 75.9°f b. 2°c
Softa [21]

The most accurate among the options is 13°c almost-equals 55.0°f, when you round down 55.4, you get 55.0

Hence, option D) is the most accurate.

<h3>What is Scale of Temperature?</h3>

Scale of temperature is simply a method used in calibrating the physical quantity of temperature in metrology.

Conversion of Celsius into Fahrenheit, Formula is expressed as;

Degree = (0 × 9/5) + 32 = Fahrenheit

First we check each option;

A) 24°c almost-equals 75.9°f

24°C = (24 × 9/5) + 32 = 75.2°F

B) 2°C almost-equals 35.8°f

2°C = (2 × 9/5) + 32 = 35.6°F

C) 34°C almost-equals 92.7°f

34°C = (34 × 9/5) + 32 = 93.2°F

D) 13°c almost-equals 55.0°f

13°C = (13 × 9/5) + 32 = 55.4°F

The most accurate among the options is 13°c almost-equals 55.0°f, when you round down 55.4, you get 55.0

Hence, option D) is the most accurate.
