Here's an interesting challenge you can give to a friend. Hold a $1 bill by the upper corner. Have a friend prepare to pinch the

lower corner, putting their fingers near but not touching the bill. Tell them to try to catch the bill when you drop it simply by closing their fingers. It seems easy but it isn't. It would take them about 0.25 seconds to react and close their fingers— which isn't fast enough to catch the bill. How much time does it take for the bill to fall beyond her grasp? The length of the bill is 16cm.

The formula for falling in gravity from rest is

D = (1/2) (g) (t)²

Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (falling time)²

Solve this for time, and you find that

Time = √(2·distance/gravity)

For this problem, distance = 16 cm, and gravity on Earth always = 9.8 m/s².

Write those numbers in, and we get

Time = √(32 cm) / (9.8 m/s²)

time = √(0.32 / 9.8) (s²)

time = 0.18 second

The whole dollar bill falls through the catcher's fingers before he can pinch.  THAT's why a person can't react fast enough to catch the falling bill.

I would say that it would take her 35 * 2 cashing Bill properly because I multiply 0.25 times 16 which gave me 1.50 + 2.50 equals 3.50

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in circular motion. It is usually directed towards the center of the rotation.

It is given by:

a = v²/r

where v is the velocity and r is the radius.

Given that the radius (r) = 4 m, velocity (v) = 0.419 m/s, hence:

a = v²/r = 0.419²/4 =  0.044 m/s²

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

945 j

Explanation:

You have just given the ball kinetic energy, which is given by the following equation:

KE= 1⁄2 m v2 = 1⁄2 (2.1 kg)(30 m/s)2 = 945 Joules

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).
