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

CHECK COMPLETE QUESTION

The cube of wood having an edge dimension of 19.7cm and a density of 647kg/m3 floats on water

(a) What is the distance from the horizontal top surface of the cube to the water level answer in cm

(b) What mass of lead should be placed on the cube so that the top of the cube will be just level with the water surface answer in kg

Answer:

a)6.29cm

b)2.78 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Let us calculate the volume first, we were given dimension as 19.7cm=0.197m

Volume is (0.197 meters)³ = 0.00764m³

Then we can calculate the mass as;

Given mass is 647 kg/m³ x 0.00774m³ = 4.947kg

The weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

weight = 4.947 x 9.8 N/kg = 48.44N

By Floating we can say the the buoyancy force has to equal the weight (48.44 N) which has

which is equal to the weight of volume of the displaced water. Or the mass, the calculation is the same.

We know that density of fresh water at 20ºC is 998 kg/m³

Then we can calculate the volume of displaced water as

4.947 kg / 998 kg/m³ = 0.00496 m³

We know that the displaced water has a shape of a rectangular solid with 0.197 meters on the two horizontal dimensions, and h as the height to the surface then

V = 0.197²h = 0.00496

0.00496= 0.197²h

h = 0.1278 meters or 12.78 cm

Then the the distance exposed, would be 19.7–12.78 = 6.29 cm

b) ifthe cube is fully submerged, the volume of the displaced water is 0.00774m³

mass of displaced water is 0.00774m³ x 998 kg/m³ = 7.724 kg

Added mass is the mass of the displaced water – mass of block

= 7.724–4.947 = 2.78 kg
