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

How many lenses with different focal lengths can be obtained by combining two surfaces whose radii of curvature are 4.00 cm and
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The lenses with different focal length are four.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of curvature R₁= 4

Radius of curvature R₂ = 8

We know ,

Refractive index of glass = 1.6

When, R₁= 4, R₂ = 8

We need to calculate the focal length of the lens

Using formula of focal length

\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{R_{2}})

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{8})

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{9}{40}

f=4.44\ cm

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = 8

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}+\dfrac{1}{8})

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{3}{40}

f=-13.33\ cm

When , R₁= 4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{8})

\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{3}{40}

f=13.33\ cm

When , R₁= -4, R₂ = -8

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.6-1)(\dfrac{1}{-4}-\dfrac{1}{8})

\dfrac{1}{f}=-\dfrac{9}{40}

f=-4.44\ cm

Hence, The lenses with different focal length are four.

For a given velocity of projection in a projectile motion, the maximum horizontal distance is possible only at ө = 45°. Substant
myrzilka [38]

First let us imagine the projectile launched at initial velocity V and at angle θ relative to the horizontal. (ignore wind resistance)

Vertical component y:

The initial vertical velocity is given as Vsinθ
The moment the projectile reaches the maximum height of h, the vertical velocity will be 0, therefore the time t taken to attain this maximum height is:

h = Vsinθ - gt
0 = Vsinθ - gt
t = (Vsinθ)/g

where g is  acceleration due to gravity

Horizontal component x:
The initial horizontal velocity is given as Vcosθ. However unlike the vertical component, this horizontal velocity remains constant because this is unaffected by gravity. The time to travel the horizontal distance D is twice the value of t times the horizontal velocity.
D = Vcosθ*[(2Vsinθ)/g] 
D = (2V²sinθ cosθ)/g 
 D = (V²sin2θ)/g

In order for D (horizontal distance) to be maximum, dD/dθ = 0
That is,

2V^2 cos2θ / g = 0
And since 2V^2/g must not be equal to zero, therefore cos(2θ) = 0
This is true when 2θ = π/2  or  θ = π/4


Therefore it is now<span> shown that the maximum horizontal travelled is attained when the launch angle is π/4 radians, or 45°.</span>

What are the units of acceleration?
Marina86 [1]

Acceleration is any change in speed or direction of motion.

The dimension of speed is [length/time],
so a change is [length/time²].

Popular units include [meter/second²] and [feet/second²] .
________________________

Direction almost always boils down to an angle, (which technically
has no dimensions), so a change in direction is  [angle/time] .

Popular units include [radian/second] and [degree/second] .

An electron in the n = 5 level of an h atom emits a photon of wavelength 1282.17 nm. to what energy level does the electron move
lions [1.4K]
This is an interesting (read tricky!) variation of Rydberg Eqn calculation.
Rydberg Eqn: 1/λ = R [1/n1^2 - 1/n2^2]
Where λ is the wavelength of the light; 1282.17 nm = 1282.17×10^-9 m
R is the Rydberg constant: R = 1.09737×10^7 m-1
n2 = 5 (emission)
Hence 1/(1282.17 ×10^-9) = 1.09737× 10^7 [1/n1^2 – 1/25^2]
Some rearranging and collecting up terms:
1 = (1282.17 ×10^-9) (1.09737× 10^7)[1/n2 -1/25]
1= 14.07[1/n^2 – 1/25]
1 =14.07/n^2 – (14.07/25)
14.07n^2 = 1 + 0.5628
n = √(14.07/1.5628) = 3
