Answer:

The time after which the two stones meet is tₓ = 4 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The height of the building, h = 200 m

The velocity of the stone thrown from foot of the building, U = 50 m/s

Using the II equation of motion

                             S = ut + ½ gt²

Let tₓ be the time where the two stones  meet and x be the distance covered from the top of the building

The equation for the stone dropped from top of the building becomes

                            x = 0 + ½ gtₓ²

The equation for the stone thrown from the base becomes

                S - x = U tₓ - ½ gtₓ²  (∵ the motion of the stone is in opposite direction)

Adding these two equations,

                      x + (S - x) = U tₓ

                               S = U tₓ

                               200 = 50 tₓ

∴                                  tₓ = 4 s

Hence, the time after which the two stones meet is tₓ = 4 s

A 6.00 cm tall light bulb is placed a distance of 54.2 cm from a double convex lens
BigorU [14]

Answer:

1 / f = 1 / i + 1 / o       thin lens equation

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o    =    (o - f) / (o * f)

i = o * f / (o - f)

i = 54.2 * 12.7 / (54.2 - 12.7) = 16.6 cm    image distance

Image is real and inverted and 16.6 / 54.2 * 6 = 1.94 cm tall

A 75-kg sprinter accelerates from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 5.0 s. (a) calculate the mechanical work done by the sprinter d
mezya [45]

The mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time will be 4537.5 J , the average power the sprinter must generate will be 907.5 W and if the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25% then he will be burning calories at 54.20 calories per second.

Work in physics is the energy that is transferred to or from an item when a force is applied along a displacement. It is frequently described in its most basic form as the result of force and displacement.

The quantity of energy moved or transformed per unit of time is known as power in physics. The watt, or one joule per second, is the unit of power in the International System of Units.. A scalar quantity is power.

Given 75-kg sprinter accelerates from rest to a speed of 11.0 m/s in 5.0 s.

So let,

m = 75 kg

v = 11.0 m/s

t = 5.0 s

So the mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time will be as follow:

W = 0.5 mv²

W = 0.5 (75)(11)²

W = 4537.5 J

The average power the sprinter must generate will be as follow:

Power(P) = W / t

P =  4537.5/5

P = 907.5 W

Only 25% is absorbed. So, the sprinter only absorbed 226.875 J per second which is equal to 54.20 calories per second.

Hence   mechanical work done by the sprinter during this time will be 4537.5 J , the average power the sprinter must generate will be 907.5 W and if the sprinter converts food energy to mechanical energy with an efficiency of 25% then he will be burning calories at 54.20 calories per second.

A tub of water is placed in a small room and heat is removed from the room. What will most likely occur if enough heat is remove
NARA [144]

Answer:

(A)The water will freeze.

Explanation:

Heat is the energy that when transferred causes change in temperature. If heat is added to a body by some process the bodies temperature increases and if heat is removed from a body by some process the temperature reduces.

In this case if enough heat is removed from the room the internal movement of the water particles will slow down causing the water to form crystal lattice thus forming ice. So, the water will freeze.
