The time in flight is
from s= 1/2 g t^2
so t = square root ((2x20)/ 9.8)
t = 2 seconds.
This means the horizontal speed was 30 m/s
Solution: The correct order is: C, A, B
The statement of the problem:
How can we prove Earth is round and calculate its circumference?
Hypotheis:
If the sun casts shadows at different angles at the same time of day in different places, we can determine how much Earth curves.
If the Earth was flat, the angle measured at different places at the same time of the day would be same.
Observation:
In Syene, the sun's rays are vertical at noon. At the same time in Alexandria, the rays are 7.2 degrees from the vertical.
(B) Away from the observer.
The closer- the higher
The farther- the lower

Complete question is;
Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing since the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveling a sidewalk metabolizes food at the rate of 800 W. (The efficiency of a person shoveling is 3%.)
(a) What is her useful power output? (b) How long will it take her to lift 3000 kg of snow 1.20 m? (This could be the amount of heavy snow on 20 m of footpath.) (c) How much waste heat transfer in kilojoules will she generate in the process?
Answer:
A) P_out = 24 W
B) t = 1470 s
C) Q = 1140.72 KJ
Explanation:
We are given;
Input Power; P_in = 800 W
Efficiency; η = 3% = 0.03
A) Formula for efficiency is;
η = P_out/P_in
Making P_out the subject, we have;
P_out = η•P_in
P_out = 0.03 × 800
P_out = 24 W
B) We know that;
Power = work done/time taken
Thus;
P_out = mgh/t
We are given;
m = 3000 kg
h = 1.20 m
Thus, time is;
t = (3000 × 9.8 × 1.2)/24
t = 1470 s
C) amount of heat wasted is calculated from;
Q = (P_in - P_out)t
Q = (800 - 24) × 1470
Q = 1,140,720 J
Q = 1140.72 KJ
