Answer:

0.903 seconds

Explanation:

To find how many seconds the acorn fall, we can use the formula for distance travelled with constant acceleration:

D = Vo*t + a*t^2/2,

where D is the distance travelled, Vo is the inicial speed, t is the time and a is the acceleration.

In our problem:

Vo = 0,

a = g = 9.81 m/s2,

D = 4 meters.

So, we can solve the equation to find the time:

4 = 0*t +9.81*t^2/2

4.905*t^2 = 4

t^2 = 4/4.905 = 0.8155

t =   0.903 seconds

La estrella mas proxima a la tierra esta a 2 años de luz. Calcula esta distancia en unidades del SI
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

2\ ly=1.89\times 10^{16}\ m

Explanation:

The question says that, "The closest star to the earth is 2 light years away. Calculate this distance in SI units".

Given that,

The distance between the closest star and the Earth is 2 light years.

The SI unit of distance is m. It means we need to convert light years to meters. We know that,

1\ ly=9.461\times 10^{15}\ m

2 light-years means,

2\ ly=2\times 9.461\times 10^{15}\ m\\\\=1.89\times 10^{16}\ m

So, the required distance is equal to 1.89\times 10^{16}\ m.

A planet’s gravity is related to which of the following? (Points : 5)
katovenus [111]

-- <span>The gravitational force that you feel when you stand on the surface
of a planet depends on the planet's mass and size.  It has </span><span><span>nothing
to do with the planet's orbit.  (</span>Of course,"size" is also related to the
planet's mass, density, and surface area.)

-- One possible cause of deforestation is the removal of trees without
adequate replanting.

-- According to Hubble’s Law, the farther away a galaxy is, the faster
it is moving away from us

-- Electromagnetic energy can be defined as energy that moves at
the speed of light.  If you conduct experiments to determine whether
the electromagnetic energy is moving in the form of particles or waves,
you find that it behaves as both.</span>

I need help with this

We have here what is known as parallel combination of resistors.

Using the relation:

\frac{1}{ r_{eff} } = \frac{1}{ r_{1} } + \frac{1}{ r_{2} } + \frac{1}{ r_{3} }.. . + \frac{1}{ r_{n} } \\
And then we can turn take the inverse to get the effective resistance.

Where r is the magnitude of the resistance offered by each resistor.

In this case we have,
(every term has an mho in the end)
\frac{1}{10000} + \frac{1}{2000} + \frac{1}{1000} \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{1} ) \\ \\ = \frac{1}{1000} ( \frac{31}{20}) \\ \\ = \frac{31}{20000}

To ger effective resistance take the inverse:
we get,
\frac{20000}{31} \: ohm \\ = 645 .16 \: ohm

The potential difference is of 9V.

So the current flowing using ohm's law,

V = IR

will be, 0.0139 Amperes.

If the building absorbed so much heat that it turned into a liquid, then it would have undergone a phase change known as _____.
docker41 [41]
The building is in solid phase. Its molecules are arranged in a ver compact manner that is why it takes a definite shape and volume. When it is heated, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This is characterized by more frequent collisions. The rise in temperature causes the molecules to move rapidly by vibrating. When it reaches an amount of energy that causes the solid to change phase, this is called the latent energy. The molecules break their form and move farther away from each other until it resembles that of a liquid melting. This phase change is known as melting. The energy that must be reached to achieve melting is the latent heat of fusion.
