During a hurricane in 2008, the Westin Hotel in downtownNew Orleans suffered damage. Suppose a piece of glass dropped near the t

op of the hotel falling from the 300 meter building takes 6.62 s. Ignoring air resistance, what will the velocity of the piece of glass be when it strikes the ground?

Answer:

  • <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

  • Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

  • Average speed = distance / time

Then:

  • (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

  • Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

  • Vf + Vi = 90.634      equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

  • Vf - Vi = 64.876     equation 2

Adding the two equations:

  • 2Vf = 155.510

  • Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)

As gravity continues to crush the inner core, the fusion of carbon and oxygen begins. What temperature is needed for the fusion
Olin [163]

Answer:

600,000,000 degree C

Explanation:

This stage is the last stage and is refereed to as supernova. In the beginning of this stage, gravity pulls the inner core and crush it, due to which fusion of atoms starts. Carbon and Oxygen fuse together and the temperature is about of 600,000,000 degree C.

The most heavier atom that can be formed out of this fusion is the iron. The moment all the atoms becomes of iron, no further fusion is possible hence that body emits radiation of high intensity and collapse causing a big supernova.
