Here's a formula for the distance an object falls from rest:

D = (1/2) A T² ... <== MEMORIZE THIS

Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time²)

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is always 9.8 m/s².  So for a fall that starts with zero speed, the formula says

70 m = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time²)

70 m = (4.9 m/s²) (time²)

Divide each side by  (4.9 m/s²) ;

time² = (70 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

time² = (70/4.9) sec²

time = √(70/4.9)  seconds

time = 3.78 seconds

Vinvika [58]

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that are composed of electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the propagation. All electromagnetic waves have the same speed.

That is, 3×10⁸ m/s.

X-ray is one of the electromagnetic waves. So are light, gamma rays, and radio waves.

Thus the speed of all these waves is equal.

Thus, the correct answer is option C, "Same as speed of radio waves"

Draw the vector C⃗ =1.5A⃗ −3B⃗ .
hammer [34]
If A is the measurement in the x-axis and B is the direction in the y-direction,

Magnitude = √(1.5² + (-3)²)
Magnitude = 3.35 units

Direction:
tan∅ = y/x
tan∅ = 3/1.5
∅ = 63.4°
Tan is negative in the second and fourth quadrants, and the values of x and y indicate that it is in the fourth quadrant. Therefore, the direction is 63.4° below the positive x-axis.

A monatomic ideal gas initially fills a container of volume V = 0.25 m3 at an initial pressure of P = 250 kPa and temperature T
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

number of moles = 27.34 moles

the temperature of gas after it undergoes the isobaric expansion = 605 K

Explanation:

Given that:

V = 0.25 m³

P = 250 kPa

T = 275 K

V₂ = 0.55 m³

P₂ = 760 kPa

a)

Using ideal gas equation ; PV = nRT

n = \frac{PV}{RT}\\\\n =  \frac{250*10^3*0.25}{8.314*275}\\\\n = \frac{62500}{2286.35}\\\\n = 27.34 \ moles

b) To calculate the temperature of gas after it undergoes the isobaric expansion; we have:

  1. \frac{V_1}{T_1}= \frac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\\frac{0.25}{275}= \frac{0.55}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\frac{0.55*275}{0.25}\\\\T_2 = 605 K

How does urban planning impact land?
pochemuha

Answer:

Ensures land is used for its designated purposes hence avoiding misuse of land.

Explanation:

The process of urban planning ensures that different land uses are shown such as commercial, residential, public land, forestry and agricultural and institutional lands. This process helps in designing for essential services such as roads, sewarage and water, gas and electricity. In the process, encroachment is controlled and land utilized as planned. Therefore, land is properly utilized while minimizing environmental pollution, leading to sustainable development.

What does it mean to say that the average speed of a car is 35 miles per hour?
LenKa [72]
It means that the car has covered

(35 miles) x (the number of hours since it started traveling).

At some points during that time, the car was most likely moving
faster or slower than 35 miles per hour.  We don't know.  We only
know that it covered  (35 miles) x (the number of hours since it left).
