3. You are walking in Paris alongside the Eiffel Tower and suddenly a croissant smacks you on the head and knocks you to the gro

und. From your handy dandy tourist guidebook you find that the height of the Eiffel Tower is 300.5 m. If you neglect air resistance, calculate how many seconds the croissant dropped before it tagged you on the head.

As absurd as the concept is, we must assume that a croissant
can fall 300.5 meters through the moisture-laden, perfumed and
polluted Parisian air with no air resistance whatsoever.

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth:  9.8 m/s²

Distance in clean,
unimpeded free-fall         = (1/2) (acceleration) x (time²) 

                                            300.5 m  =  (1/2)  (9.8 m/s²) (T²)
Divide each side
by (4.9 m/s²):                  (300.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  T²

Take the square root
of each side:                     T = √(300.5/4.9) (s²)

                                                               =  7.831 seconds .

Oxana [17]

Answer:

0,93 atm

Explanation:

For this we will use PV = nRT

P is what we want to find

V = 1 L

n = \frac{8.53}{223.23} = 0,038 moles

R = 0,082 \frac{L atm}{K mole}

T = 25°C = 298,15 K

P * 1 = 0,038 *0,082 * 298,15

P = 0,93 atm

A high-speed flywheel in a motor is spinning at 500 rpm when a power failure suddenly occurs. the flywheel has mass 40.0 kg and
tangare [24]
<span>The flywheel is solid cylindrical disc. Moment of inertial = ½ * mass * radius^2 Mass = 40.0 kg Radius = ½ * 76.0 cm = 38 cm = 0.38 meter Moment of inertial = ½ * 41 * 0.36^2 Convert rpm to radians/second The distance of 1 revolution = 1 circumference = 2 * π * r The number of radians/s in 1 revolution = 2 * π 1 minute = 60 seconds 1 revolution per minute = 2 * π radians / 60 seconds = π/30 rad/s Initial angular velocity = 500 * π/30 = 16.667 * π rad/s 170 revolutions = 170 * 2 * π = 340 * π radians The flywheel’s initial angular velocity = 16.667 * π rad/s. It decelerated at the rate of 1.071 rad/s^2 for 48.89 seconds. θ = ωi * t + ½ * α * t^2 θ = 16.667 * π * 48.89 + ½ * -1.071 * 48.89^2 2559.9 - 1280 θ = 1280 radians</span>

What is the speed of a wave frequency of 300hz and a wavelength of 25M
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

7500 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the equation velocity of a wave equals wavelength times  frequency.  Therefore, v = wavelength*f = (25 m)(300 Hz) =  m/s7,500
