Answer:

The time for the rock to reach the bottom is 4.02 seconds.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the rock, m = 5 kg

height of the rock fall, h = 79 meters

The time to drop to the given height is given by;

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }$

where;

t is the time to fall to the bottom

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2*79}{9.8} }\\\\t = 4.02 \ s$

Therefore, the time for the rock to reach the bottom is 4.02 seconds.

HELP PLEASE

zubka84 [21]

So what the thermal energy equation tells you is the internal heat energy a system gives you due to the movement of particles/temperature. This heat is due to the kinetic energy in the particles. Q represents the heat transfer of a material that has a specific mass, m, specific heat, c, and some temperature or change in temperature, ΔT. For example, say you have an object of mass 1kg, specific heat 0.5J/kg°C and the temperature changes from 50°C to 100°C. To find the heat transfer you would use the equation Q= 1kg*0.5J/kg°C*(100°C-50°C). This would tell you that the heat transfer of this particle is 25J which means that 25J of energy are transferred from one point to the other in this system.

What is table salt (NaCl) formed by?

Rzqust [24]

NaCl is a compound formed by a chemical reaction between Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine). Sodium is an alkai metal in Group One of the Periodic Table, and it is very reactive. All alkai metals react violently with water and they are often found combined in nature because they are that reactive. Chlorine is a halogen in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and they are very reactive.
