Answer:

1.59 seconds

12.3 meters

but if you are wise you will read the entire answer.

Explanation:

This is a good question -- if not a bit unusual. You should try and understand the details. It will come in handy.

Time

<u>Given</u>

a = 0 This is the critical point. There is no horizontal acceleration.

d = 20 m

v = 12.6 m/s

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi * t + 1/2at^2

<u>Solution</u>

Since the acceleration is 0, the formula reduces to

d = vi * t

20 = 12.6 * t

t = 20 / 12.6

t = 1.59 seconds.

It takes 1.59 seconds to hit the ground

Height of the building

<u>Givens</u>

t = 1.59 sec

vi = 0     Another critical point. The beginning speed vertically is 0

a = 9.8 m/s^2   The acceleration is vertical.

<u>Formula</u>

d = vi*t + 1/2 a t^2

<u>Solution</u>

d = 1/2 a*t^2

d = 1/2 * 9.8 * 1.59^2

d = 12.3 meters.

The two vi's are not to be confused. The horizontal vi is a number other other 0 (in this case 12.6 m/s horizontally)

The other vi is a vertical speed. It is 0.

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

(iv), (v), (vi) would be incorrect.

Explanation:

(iv) Force isn't transferred from one colliding object to another, but momentum can be.

(v) An object doesn't stop immediately a force stops acting on it. Think of a thrown ball.

(vi) For an object not to move, it means that the net force on the object is zero, and not necessarily that there are no forces acting on the object. For example, an object could be pushed on one side, and be pushed on the other side with an equal force in the opposite direction. The forces would cancel each other and the net force would be zero.

The rest should be correct.

Question I. SUHU ULT
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Feathers are great thermal insulators.

Explanation:

Feathers are great thermal insulators. The loose structure of down feathers traps air.

As a result, energy cannot be transmitted easily through down feathers. This means birds are insulated from cold air outside, plus their body heat doesn't escape easily either.

Human beings discovered that down feathers are good for insulation long ago. For example, documents from the 1600s show that Russian merchants sold “bird down" to the Dutch hundreds of years ago.

Today, down is used in all sorts of products, including coats, bedding, and sleeping bags, to help better insulate the user from cold weather. Down can be collected from many different types of birds, but most of today's supply comes from domestic geese.

If you have a down coat or comforter, is it all down? In the United States, laws require that products labeled “100 percent down" contain only down feathers.

If your product is labeled “down," it can contain a mixture of both down feathers and synthetic fibers. Not all down feathers are created equal, though.

Down insulation is rated on a measure called “fill power." The higher the fill power, the more the down insulates.

The highest fill-power rating — 1200 — goes to eiderdown, which comes from the Common Eider duck. Eiderdown tends to be expensive.
