Falling objects drop with an average acceleration of -9.8 m/s2. If an object falls from rest from a tall building, how long will

it take before it reaches a speed of -49 m/s?

Answer:

It will take t = 5 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics, it is important to make it clear that when the object is dropped, its initial velocity is zero.

Let's take all the signs of the equation as positive, since the object falls in the direction of motion.

v_{f} =v_{o} +(g*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 49 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time [s]

49 = 0 + 9.81*t

t = 49/9.81

t = 5 [s]

What is the application of a spherometer in the medical field?​
Anton [14]

Answer:

To correct the defects of vision by measuring the radius of curvature and thus the power of the lenses.

Explanation:

A spherometer is an instrument used to measure the curvature of objects such as lenses and curved mirrors.

Generally it consists of a fine screw which is moving in a nut carried on the center of a 3 small legged table or frame. The feet forms the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The lower end of the screw and those of the table legs are finely tapered and terminate in hemispheres.

If the screw has two turns of the thread to the milli meter the head is generally divided into 50 equal parts, so that differences of 0.01 millimeter may be measured without using a vernier scale.

The spherometer is used to measure the radius of curvature of the lenses so that the opthalmologist find the focal length of the lens and then give the  power to the lens to correct the defects of vision.

Explain how if a solid, liquid, and gas are put into individual containers how they fill the container.
Sav [38]

Answer:

serial in which container is filled

Solid -base of container

Liquid- above solid

Gas- above liquid

Explanation:

If any mixture of  matter in different state (that solid , liquid or gas )are kept in any container, then substance with higher density will be settled at lowest surface first and similarly the substance with lowest density will be at upper part of container.

In the given container we have to keep solid, liquid and gas

  • sold has the highest density,
  • gas the lowest density and
  • liquid has the density higher than gas but less than solid.

based on this

solid will be at surface of container

above sold will be liquid

above liquid will be presence of Gas

serial in which container is filled

Solid -base of container

Liquid- above solid

Gas- above liquid

makkiz [27]
Some guidance notes which may help.To calculate the current flow, Ohm's law can be used. This can be written as current=voltage/resistance, or I=V/R. V is 1.5V.R for the copper wire quoted would be calculated as R = resistivity x length/cross sectional area. The area would be calculated from the formula area = pi x diameter squared/4So, R=resistivity x length divided by (pi x diameter squared/4)Until is the resistivity of copper is known, that's about as far as can be gone.Any further questions, please ask.
