An egg is thrown upward with a velocity of 4.5 m/s. How long will it take to reach it's maximum height?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

0.45 seconds

Explanation:

Letting the value of g = 10 m/s/s

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (since the egg will come to rest at the maximum height)

initial velocity(u) = 4.5 m/s

acceleration = -10 m/s/s (since the gravity is acting against the egg)

time = t seconds

From the first equation of motion:

<em>v = u + at</em>

<em>0 = 4.5 + (-10)t</em>

<em>t = -4.5 / -10</em>

t = 0.45 seconds

Compare the maximum rate of heat transfer to the basal metabolic rate by converting a bmr of 88 kcal/hr into watts. what is the
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Explanation :

It is given that,

BMR i.e basal metabolic rate is 88 kcal/hr. So, BMR in watts is converted by the following :

We know that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules

So, 1\ kcal/h=\dfrac{1\times 4184\ J}{3600\ sec}

1\ kcal/h=1.16\ J/sec

J/sec is nothing but watts.

So, 1\ kcal/h=1.16\ watts

and 88\ kcal/h=88\times 1.16\ watts = 102.08\ watts

So, it can be seen that the body can accommodate a modes amount of activity in hot weather but strenuous activity would increase the metabolic rate above the body's ability to remove heat.

Compare between chromosphere, corona and photosphere
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Photosphere: The lowest layer of the sun is called photo sphere . It is about 300 miles thick from the surface. It is the source of solar flares. It is  marked by bright bubbling granules of plasma.

chromosphere emits a reddish glow as the super heated hydrogen burns off but the red rim can only be seen during total solar eclipse.

The third layer of the sun atmosphere is Corona. It can also only be seen during during a total solar eclipse. Temperature in corona can reach as high as 3.5 million degree fahrenheit.  As the gases cool they become solar winds.

Two radio antennas A and B radiate in phase. Antenna B is a distance of 120 m to the right of antenna A. Consider point Q along
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

240 m

120 m

Explanation:

d = Path difference = 120 m

For destructive interference

Path difference

d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2d\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2\times 120\\\Rightarrow \lambda=240\ m

The longest wavelength is 240 m

For constructive interference

d=\lambda\\\Rightarrow 120\ m=\lambda

The longest wavelength is 120 m
