A group of big city tenants were upset about rising rent for their apartments, and decided to play a prank on the Building Manag

er. They went up to the top floor of the
building, which was 176.4 m above the sidewalk, and waited. They wanted to drop the balloon at just the right time, so they needed to make a quick calculation. How many
seconds before the Building Manager walks to the spot should they drop the balloon?

Answer:

  t = 6 s

Explanation:

This is a free fall exercise

          y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

If the balloon is released its initial velocity is zero, when it reaches the floor its height is also zero, we substitute

         0 = y₀ + 0  - ½ g t2

         t = √(2yo / g)

let's calculate

         t = √ (2 176.4 / 9.8)

         t = 6 s

the balloon must be released 6 s before the person reaches the building

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm

Explanation:

given data

Radius of sphere 3.0 cm

charge Q = 2.0 m C

We know that maximum electric field is given as

E_{MAX}= \frac{KQ}{r^{2}}

electric field inside the sphere can be determine by using below relation

\frac{KQ}{r^{2}}= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{KQ}{R^{2}}

r = \sqrt{2}R

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm

A bobsled zips down an ice track, starting from rest at the top of a hill with a vertical height of 150m. Disregarding friction,
olchik [2.2K]
<span>The velocity would be 54.2 m/s We would use the equation 1/2mv^2top+mghtop = 1/2mv^2bottom+mghbottom where m is the mass of the bobsled(which can be ignored), vtop/bottom is the velocity of the bobsled at the top or bottom, g is gravity, and htop/bottom is the height of the bobsled at the top or bottom of the hill. Since the velocity of the bobsled at the top of the hill and height at the bottom of the hill are zero, 1/2mv^2top and mghbottom will equal zero. The equation will be mghtop=1/2mv^2bottom. Thus we would solve for v.</span>

object P1 and P2 are in a straight line with the normal to a plane mirror.If P1 and P2 are 18m and 21m away from the mirror. Cal
VARVARA [1.3K]

The distance between object P1 and its image formed is determined as 36 m.

<h3>Distance of the image</h3>

The distance of the image formed by object P1 is calculated as follows;

In a plane mirror; object distance = image distance

image distance of P1 = 18 m

distance between object and image = 18m + 18 m = 36 m

Thus, the distance between object P1 and its image formed is determined as 36 m.

When Sam presses the brake lever, a pair of rubber shoes  clamps onto the metal inner rim of the front and back wheels. As the brake shoes rub  against the wheels, friction is caused and  the kinetic energy possessed by the vehicle is converted into heat which slows down the vehicle.
