7 0

Answer:

70.8m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of fall  = 3.8s

Unknown:

Depth of the mine  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the appropriate motion equation as shown  below;

            S  = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²  

S is the depth

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration due to gravity

  Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Since u  = 0;

    S  =    \frac{1}{2} at²    = \frac{1}{2} x 9.8 x 3.8²   = 70.8m

Why does alternating current change direction 50 to 60 times per second?
mars1129 [50]
An alternating current changes position 50 to 60 times per second due to the changing charges at the ends of the wires. As the charges change from (+) to (-) and vice versa, the electrons in the wire change direction according to its attraction and repulsion from the charges. Whether a country uses 50 or 60 depends on its electrical system.

Because when a white light goes through a clear object like the glass pyrimide it divides into the different color lights the different color lights travel in different speeds like the red light traveles faster that the purple light thats why on a rainbow the red is on the top and purple is on the bottom

Conformity is not a bad thing, but sometimes it is inappropriate. When would those times be? when you behave badly when you act
AleksAgata [21]
The correct option is ALL CHOICES
 Conformity is defined as compliance with standard laws, that is, behaving in a manner that is in accordance with what is expected of the community or the society in which one lives. Conformity is expected of every one that lives in a community but this may not be an appropriate thing to do under some circumstances. In a situation in which one's conformity will make one to behave rudely, carry out illegal actions or be involved in unethical actions, such conformity should be ignored.

The temperature of a liquid is 75°F. What is its temperature in °C?
Westkost [7]
The answer is <span>C. 24°C.

We have formula: </span><span>°C = (°F – 32) x 5/9
</span>°C = ?
If we know that the temperature of the liquid is <span>75°F, let's just substitute it in the formula:
</span>°C = (75 – 32) x 5/9
°C = 43 x 5/9
°C = 23.89
°C ≈ 24
