A cement block accidentally falls from rest from the ledge of a 53.0-m-high building. When the block is 14.0 m above the ground,

a man, 2.00 m tall, looks up and notices that the block is directly above him. How much time, at most, does the man have to get out of the way?

Answer:

0.405 seconds

Explanation:

Consider the amount of time it takes the block to fall from 53 m up to 14 m above the ground; then consider the amount of time it takes the block to fall from 53 m up to 2 m above  the ground.

First,     d = (1/2) gt^2    or     t=   ( 2 d / g)^1/2

= ( 2 × 39 / 9.8)^1/2 = 2.8212 seconds

Then, to fall from 53 down to 2 meters...

 d = (1/2) gt^2    or     t=   ( 2 d / g)^1/2

= ( 2 * 51/ 9.8 )^1/2 = 3.2262 seconds

So the amount of time it takes for the block to fall from 14 m upto 2 m above the ground

3.2262 - 2.8212 = 0.405 seconds      

this is how much time there is from when the man sees the block until it hits him. Not much time...

Carbon is one of the main building blocks of life. This is what carbon dating is so effective, because scientists are able to tell the approximate age of something that was once alive given how much carbon is still in the animal.

A wood block, after being given a starting push, slides down a ramp at a constant speed. what is the angle of the ramp above hor
Stells [14]

The solution for the problem is:

Constant speed means Fnet = 0. 
Let m = mass of wood block and Θ = angle of ramp; then if µk = 0.35 …

The computation would be:


Fnet = 0 = mg (sin Θ) - (µk) (mg) (cos Θ) 
mg (sin Θ) = µk (mg) (cos Θ) 
µk = tan Θ 
Θ = arctan(µk)

= arctan (0.35)

≈ 19.3°

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa. People can normally snorkel down to a depth of roughly one meter. What
natulia [17]

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa  

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

P=\rho gh

Where

\rho is the density of air, \rho=1.225\ kg/m^3

So,

P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.
