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...

RoseWind [281]

Answer:3.6\ kW

Explanation:

Given

Power Supplied [tex]P_{input}=4\ kW[/tex]

Efficiency of the motor \neta =90\%

and \neta =\dfrac{\text{Power output}}{\text{Power input}}

\Rightarrow 0.9=\dfrac{P_{out}}{4}

\Rightarrow P=0.9\times 4

\Rightarrow P=3.6\ kW

So, vacuum cleaner delivers a power of 3.6\ kW

How many grams of ice at 0°c will melt if 1.50 kj of heat are added? (the molar heat of fusion of water is 6.01 kj/mol.) 4.49 g
Nata [24]
The computation would be:moles = mass/ Molar Mass, but we are looking for the mass, so rearranging, will give us: mass = moles x MM 
Q = moles x Hf 
Q = (mass/MM) x Hf 
mass = (Q x MM) / Hf 
= (1.50-kJ x 18.0-g/mol) / 6.01-kJ/mol 
=4.49 g H20 is the answer
