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...

How does a plasma differ from a gas
faltersainse [42]
<span>They are different and unique from the other states of matter. Plasma is different from a gas, because it is made up of groups of positively and negatively charged particles.

Oxygen is a diatomic gas. How many oxygen molecules are in 16 grams of oxygen?
Licemer1 [7]

1 mol of oxygen molecules = 2 * 16 = 32 grams.

x mol of oxygen = 16 grams

1/x = 32/16    Cross multiply

16 = 32x        Divide by 32

16/32 = x

x = 1/2 mol

1 mol of anything has 6.02 * 10^23 somethings (molecules in this case).

1/2 mol = 6.02 *10^23 / 2

1/2 mol = 3.01 * 10^23 molecules <<<< answer
