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...

What units must the constant G have in order for the u it’s F to be newtons (N)?
EleoNora [17]

The units for G must be [N][m^2][kg^{-2}]

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

F is the force

G is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

We know that:

  • The units of F are Newtons (N)
  • The units of m_1,m_2 are kilograms (kg)
  • The units of r are metres (m)

So, we can rewrite the equation in terms of G, to find its units:

G=\frac{Fr^2}{m_1 m_2}=\frac{[N][m]^2}{[kg][kg]}=[N][m^2][kg^{-2}]

Sound with a frequency of 1250 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.05 m.At what minimum angle relative to the c
kiruha [24]

Answer:

15.19°, 31.61°, 51.84°

Explanation:

We need to fin the angle for m=1,2,3

We know that the expression for wavelenght is,

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

Substituting,

\lambda = \frac{344}{1250}

\lambda = 0.2752m

Once we have the wavelenght we can find the angle by the equation of the single slit difraction,

sin\theta = \frac{m \lambda}{W}

Where,

W is the width

m is the integer

\lambda the wavelenght

Re-arrange the expression,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{m\lambda}{W}

For m=1,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{1 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 15.19\°

For m=2,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{2 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 31.61\°

For m=3,

\theta = sin^{-1} \frac{3 (0.2752)}{1.05}= 51.84\°

<em>The angle of diffraction is directly proportional to the size of the wavelength.</em>
