You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. The rock passes you on its way down,

5.00 s after it was thrown. What is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 22.0 m below the point where the rock left your hand? Ignore air resistance.

Answer:

Explanation:

for vertical movement , time to reach the top = time to reach the hand = 2.5 s

v = u - gt

At the top , v = 0 , time t = 2.5 s

0 = u - g x 2.5

u = 2.5 x 9.8 = 24.5 m /s

velocity of throw = 24.5 m /s

So , when it passes the hand on its way down , it will have velocity equal to 24.5 m /s and it will accelerate downwards . Let its velocity down by 22 m be v

v² = u² + 2 g s

= 24.5² + 2 x 9.8 x 22

= 600.25 + 431.2

= 1031.45

v = 32.11 m /s .

A rescue plane wants to drop supplies to isolated mountain climbers on a rocky ridge 235 m below. If the plane is traveling hori
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

481 m

Explanation:

To fall 235 m, the time required is

t = √(2H/g)

t= √(2\times235/9.8)

t=6.92 seconds.

The supplies will travel forward

6.92 \times 69.4 ≈ 481 m

Therefore, the goods must be dropped 481  m in advance of the recipients.

Which describes the greenhouse effect? 1. Earth continues to get warmer over time because it is slowly moving closer to the sun.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).

Explanation:

The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.

When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.

The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.

For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:

--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),

--> Water vapor (H2O), and

--> Methane (CH4)

Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.

A balloon is expanded to the same volume as that of a human head. Do an order-of-magnitude estimate of the volume of this balloo
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3

Explanation:

 The head of a normal person can be assumed as a sphere with radius 10 cm.

 Volume of sphere =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3, where r is the radius.

 We have approximate radius = 10 cm.

  Approximate volume of head =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3} *\pi* 10^3=4188cm^3

 In the given options the closest value to the approximate volume is 1000 cm^3.

 So, volume of head = Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3
