Hello! :)

\large\boxed{19.6 m}

Use the kinematic equation below to solve for the height of the building:

d = \frac{1}{2} at^{2}

Where:

d = distance, or height of the building (m)

a = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

t = time (seconds)

Plug in the given values into the equation:

d = \frac{1}{2} (9.8)2^{2}\\\\d = \frac{1}{2} (39.2)\\\\d = 19.6 m

vagabundo [1.1K]
It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.

A 500 N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area
Ghella [55]

Answer:

d. 10000N

Explanation:

When a force (F_1) is exerted on the smaller area piston (A_1), the pressure that originates therein is transmitted to the larger area piston(A_2). According to Pascal's principle the pressure on the smallest piston (P_1=\frac{F_1}{A_1}) will be equal to the pressure on the largest piston (P_2=\frac{F_2}{A_2}):

\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}\\F_2=F_1\frac{A_2}{A_1}\\F_2=500N\frac{40cm}{2cm}\\F_2=10000N
