Answer: 13.2 seconds.
Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0
S= distance travelled
a = acceleration due gravity
t= time.
1 foot = 0.305m so,
S= 2860 feet =872.3m
S= ut+1/2 at²
872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²
872.3 =0 + 5t²
T²= 872.3/5
T²= 174.46
Take the square root of T we then have;
t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.
Answer:
1. the electromagnetic wave.
Explanation:
Mathematically,
wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency
A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.
Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.
Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)
Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.
Answer:
Velocity = 3.25[m/s]
Explanation:
This problem can be solved if we use the Bernoulli equation: In the attached image we can see the conditions of the water inside the container.
In point 1, (surface of the water) we have the atmospheric pressure and at point 2 the water is coming out also at atmospheric pressure, therefore this members in the Bernoulli equation could be cancelled.
The velocity in the point 1 is zero because we have this conditional statement "The water surface drops very slowly and its speed is approximately zero"
h2 is located at point 2 and it will be zero.

Answer:
There is a thing called a continental drift. It started about 200 million years ago. At first the continents were all attached, this super continent was called pangaea. Continental drift occurs because of the shift of the tectonic plates within the earth's outer shell. The heat from within the earth triggers movement to occur. This a very slow process though. It took 200 million years for the continents to get where the are now and would probably take another 200 to collide.
