Answer:

39.2m/s

Explanation:

The potential energy the book has right before it falls is equal to the kinetic energy in falling.

PE = KE

mgh = (1/2)mv

2gh=v

v=(2)(9.81)(2)

v=39.24m/s

Which if, any, of these statements are true? (More than one may be true.) Assume the batteries are ideal. Check all that apply.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

All are true except the last point that says that a battery is a current source and the current at the outlet is always the same.

Explanation:

A battery is an electro-chemical device which converts the chemical energy into usable electrical energy thus it provides electrical energy.
Since, the battery maintains a a constant potential difference between its terminals, once connected.
Since, the movement of electric current requires energy, which is supplied by the electric potential energy stored in the battery.
The current in the battery flows as per the Ohm's law and we can not say that the current leaving will always remain constant.
As the current is the flow of electric charge, and charges are not stored in batteries unlike capacitors, thus the current at the leaving end will depend on Ohm's law and will vary accordingly.

What is the likelihood that black holes exist in our galaxy? Explain your response.

Mashcka [7]

Black holes are great amounts of matter packed into a small space. When massive stars collapse upon themselves. When stars aren't able to fuel themselves they become compact. Which turn into black holes.

You are in a tall building located near the equator. What happens to your tangential speed due to the earth's rotation as you ri

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:increases

Explanation:

If we are going upward in an elevator from the ground floor to the top floor then it indicates that your distance from the center of the earth is increasing while the time period remains the same.

If the radial distance is increased then the tangential velocity of the object must be increased because the time period is the same.

This can be best explained by taking an example of a car moving in a circle of radius r. If radial is increased for the same period then the car has to travel at a higher velocity to make in time.

An object is dropped from an airplane and takes 72 seconds to hit the ground. What is the magnitude of its VF Y ?

Dafna1 [17]

The final vertical velocity of the object is 705.6 m

Explanation:

Here we have to analyze the vertical motion of the object, which is a free fall motion, with constant acceleration of

$g=9.8 m/s^2$
