Answer:

1.38 s

Explanation:

Use the free falling formula

T = √(L)/ g

T = √18.75/9.8

T = 1.38 s

A pot on the stove contains 200 g of water at 20°C. An unknown mass of ice that is originally at −10°C is placed in an identical
Mumz [18]

Answer:

a) The mass of the ice is smaller than the mass of the water

b) The ice reaches first 80°C ,

Explanation:

Since the heat Q that should be provided to ice

Q = sensible heat to equilibrium temperature (as ice) + latent heat + sensible heat until final temperature ( as water)

m ice * c ice * ( T equil -T initial  ) + m ice* L + m ice* c water * ( T final - T equil)

and the heat Q that should be provided to water is

Q= m water * c water * ( T final - T equil )

since the rate of heat addition q = constant and the time t taken to reach the final temperature is the same , then the heat absorbed Q=q*t is the same for both, therefore

m water * c water *  ( T final - T equil ) = m ice* [c ice *( T equil -T initial  ) + L + c water * ( T final - T equil)]

m water/ m ice =  [c ice * ( T equil -T initial  )  + L + c water * ( T final - T equil)]/ [ c water * ( T final - T equil)]

m water/ m ice = [c ice * ( T equil -T initial  )  + L ]/[c water * ( T final - T equil) ] + 1

since  [c ice * ( T equil -T initial  )  + L ]/[c water * ( T final - T equil) ] >0 , then

m water/ m ice > 1

m water > m ice

so the mass of ice is smaller that the mass of water

b) Since the heat Q that should be provided to the ice, starting from 55°C mass would be

Q ice= m ice * c water * ( T final2 - T final1 )

and for the water mass

Q water = m water * c water * ( T final2 - T final1 )

dividing both equations

Q water / Q ice = m water / m ice >1

thus

Q water > Q ice

since the heat addition rate is constant

Q water = q* t water and Q ice=q* t ice

therefore

q* t water > q* t ice

t water >  t ice

so the time that takes to reach 80°C is higher for water , thus the ice mass reaches it first.

The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf is false. The kinetic energy on the shelf is zero because it is not in action.

Two billion people jump up in the air at the same time with an average velocity of 7.0 m/sec. If the mass of an average person i
faust18 [17]

Well first of all, you must realize that it depends on how the jumpers are distributed on the earth's surface.  If,say, one billion of them are in the eastern  hemisphere and the other billion are in the western one, then the sum of all of their momenta could easily be zero, and have no effect at all on the planet.  I'm pretty sure what you must have in mind is to consider the Earth to be a block, with a flat upper surface, and all the people jump in the same direction.

average mass per person = 60 kg.
jump velocity = 7 m/s straight up and away from the block, all in the same direction
one person's worth of momentum = (m) (v) = 420 kg.m/s
sum of two billion of them = 8.4 x 10¹¹ kg-m/s all in the same direction

Earth's "recoil" momentum = 8.4 x 10¹¹ in the opposite direction = (m) (v)

Divide each side by 'm' :     v = (momentum) / (mass) =

The Earth's "recoil" velocity is   (8.4 x 10¹¹) / (5.98 x 10²⁴) = 

                                                               1.405 x 10⁻¹³ m/s =

                                              <em> 0.00000000014 millimeter per second

</em>
I have no intuitive feeling for this kind of thing, so can't judge whether
the answer is reasonable.  But my math and physics felt OK on the
way to the solution, so that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.
