Answer:
1.7% is stored in the polar icecaps, glaciers, and permanent snow
Explanation:
70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water; However, only a small percentage, 0.025%, is suitable for human consumption. A limited resource whose demand, according to the forecasts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), will skyrocket up to 55% globally between 2000 and 2050.
In the attached infographic we observe that the total volume of water on Earth is 1,386 million cubic kilometers, of which<em> </em><u>1.7% is forming polar ice, cap glaciers and permanent snow</u>. 1,338 million cubic kilometers of that water is in seas and oceans, that is, 96.5% is in seas and oceans, that is, it is salt water that cannot be drunk.
Only 3.5% of the Earth's water is fresh, but of this percentage, only 1% of the Earth's fresh water flows through the river basins in the form of streams and rivers.
Even with no friction, it depends on the slope of the roof. That is, it depends on how much elevation (altitude) he loses during the slide.
Whatever that number is ... call it 'h' ... Santa's speed when he reaches the edge is
Square root of (19.6h) meters per second.
It doesn't matter how much he weighs, or how far he has slud. Only how much altitude he lost on the slope while sliding.
Answer:
Vf = 29.4 m/s
h = 44.1 m
Explanation:
Data:
- Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
- Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Time (t) = 3 s
- Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
- Height (h) = ?
==================================================================
Final Velocity
Use formula:
Replace:
Multiply:
==================================================================
Height
Use formula:
Replace:
Multiply time squared:
Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:
It divides:
What is the velocity when falling to the ground?
The final velocity is <u>29.4 meters per seconds.</u>
How high is the building?
The height of the building is <u>44.1 meters.</u>
