A ball is dropped from a rooftop 60m high. <br> How long is the ball in the air?

alina1380 [7]

Answer: 3.49 s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equation of motion:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$y=0 m$ is the final height of the ball

$y_{o}=60 m$ is the initial height of the ball

$V_{o}=0 m/s$ is the initial velocity (the ball was dropped)

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleratio due gravity

$t$ is the time

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}$ (2)

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (60 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (3)

Finally we find the time the ball is in the air:

$t=3.49 s$ (4)

Does uranium use steam?

Neko [114]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Reactors use uranium for nuclear fuel. The uranium is processed into small ceramic pellets and stacked together onto sealed metal tubes called fuel rods. The heat created by fission turns the water into steam.

A certain type of laser emits light that has a frequency of 4.2 × 1014 Hz. The light, however, occurs as a series of short pulse

bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of the laser light, $f=4.2\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Time, $t=3.2\times 10^{-11}\ s$

(a) Let $\lambda$ is the wavelength of this light. It can be calculated as :

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.2\times 10^{14}}$

$\lambda=7.14\times 10^{-7}\ m$

or

$\lambda=714\ nm$

(b) Let n is the number of the wavelengths in one pulse. It can be calculated as :

$n=f\times t$

$n=4.2\times 10^{14}\times 3.2\times 10^{-11}$

n = 13440

Hence, this is the required solution.
