A water bottle is dropped from a plane and accelerates because of gravity. What distance did it fall during 3 seconds?

1 answer:

4 0

It’d fall 29.4m or 96.46ft

Explanation:
Uhh since gravity is 9.8m/s then in three seconds it’d drop 29.4m or 96.46ft
That is assuming there isn’t a lot of wind resistance, but if you take that into account, then it’d probably be somewhere around 25m since the water bottle is going to be heavier than the wind resistance, and since we don’t know the weight of the water bottle it can’t really be calculated.

Hope this helps!

consider a sample of gas in a container on a comfortable spring day. the Celsius temperature suddenly doubles, and you transfer

Tasya [4]

Answer:

6.6 atm

Explanation:

Using the general gas law

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Let P₂ be the new pressure

So, P₂ = P₁V₁T₂/V₂T₁

Since V₂ = 2V₁ , P₁ = 12 atm and T₁ = 273 + t where t = temperature in Celsius

T₂ = 273 + 2t (since its Celsius temperature doubles).

Substituting these values into the equation for P₂, we have

P₂ = P₁V₁(273 + 2t)/2V₁(273 + t)

P₂ = 12(273 + 2t)/[2(273 + t)]

P₂ = 6(273 + 2t)/(273 + t)]

assume t = 30 °C on a comfortable spring day

P₂ = 6(273 + 2(30))/(273 + 30)]

P₂ = 6(273 + 60))/(273 + 30)]

P₂ = 6(333))/(303)]

P₂ = 6.6 atm

The energy of a given wave in the electromagnetic spectrum is 2.64 × 10-21 joules, and the value of Planck’s constant is 6.6 × 1

bixtya [17]

We are given
E = 2.64 × 10-21 J
h = 6.6 × 10-34 J s

The options given below are frequencies, therefore, the question must be asking about the frequency fo the given wave

The equation is
E = h f
Simply substitute and solve for f which is the frequency
f = 2.64 × 10-21 J / 6.6 × 10-34 J s
f = 4.00 × 1012 hertz

At noon, ship A is 140 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 30 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km/h. How fast (in

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The rate of change of distance between the two ships is 18.63 km/h

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two ships, d = 140 km

speed of ship A = 30 km/h

speed of ship B = 25 km/h

between noon (12 pm) to 4 pm = 4 hours

The displacement of ship A at 4pm = 140 km - (30 km/h x 4h) =

140 km - 120 km = 20 km

(the subtraction is because A is moving away from the initial position and the distance between the two ships is decreasing)

The displacement of ship B at 4pm = 25 km/h x 4h = 100 km

Using Pythagoras theorem, the resultant displacement of the two ships at 4pm is calculated as;

r² = a² + b²

r² = 20² + 100²

r = √10,400

r = 101.98 km

The rate of change of this distance is calculated as;

r² = a² + b²

r = 101.98 km, a = 20 km, b = 100 km

$2r(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = 2a(\frac{da}{dt} ) + 2b(\frac{db}{dt} )\\\\r(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = a(\frac{da}{dt} ) + b(\frac{db}{dt} )\\\\101.98(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = 20(-30 ) + 100(25 )\\\\101.98(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = -600 + 2,500\\\\101.98(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = 1900\\\\\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{1900}{101.98} = 18.63 \ km/h$
