The distance from the base of the building the rock will land is 26.4 m

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Distance (s) =?
<h3>Determination of the time to reach the ground </h3>
  • Height (h) = 8.50 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

8.5 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

8.5 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 8.5 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(8.5 / 4.9)

t = 1.32 s

<h3>How to determine the distance </h3>
  • Horizontal velocity (u) = 20 m/s
  • Time (t) = 1.32 s
  • Distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 20 × 1.32

s = 26.4 m

Mary takes 6.0 seconds to run up a flight of stairs that is 102 meters long. If Mary's weight is 87 newtons, what power has Mary
fredd [130]

Answer: 1479watts

Explanation:

Power is defined as the energy expended or work done in a specific time.

Mathematically,

Power = Workdone/time taken

Since work done is force × distance

Power = force × distance/time

Force = Mary's weight = 87N

Distance = height of the flight = 102meters

Time = 6.0seconds

Substituting in the formula we have;

Power = 87 × 102/6

Power = 1,479watts

Note that the time must be in seconds before usage. If its given in minutes, you will have to convert to seconds

After a laser bean passes through two thin parallel slits, thefirst completely dark fringes occur at ± 15.00with the original di
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

143 °

Explanation:

a ) If d be the distance between slits , λ be wavelength of light used and at angle θ nth dark fringe is formed then

d sinθ = ( 2n+1) λ/2

for first dark fringe

d sinθ = λ/2

d /λ = 1/ 2 sinθ

1 / 2 sin15

= 1.93

b )

For intensity of fringe at angle θ,  the relation is

I = I₀ cos²θ

I / I₀  = cos²θ/2

Given I / I₀ =0. 1

0.1 = cos²θ/2

θ/2 = 71.5

θ = 143 °
