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

Two pieces of evidence for plate tectonics?

Reika [66]

Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how the plates once fit together. Fossils tell us when and where plants and animals once existed. Some life "rode" on diverging plates, became isolated, and evolved into new species.

Answer:

22Ω

Explanation:

if V ⇒ voltage

I ⇒ current

R ⇒ resistance

V = IR

220 = 10 x R

220 / 10 = R

To construct a solenoid, you wrap insulated wire uniformly around a plastic tube 7.1 cm in diameter and 57 cm in length. You wou

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

We need about 8769 meters of wire to produce a 2.6 kilogauss magnetic field.

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the magnetic field produced by a solenoid of length L. N turns, and running a current I:

$B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I$

So, in our case, where B = 2.6 KG = 0.26 Tesla; I is 3 amperes, and L = 0.57 m, we can find what is the number of turns needed;

$B=\mu_0\,\frac{N}{L} \,I\\0.26=4\,\pi\,10^{-7}\frac{N}{0.57} \,3\\N=\frac{0.26*0.57\,10^7}{12\,\pi} \\N=39311.27$

Therefore we need about 39312 turns of wire. Considering that each turn must have a length of $\pi\,D$ , where D is the diameter of the plastic cylindrical tube, then the total length of the wire must be:

$Length=39312\,(\pi\,D)=39312\,(\pi\,0.071)\approx 8768.66\,\,m$

We can round it to about 8769 meters.
