A chair, which was initially at rest, is thrown from a balcony and lands on the floor below. The elapsed time is 2.3 seconds. What is the speed of the chair just before impact?

The speed of the chair just before impact is 22.54 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

The chair was initially at rest, that is, the initial velocity of the chair is 0 m/s.

Since the chair was thrown from a balcony, the chair will fall freely due to gravity.

To determine the speed of the chair just before impact, we will determine the final velocity of the chair.

From one of the equations of linear motion for objects falling freely due to gravity,

v = u + gt

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity (Take g = 9.8 m/s²)

and t is time

From the question,

u = 0 m/s

t = 2.3 secs

Then, v = u + gt becomes

v = 0 + (9.8)(2.3)

v = 9.8 × 2.3

v = 22.54 m/s

Hence, the speed of the chair just before impact is 22.54 m/s.

i think the answer is b

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).
