Find the height from which you would have to drop a ball so that it would have a speed of 7.4 m/s just before it hits the ground.

An object thrown vertically upward from the surface of a celestial body at a velocity of 36 m/s reaches a height of sequalsminus0.9tsquaredplus36t meters in t seconds. a. determine the velocity v of the object after t seconds. b. when does the object reach its highest point? c. what is the height of the object at the highest point? d. when does the object strike the ground? e. with what velocity does the object strike the ground? f. on what intervals is the speed increasing?

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

Which is not true about oxygen-17 and oxygen-18?
