A person of mass 80 kg escapes from a burning building by jumping from a window situated 30 m above a catching net. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . If air friction exerts a constant force of 100 N on her as she falls, determine her speed just before she hits the net:
1. 24.6495 m/s
2. 22.9396 m/s
3. 6.37868 m/s
4. 17.4299 m/s

Comedians like to joke that the reason we haven’t been visited by intelligent life from elsewhere in the universe is that aliens have been monitoring earth’s broadcasts of intellectually embarrassing tv programs, like gilligan’s island, fear factor, the jersey shore, and the jerry springer showand so consider us far too primitive to merit a visit. let’s check the assertion that aliens could have been receiving them. tv programs are broadcast at a frequency of about 100mhz with about 100kw of total power in 30frames per second, which emanatesroughly uniformly in all directions. assume that interstellar space transmits these broadcasts without attenuation. no matter how smart they are, aliens would require at least one photon per frame to interpret our signals. findthe number of photons per unit time per unit area reaching a receiver on a possible planet in the nearest star system, which is about 4 light-years away (a light-year is the distance light travels in a year). if aliens aimed a receiver or detector directly at earth, how big (in diameter) would it have to be to receive a photon per frame

Estimate the change in the gibbs energy and molar gibbs energy of 1.0dm3 of octane when the pressure acting on it is increased from 1.0 atm to 100 atm. the mass density of octane is 0.703 g cm−3

Why is the use of carbon-14 limited
