A coin dropped from the top of a precipice (cliff) takes 2.42 to hit the ground. How highis the precipice (cliff)? .
1 answer:
Answer:
28.7 m.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the coin is dropped from the rest condition at which the initial velocity is 0 m/s, we can compute the height of the precipice via the following equation:
Whereas the final height is 0, the initial one is to be computed and the gravity is considered as 9.8 m/s², therefore the height turns out:
It means that the height of the cliff is 28.7 m.
Regards.

The mass is moving by uniformly accelerated motion, with initial velocity 
and acceleration 
. Its position at time t is given by the following law:
where we take the initial position
since we are only interested in the distance traveled by the mass.
If we put
into the equation, the corresponding time t is the time it takes for the mass to travel this distance:
And the two solutions for the equation are:
--> negative, we can discard it
--> this is the solution to our problem
where we take the initial position
If we put
And the two solutions for the equation are:
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mas of the object, m = 6 kg
It is lifted through a distance, h = 5.25 m
Tension in the string, T = 80 N
(a) By considering the free body diagram of the object, the forces can be equated as :
Work done by tension,
(b) Work done by gravity,
(c) Let v is the final speed of the object and u = 0
v = 5.91 m/s
Hence, this is the required solution.
Explanation:
Given
mass of the rock is 10 kg
Force requires to hold the rock is equal to its weight
Weight is given by the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity
Weight on the earth surface
Weight on the moon surface
So, the force holding the rock on earth is approximately 6 times the force on the moon.
