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:

$y=y_0+v_0*t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

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:

$y=y_0+v_0*t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\y_0=\frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^2*(2.42s)^2 \\\\y_0=28.7m$

It means that the height of the cliff is 28.7 m.

Regards.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The value is $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first amplitude of the wave is $E_{max}1 = 98.02 \ V/m$

The first depth is $D_1 = 10 \ m$

The second amplitude is $E_{max}2 = 81.87 \ (V/m)$

The second depth is $D_2 = 100 \ m$

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

$v(x) = Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)$

=> $\frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}$

So considering the ratio of the equation for the two depth

$\frac{A}{A_S} = \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}$

=> $\frac{98.02}{81.87} = \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}$

=> $\alpha = \frac{0.18}{90}$

=> $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$
