Two rocks, a and b, are thrown horizontally from the top of a cliff. rock a has an initial speed of 10 meters per second and roc

k b has an initial speed of 20 meters per second. how would you describe the time it takes for the rocks to reach the ground and the horizontal distance they travel? both rocks hit the ground at the same time and at the same distance from the base of the cliff. both rocks hit the ground at the same time, but rock b lands twice as far as rock a from the base of the cliff. both rocks hit the ground at the same time, but rock a lands twice as far as rock b from the base of the cliff. rock b hits the ground before rock a, and rock b lands twice as far as rock a from the base of the cliff.

Both rocks hit the ground at the same time and at the same distance from the base of the cliff. Option A is correct.

<h3>What is speed ?</h3>

Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained. it is a time-based quantity. it is denoted by u for the initial speed while u for the final speed. its SI unit is m/sec.

If the  resistance is ignored, things falling near the Earth's surface have the same estimated acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 meters per second.

As a result, the objects' acceleration is the same, and their velocity is growing at a consistent pace.

So that both rocks hit the ground at the same time and at the same distance from the base of the cliff.

Hence, option A is correct.

In which of the following cases is the torque about the shoulder due to the weight of the arm the greatest? Case 1: A person hol
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: a) Case 2 b) Case 1

Explanation:

a) By definition, the magnitude of a torque, referred to a given point, is expressed as the product of the force that causes the torque, times the perpendicular distance to the reference point.

If we assume that the only force acting on the arm is the weight of the arm, and that this is concentrated in a point in the center of it (taking the arm as a solid bar with the center of mass at the mid-point), clearly the torque will be the greatest when the force be exactly perpendicular, which is the case of the arm placed straight out parallel to the ground (Case 2).

b)  As the torque and the angular acceleration are directly proportional each other (being the rotational inertia the proportionality constant) the angular acceleration will be maximum when torque be maximum also, which is the case that the arm begins to swim, due to the perpendicular distance to the shoulder is the maximum possible (Case 1).

Which statement defines an ore? Rock broken down to become part of the topsoil. Rock dug out from the earth to use in constructi
Anika [276]

Rock dug out from the deep inside earth and refined.

Explanation:

Ores are usually rocks dug out from deep within the earth and refined.

An ore is an aggregate of metalliferous minerals with gangue that can be won at profit under current economic conditions.

Ores are rocks and rocks can be ores if they contain viable economic minerals.

They are usually naturally formed and they contain different minerals.

For example cassiterite is a known ore of tin.

The seeds were sown (change the voice)​
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

He sowed the seeds

Explanation:

While the question should have given the person who did the sowing for example the seeds were sown by him/ her/ the farmer/ or any name. Therefore, voice is given in passive and to change passive voice to active voice then the sentence will read as follows assuming that the seeds were sown by him

He sowed the seeds

A rock is being twirled in a circle on the end of a string. The string provides the centripetal force needed to keep the ball mo
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The force of tension exerted by the string on the rock acts as centripetal force, so its direction is always towards the centre of the circle.

However, the direction of motion of the rock is always tangential to the circle: this means that the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the rock.

As we know, the work done by a force on an object is

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the force and the displacement

In this situation, F and d are perpendicular, so \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore cos \theta = 0 and the work done is zero:

W=0
