Against the park ranger's advice, a visitor at a national park throws a stone horizontally off the edge of a 86 m high cliff and

it lands a distance of 89 m from the edge of the cliff, narrowly missing a visitor below.
What was the initial horizontal velocity of the rock, in m/s? You can round your answer to the hundredth place and use g ≈ 10 m/s2.

The initial horizontal velocity of the rock, in m/s is 21.241 m/s.

<h3>What is projectile?</h3>

When an object is thrown at an angle from the horizontal direction, the object is said to be in projectile motion. The object which follows the projectile motion.

Time taken by the stone to reach the ground is

t = √2h/g

t = √(2x 86)/9.81

t = 4.19s


The horizontal velocity is

V(x)  = Horizontal distance traveled / Time taken t

Put the values, we get

V(x) = 89 m/4.19 s

V(x) = 21.241 m/s

Thus, the horizontal velocity is 21.241 m/s

Answer:

The other angle is 120°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 60

Speed = 5.0

We need to calculate the  range

Using formula of range

R=\dfrac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}...(I)

The range for the other angle is

R=\dfrac{v^2\sin(2(\alpha-\theta))}{g}....(II)

Here, distance and speed are same

On comparing both range

\dfrac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}=\dfrac{v^2\sin(2(\alpha-\theta))}{g}

\sin(2\theta)=\sin(2\times(\alpha-\theta))

\sin120=\sin2(\alpha-60)

120=2\alpha-120

\alpha=\dfrac{120+120}{2}

\alpha=120^{\circ}

Hence, The other angle is 120°

A compound has a melting point of 812°C. what type of bonding is in the compound?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Ionic compound.

Explanation:

812° C is a very high melting point. Such high melting points are generally ionic compound. Ionic compounds are have very strong bond between the elements ( electrostatic bond). In order to break this bond, large amount of heat energies are needed. So, they have high melting point. Also, Ionic compound are very good conductors of electricity.

For resistance we have R=ρ l/a
 thus for conductance we have K=σ a/l
conductance,K=1/R
conductivity,σ =1/ρ

σ = .80 Ω-1 cm-1
l =9 cm
a = 3 cm²
K=.80 ×3/9
