Answer:

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

Explanation:

A stone hit the cliff with

speed, v = 88 ft/s

Acceleration, a= 32 ft/s^2

initial speed, u = 0 ft/s

height is h.

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, Equation of motion describes change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled

so, writing the formula of Equation of motion:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*h

substituting the appropriate values,

(88)^2 - 0 = 2*32* h

h=(88)^2 / 64

h= 121 ft

hence

the height (in feet) of the cliff is 121 ft

What is the volume V of a sample of 4.00 mol of copper? The atomic mass of copper (Cu) is 63.5 g/mol, and the density of copper

rusak2 [61]

Answer : The volume of a sample of 4.00 mol of copper is $28.5cm^3$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of copper.

$\text{ Mass of copper}=\text{ Moles of copper}\times \text{ Molar mass of copper}$

$\text{ Mass of copper}=(4.00moles)\times (63.5g/mole)=254g$

Now we have to calculate the volume of copper.

Formula used :

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$8.92\times 10^3kg/m^3=\frac{254g}{Volume}$

$Volume=\frac{254g}{8.92\times 10^3kg/m^3}=2.85\times 10^{-2}L=2.85\times 10^{-2}\times 10^3cm^3=28.5cm^3$

Conversion used :

$1kg/m^3=1g/L\\\\1L=10^3cm^3$

Therefore, the volume of a sample of 4.00 mol of copper is $28.5cm^3$

Why are different colors used to represent the floor of the ocean?

ZanzabumX [31]

The red, yellow, and green wavelengths of sunlight are absorbed by water molecules in the ocean. ... In coastal areas, runoff from rivers, resuspension of sand and silt from the bottom by tides, waves and storms and a number of other substances can change the color of the near-shore waters.

A(n) 96.1 g ball is dropped from a height of 59.1 cm above a spring of negligible mass.The ball compresses the spring to a maxim

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of ball Is m=96.1g=0.0961kg

Height above spring is 59.1cm

L=0.591m

Extension of the spring is 4.75403cm

e=0.0475403m

Then the distance the ball traveled is H=L+e

H=0.591+0.0475403

H=0.6385403m

Then, the potential energy of the ball is given as

P.E=mgh

P.E=0.0961×9.81×0.6385403

P.E=0.602J

From conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroy but can be transferred from one form to another

Then, the P.E is transferred to the work done by the spring

Then, Work done by spring is given as

W=½ke²

W=P.E=½×k×0.0475403²

0.602=½×k×0.0475403²

k=0.602×2/0.0475403²

k=532.72N/m

The spring constant is 532.72 N/m
