A heavy rock is shot upward from the edge of a vertical cliff. It leaves the edge of the cliff with an initial velocity of 12 m/
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The height of the building is 88.63 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial component of vertical velocity, v_i = 12 m/s sin 26° = 5.26 m/s

initial horizontal component of the velocity, u_i = 12 m/s cos 26° =10.786 m/s

horizontal distance traveled by the rock, x = 40.4 m

time of flight is calculated as;

x = u_i t

t = x / u_i

t = 40.4 / 10.786

t = 3.75 s

Determine the final vertical velocity of the ball;

v_f = v_i + gt\\\\v_f = 5.26 + (9.8 *3.75)\\\\v_f = 42.01 \ m/s

Determine the height of the rock;

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh\\\\h = \frac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2g}\\\\ h = \frac{(42.01)^2 - (5.26)^2}{2*9.8}\\\\h = 88.63 \ m

Therefore, the height of the building is 88.63 m.

Exercise 1 Electric Fields In this exercise, you will use a digital multimeter to collect voltage data to graph electric fields.
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The answers are in the explanation section below

Explanation:

1) The generalization that can be made from the exploration is that as we move away from the positive electrode, the potential energy gets lower. If we move away from the negative electrode, then the potential energy becomes higher.

2) The positive test charge will have the least potential energy when it gets to the negative electrode point.

3) To move one electron 1m in a direction along one of the equal potential lines, there is no energy needed. Zero work will be required for a charge to move on the equipotential line.

4) If lightning strikes a tree 20m away, it would be better to face the tree or have our back facing the tree. This is because the equipotential line will be present at the point where our body stands, this will protect from electric shock.

The pattern to be sketched is attached.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. Starting downstream, 3.04 m away from a waterfall 0.585 m in heigh
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

V₀ = 5.47 m/s

Explanation:

The jumping motion of the Salmon can be modelled as the projectile motion. So, we use the formula for the range of projectile motion here:

R = V₀² Sin 2θ/g

where,

R = Range of Projectile = 3.04 m

θ = Launch Angle = 41.7°

V₀ = Minimum Launch Speed = ?

g = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

3.04 m = V₀² [Sin2(41.7°)]/(9.81 m/s²)

V₀² = 3.04 m/(0.10126 s²/m)

V₀ = √30.02 m²/s²

<u>V₀ = 5.47 m/s</u>

Anarel [89]

Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.  Since the elevator is moving with a constant speed and not accelerating, the tension in the string is simply the normal, routine, everyday boring weight of the object.
