The diamond will fall 243 m far from the base of the cliff.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As the diamond is thrown off the cliff, the diamond will follow a projectile path with free fall. So the velocity component will be splitted as horizontal and vertical velocity. The horizontal component of velocity will remain constant as given at 27 m/s but the vertical velocity will be varying at the rate of 9.8 m/s as the diamond will be reaching the ground due to free fall.

So gravity will act upon the diamond leading to exhibit acceleration due to gravity will falling. Thus with the help of second equation of motion, we can determine the time taken by the diamond to reach the ground from a height of 413.8 m.  

As the second equation of motion is

                            s=u t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}

As the initial velocity of the diamond before thrown is zero, u = 0 and as the diamond is exhibiting a free fall, so acceleration a will be equal to acceleration due to gravity g. And the displacement performed by the diamond will be equal to the height of the cliff.  

Thus,

            413.8=(0 \times t)+\left(\frac{1}{2} \times g \times t^{2}\right)

           413.8=\left(\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times t^{2}\right)

           t^{2}=\frac{413.8 \times 2}{9.8}=84.44

Thus, the time taken for crossing the cliff is t = 9 s.

Now the distance at which the diamond falls far from the base of the cliff can be found as

\begin{aligned} \text { Distance of diamond from base of the cliff} \\=& \text {Horizontal velocity} \times \text {Time taken to reach ground} \end{aligned}

Thus,

                  \text { Distance }=27 \times 9=243 \mathrm{m}

April stands on a flat surface . If she has a mass of 72 what is the nirmal force acting on her
gayaneshka [121]

The normal force acting on April as she stands on a flat surface is 705.6 N.

Normal force of the girl

Fₙ = mg

where;

  • Fₙ is the normal force of the girl
  • m is mass of the girl
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

Fₙ = 72 x 9.8

Fₙ = 705.6 N

Thus, the normal force acting on April as she stands on a flat surface is 705.6 N.

balu736 [363]
<h2>2) Copernicus rediscovered Aristarchus’s heliocentric model.</h2>

Before Copernican Revolution, people did believe in the ptolemain model that establishes the description of the Universe with the earth at the center having sun, moon, starts and planets all orbited earth. On the other hand, the heliocentric model establishes the sun at the center of the solar system and this starts with the publication of Nicolas Copernicus named <em>De revolutionibus orbium coelestium.</em>

<h2>5) Newton’s theories of gravity increased understanding of the movement of planets.</h2>

The revolution ended with Isaac Newton's work over a century later. As you well know, Newton was both a physicist and mathematician, better known for his prodigal work called <em>Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. </em>In this revolution, he is known for his laws of motion and universal gravitation increasing understanding of the movement of planets.
