is 52 m above the waters surface
A. How long does it take for the stone to fall to the water
B. What is the vertical velocity component of the stone just before it hits the water
C. What is the horizontal velocity component of the stone just before it hits the water

<u>Answer:</u>

A) The time taken by the stone to reach the ground will be 3.257 Seconds

B) The Initial vertical velocity will be zero

 C) The horizontal velocity doesn’t change, so it remains the same i.e., 18m/s.

D) The total velocity of the stone just before it hits the water is 36.645 m/s.

A)<u>Explanation :</u>

When the stone is kicked, there are two components act on the stone. One is in the horizontal direction, and the other in downward vertical direction.

Also Initial vertical component of velocity will be zero as the stone is kicked horizontally.

So, the time taken will be given by applying Newton’s Equation of Motion

Or, y=v_{i} t+\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}

Where y = vertical downward distance

v_i=initial vertical velocity=0 m/s

t = time taken to reach the ground

Substituting the values in the above equation, we find

-52 = 0 + \frac{-9.8 \times t^{2}}{2}

or, t^2= \frac{-52 \times 2}{-9.8}

or, t =\sqrt{\frac{1040}{98}}  = 3.257 s

B) Explanation

The Initial vertical velocity will be zero as the stone is kicked horizontally

C)Explanation

The horizontal velocity component is not under the influence of gravity, so it remains the same, and moves constant velocity horizontally.

D)  Explanation

We will firstly find the final vertical velocity using one of the equations of motion

v_f= \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{i}}+\mathrm{at}^{2}

Substituting the values in the above equation, we find

v_f =0-9.8 \times 3.257=-31.92 m/s

Now, Total Velocity (v) is given by

v = \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}

where,

v_x= Horizontal velocity

v_y= Vertical velocity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we find

v = \sqrt{18^{2}+31.92^{2}}= 36.645 m/s

A man ties one end of a strong rope 8.17 m long to the bumper of his truck, 0.524 m from the ground, and the other end to a vert
Kamila [148]

Answer:

2442.5 Nm

Explanation:

Tension, T = 8.57 x 10^2 N

length of rope, l = 8.17 m

y = 0.524 m

h = 2.99 m

According to diagram

Sin θ = (2.99 - 0.524) / 8.17

Sin θ = 0.3018

θ = 17.6°

So, torque about the base of the tree is

Torque = T x Cos θ x 2.99

Torque = 8.57 x 100 x Cos 17.6° x 2.99

Torque = 2442.5 Nm

thus, the torque is 2442.5 Nm.

What happens to parallel light rays that strike a concave lens?
torisob [31]

Answer:

They diverge on refraction

Explanation:

When parallel light rays strike a concave lens, they will diverge that is they spread out .

Concave lens is also known as diverging lens, which means that when parallel rays of light strike on it, the lens spreads out the light rays ( that is it diverges the rays of light) that are refracted through it.

At the middle  of concave lens is thinner.  

When light is passes through the lens they diverge it or spread out.

The concave lens causes light rays to bend away or diverge from its axis since the concave lens is a diverging lens.
