Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s

ame location as Rock X. Both rocks fall for several seconds before landing on the ground directly below the cliff. Frictional forces are considered to be negligible. After Rock Y is released from rest several seconds after Rock X is released from rest, what happens to the separation distance S between the rocks as they fall but before they reach the ground, and why? Take the positive direction to be downward.

Answer:

Separation increases at all times that rock X falls because it falls with a greater speed

Explanation:

For both rocks, let initial velocity ∪=0

To find the displacement at any given time interval of Δt then

S= ∪Δt +0.5gΔt²

Since rock X is first released followed by Y, then X has a greater speed than Y therefore the distance covered by X is longer. This is because despite 0.5gΔt² being same for both rocks at any time Δt but rock X having already attained some velocity, its ∪Δt  is more hence the separation S increases. Conclusively, S increases at all times that rock X falls since rock X falls with a greater velocity than rock Y

You can tell if something’s a living thing or not by checking if it has?
olga_2 [115]

Explanation:

To determine whether something is living or nonliving, a living thing must meet seven specific characteristics: feeding, movement, respiration, excretion, growth, sensitivity, and reproduction. A living organism needs to be able to feed to make energy and grow.

A motorcycle is moving at 30 m/s when the rider applies the brakes, giving the motorcycle a constant deceleration. During the 3.
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the distance that the motorcycle travelled we first need to obtain the acceleration rate that was used to brake the vehicle. We do that by using the following formula:

a = (V_final - V_initial)/(t) = (15 - 30)/(3.1) = -4.84 m/s^2

The distance is given by the following formula:

S = (V_final^2 - V_initial^2)/(2*a)

S = (15^2 - 30^2)/[2*(-4.84)] = (225 - 900)/(-9.68) = -675/(-9.68) = 69.73 m

The motorcycle travelled 69.73 m during these 3.1 s.

two barges full of salted toad guts have a collision. the red barge has a mass of 150000kg and is traveling northwest at 0.25m/s
solniwko [45]

The final velocity of the red barge in the collision elastic is 0.311 m/s when it collides with blue barge pf mass 1000000 kg.

Final velocity(v3)  of the red barge is calculated by following formula

m1×v1+ m2×v2= (m1+m2)v3

Substituting the value of m1= 150000 kg, v1= 0.25 m/s, m2= 1000000 kg, v2= 0.32 m/s

150000 × 0.25+ 1000000×0.32= (150000+1000000)×v3

37500+ 320000= 1150000×v3

357500= 1150000×v3

v3= 0.311 m/s

<h3>What is elastic collision velocity? </h3>
  • The velocity of the target particle after a head-on elastic impact in which the projectile is significantly more massive than the target will be roughly double that of the projectile, but the projectile velocity will remain virtually unaltered.
