First, calculate how long the ball is in midair. This will depend only on the vertical displacement; once the ball hits the ground, projectile motion is over. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, it originally has no vertical speed. 
t = time vi = initial vertical speed = 0m/s g = gravity = -9.8m/s^2 y = vertical displacement = -45m 
y = .5gt^2 [Basically, in this equation we see how long it takes the ball to fall 45m] -45m = .5 (-9.8m/s^2) * t^2 t = 3.03 s 
Now we know that the ball is midair for 3.03s. Since horizontal speed is constant we can simply use: 
x = horizontal displacement v = horizontal speed = 25m/s t = time = 3.03s 
x = v*t x = 25m/s * 3.03s = 75.76 m Thus, the ball goes about 75 or 76 m from the base of the cliff.

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the
Liono4ka [1.6K]
The energy of the ski lift at the base is kinetic energy:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the ski lift+the people carried, and v=15.5 m/s is velocity at the base.
As long as the ski lift goes upward, its velocity decreases and its kinetic energy converts into potential energy. Eventually, when it reaches the top, its final velocity is v=0, so no kinetic energy is left and it has all converted into gravitational potential energy, which is 
U=mgh
where g=9.81 m/s^2 and h is the height at the top of the hill.

So, since the total energy must conserve, we have
U=K
and so
mgh =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
from which we find the height:
h= \frac{v^2}{2g}= \frac{(15.5m/s)^2}{2\cdot 9.81 m/s^2}=12 m

Practice questions, will mark brainliest!
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

266.67Watts

Explanation:

Time = 2.5hr to seconds

3600s = 1hr

2.5hrs = 3600×2.5= 9000s

Force = 32N

Distance = 75km  to m

1000m = 1km

75km = 1000×75 = 75000m

Power = workdone / time

Work = force × distance

Therefore work = 32N × 75000m

Work = 2400000Nm

Power = work ➗ time

Power = 2400000Nm ➗ 9000s

Power = 266.67Watts

Watts is the S. i unit of power

I hope this was helpful, please mark as brainliest

What is an electric fuse? What is the working principle of electric fuse?
user100 [1]
<h2>What is an electric fuse?</h2><h3>Answer: Electric fuse is a safety device used to limit the current in an electric circuit which melts and breaks the circuit whenever there is an excess flow of current through the circuit.</h3><h2>What is the working principle of electric fuse?</h2><h3>An electric fuse is based on the principle of heating effect of electric current. It is made up of thin metallic wire of non-combustible material. A fuse is always connected between the ends of the terminal in a series connection with the circuit.</h3>
