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 car is being driven at a rate of 60 ft/sec when the brakes are applied. The car decelerates at a constant rate of 19
Hunter-Best [27]

The car will take 300 m before it stops due to applying break.

<h3>What's the relation between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and distance?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion, V² - U² = 2aS
  • V= final velocity velocity of the object, U = initial velocity velocity of the object, a= acceleration, S = distance covered by the object
  • Here, U = 60 ft/sec, V = 0 m/s, a= -6 ft/sec²
  • So, 0² - 60² = 2×6× S

=> -3600 = -12S

=> S = 3600/12 = 300 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance covered by the car is 300 m before it stopped.

Technician A says that the battery must be in good condition and at least 75% charged to accurately test an alternator. Technici
aalyn [17]

Answer:Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A statement is correct as  

The battery is required to start the vehicle which, in effect, rotates the alternator at sufficient speed to keep the battery charged. This means if the battery is low it is not possible to start the vehicle and thus we are unable to test the alternator.  

That is the battery is pre-requisite to test the alternator. So the battery must be at least a 75 % charge to test the alternator.
