A ball is thrown upwards from the edge of a cliff. The horizontal velocity and vertical velocity are both 20m/s the distance fro

m the ball to the bottom of the cliff is 100m/s. How high does the ball go? How long does it take the ball to hit the ground, from the time it leaves the child's hand?

Answer:

20m

6.9s

Explanation:

The vertical velocity of the ball is 20m/s. We can calculate the kinetic energy which gets transferred to potential energy once it gets to the top.

E_k = E_p

0.5mv^2 = mgh

h = \frac{0.5v^2}{g}

we can subtitute v = 20m/s and g = 10m/s2

h = \frac{0.5*20^2}{10} = 20 m

So the ball could go 20m high from the child hand, or 120m fro the bottom of the cliff.

The time it takes for the ball to travels to the top is the time it takes for it to decelerate from 20m/s to 0m/s with gravitational deceleration g = 10m/s2

t = v / g = 20 / 10 = 2s

Then the ball will start accelerating down ward with a constant acceleration of g = 10m/s. In order to cover distance d of 120m from the top to the bottom of the cliff

d = \frac{gt_2^2}{2}

t^2 = \frac{2d}{g} = \frac{2*120}{10} = 24

t = \sqrt{24} = 4.9s

So the total time it takes is 4.9 + 2 = 6.9s

Lelu [443]
Surface air pressure is a consequence of the weight of the air acting on its surface. For example, if you are standing on Mars, the pressure around you is what you call the surface air pressure. Thus, that surface air pressure must be 0.007 atm.

How does a generator work?
insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

Compare and contrast the particle motion in each state of matter
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. ... gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
