A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 88 ft/s . What is the height of the cliff? (Use 32 ft/s 2 for

the acceleration due to gravity.)

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, which describe the change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled, that is,

v_f^2 = v_i^2 +2ah

Where,

v_f= Final Velocity

v_i = Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

h = height

Our values are given as,

v_f = 88 ft/s\\v_i = 0 ft /s\\a = 32 ft/s^2\\

Replacing we have,

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*h

88^2 = 0 + 2*32*h

h= 121 ft

Therefore the height of the cliff is 121ft

What can cause a production possibilities curve to move to the right?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Option D

a new invention lowers the cost of production

Explanation:

When there is a new invention lowers the cost of production, the production is likely to increase since the time allocated is as previous. Therefore, the curve moves to the right, to indicate a positive direction

a skydiver jumps out of a plane. describe how gravitational potential energy changes as the skydiver falls. describe how the sky
Oliga [24]

gravitational potential is directly proportional to the height of the object relative to a reference line and is given as

PE = mgh                        

where m = mass of object , g = acceleration due to                    

gravity   and  h = height of the object above the reference line .


as the skydiver falls , its height above the ground decrease and hence the gravitational potential energy of the skydiver decrease.

as per conservation of energy , total energy of the skydiver must remain constant all the time . hence the decrease in potential energy appears as increase in kinetic energy by same amount to keep the total energy constant

KE + PE = Total energy

so as the skydiver falls , it gains speed and hence the kinetic energy of skydiver increase since kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the speed.


when the parachute opens, the skydiver experience force in upward which tries to balance the weight of the skydiver. hence the speed of the skydiver decrease until upward force becomes equal to the downward force. hence the kinetic energy decrease just after the parachute opens

1. A 1,000-kg car has 50,000 joules of kinetic energy. What is its speed?
bulgar [2K]
Use KE= 1/2mv^2
So... 
50,000=(.5)(1,000)v^2
50,000=500 x v^2
Divide 500 on both sides 
100 = v^2 
Square root both sides to get rid of v^2 
Therefore v = 10 m/s
