I throw a ball off the edge of a 15.0m cliff. If I threw it horizontally at 8.0 m/s, how much time did it take to fall?

Just ignore the horizontal component 

if you have a vertical displacement of 15m, 0ms^1 initial velocity, end velocity is ignored, we know the acceleration due to gravity as 9.81ms^2 so we can work out the time using SUVAT

S=15
U=0
V=?
A=9.81
T=?

S=UT + 0.5 AT^2

UT=0

therefore,

S=0.5AT^2

rearrange to:

T=SQR (2S/A)

T = 1.75 seconds

Calculate the amount of heat liberated (in kj) from 411 g of mercury when it cools from 88.0°c to 12.0°c.
Katen [24]
You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.

ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>

The position-time equation for a cheetah chasing an antelope is:
pochemuha

Answer:

x = 1.6 + 1.7 t^2      omitting signs

a) at t = 0     x = 1.6 m

b) V = d x / d t = 3.4 t

at t = 0     V = 0

c) A = d^2 x / d t^2 = 3.4     (at t = 0  A = 3.4 m/s^2)

d)  x = 1.6 + 1.7 * (4.4)^2 = 34.5    (position at 4.4 sec = 34.5 m)

lesya [120]

Answer:

A: In all cases, the acceleration was the same.

Explanation:

I know this because its a clear obvious answer not only that it was one of my USA TESTPREP questions and it was right.

All you mainly have to do is the math - F=ma , In each case , the acceleration is 5 m/s squared
