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

Why is the light bulb not a closed system?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:An incandescent light bulb gives only energy of the system in the form of heat. ... The roof of a house is stable but it receives energy from the surroundings and transfers energy through it towards lower temperature side which includes no mass transfer. So, it is best considered as closed system.

A pilot is flying from DFW to NYC. The air traffic controller directs him to fly 69° Northeast at 243 m/s. What is the y compone
kolezko [41]

Answer:

v_{y} = 227 m/s

Explanation:

Assumptions: 0° is true North, and 90° is east (along the x-axis).

To solve this problem we must use the expression:

v_{y} = v_{0}sin(\theta)

Where v_{y} is the velocity in the y-direction (East), v_{0} is the total velocity in the direction which the aircraft is travelling, and \theta is the direction the aircraft is travelling (angle from the y-axis).

Using the equation above, we obtain the y-component of velocity

v_{y} = (243)sin(69) = 226.86... m/s which is rounded to 227 m/s (due to the number of significant figures in the question).
