15) A person stands on the edge of a cliff. She throws three identical rocks with the same speed. Rock X is thrown vertically up

ward, rock Y is thrown horizontally, and rock Z is thrown vertically downward. If the ground at the base of the cliff is level, which rock hits the ground with the greatest speed if there is no air resistance?
A) Rock X
B) Rock Y
C) Rock Z
D) They all hit the ground with the same speed.
Why is the answer D?

Explanation:

All three rocks start at the same height, so they have the same potential energy.  They also start with the same speed (even though they're in different directions), so they have the same kinetic energy.

Energy is conserved, so when they land, all the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.  Therefore, they must all have the same speed (though not necessarily the same direction).

kherson [118]
<span>Your mother is sure that you were driving too fast because
she knows how long it took you to get home and how far
you traveled. </span>

If she gets her calculator out of her sewing box and divides
the distance you covered by the time it took you to cover the
distance, the answer she gets will be your average speed.

A compact car has a mass of 1310 kg . Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that
Nady [450]

Answer:

a) k= 3232.30 N / m,  b)  f = 4,410 Hz

Explanation:

In this exercise, the car + spring system is oscillating in the form of a simple harmonic motion, as the four springs are in parallel, the force is the sum of the 4 Hocke forces.

The expression for the angular velocity is

          w = √k/m

the angular velocity is related to the period

          w = 2π / T

we substitute

          T = 2\pi  √m/ k

a) empty car

           k = 4π² m / T²

           k = 4 π² 1310/2 2

           k = 12929.18 N / m

This is the equivalent constant of the short springs

           F1 + F2 + F3 + F4 = k_eq x

           k x + kx + kx + kx = k_eq x

           k_eq = 4 k

           k = k_eq / 4

           k = 12 929.18 / 4

            k= 3232.30 N / m

b) the frequency of oscillation when carrying four passengers.

In this case the plus is the mass of the vehicle plus the masses of the passengers

            m_total = 1360 + 4 70

            m_total = 1640 kg

angular velocity and frequency are related

              w = 2pi f

we substitute

             2 pi f = Ra K / m

in this case the spring constant changes us

             k_eq = 12929.18 N / m

           

             f = 1 / 2π √ 12929.18 / 1640

             f = π / 2 2.80778

             f = 4,410 Hz

What happens to an electromagnetic wave when the frequency is doubled?
Artist 52 [7]
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always
the same number (the speed of the wave). 

So if the frequency is doubled, the wavelength has to drop to
half of what it was, in order to keep their product constant.

If wheel turning at a constant rate completes 100 revolutions in 10 s its angular speed is:
GenaCL600 [577]
The frequency of the wheel is given by:
f= \frac{N}{t}
where N is the number of revolutions and t is the time taken. By using N=100 and t=10 s, we find the frequency of the wheel:
f= \frac{100}{10 s}=10 s^{-1}

And now we can find the angular speed of the wheel, which is related to the frequency by:
\omega=2 \pi f=2 \pi (10 s^{-1})=62.8 s^{-1}
