You are climbing in the high sierra when you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a fog-shrouded cliff. to find the height of t

his cliff, you drop a rock from the top; 10.0 s later you hear the sound of the rock hitting the ground at the foot of the cliff.

Answer:

height of the cliff would be

H = 385.25 m

Explanation:

here when we drop the stone from the cliff then first stone will hit the rock and then the sound of hitting the rock will come to us.

So here this total time is given as t = 10 s

now we know here that time to fall the stone is given by kinematics

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}

now the time to travel the sound from bottom to us is given as

t' = \frac{H}{340}

here we assume that speed of sound is 340 m/s

now we have

t + t' = 10 s

\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}} + \frac{H}{340} = 10

by solving above equation we have

H = 385.25 m

The total time it takes the sound to reach our on top of the cliff (10.0 s) is actually sum of two times:
- the time it takes the rock to hit the ground starting from the top of the cliff, t1
- the time it takes the sound to reach the top of the cliff starting from the ground, t2
1) The rock moves by uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2. Its law of motion is given by y(t)=h-v_0t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2, where v_0=0 is the initial velocity of the rock, and h is the height of the cliff. The time t1 is the time at which the rock reaches the ground, so that y(t1)=0, and the equation becomes
0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2
2) The sound moves from the ground to the top of the cliff by uniform motion, with constant speed v=343 m/s. Therefore, the sound covers the distance h (the height of the cliff) in a time t2 given by
h=vt_2
3) If we rewrite h in both equations, we can write:
=\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2=vt_2 (1)
4) We also know that the sum of t1 and t2 is equal to 10 seconds:
t_1+t_2=10
from which we find
t_2=10-t_1
if we substitute this into eq.(1), we get
\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2+vt_1-10v=0
Numerically:
4.9t_1^2 + 343 t_1 - 3430=0
Solving the equation, we find the solution t_1=8.87 s (the other solution is negative, so it does not have physical meaning). As a consequence,
t_2 = 10-t_1 = 1.13 s
and the height of the cliff is given by
<span>h=vt_2=(343 m/s)(1.13 s)=388 m</span>

HELPPP PLEASE !!!!!!!
vlabodo [156]

Explanation:

a) d = ½.a.t²

200 = ½(4)t²

200 = 2t²

t² = 200/2

t² = 100

t =√100 = 10 s

b) Vt = a. t

= 4(10)

= 40 m/s

c) V av. = d/t = 200/10 = 20m/s

a man crossed a road 8.25m wide at a speed of 2.01m/s,how long does it take to get man to cross the road​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

t = 4.1 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Width of road which is to be crossed by a man is 8.25 m, it means it is distance to be covered.

Speed of man is 2.01 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the man to cross the road. It is a concept of speed. Speed of a person is given by total distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

t is time taken

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{8.25}{2.01}\\\\t=4.1\ s

So, the time taken by the man to cross the road is 4.1 seconds.

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 12.5 N accelerates at 6.2 m/s’ to the right. What is the mass of the ball? Answer in units
stepladder [879]

Answer:

m = 2.01[kg]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's second law which tells us that the force applied on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

F =m*a

where:

F = force = 12.5 [N]

m = mass [kg]

a = acceleration = 6.2 [m/s²]

12.5=m*6.2\\m = 2.01[kg]
