Answer:

the height of the cliff is equal to 108.241 m

Explanation:

given,

initial speed of the stone horizontally  = 9 m/s

vertical speed of the stone = 0 m/s

time taken of the trajectory = 4.7 s

using equation of motion

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s =0 \times 4.7 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 4.7^2

s = 0 + 4.9 \times 4.7^2

s = 4.9 \times 22.09

s = 108.241 m

hence, the height of the cliff is equal to 108.241 m

A particle moves along the x-axis so that its velocity at anytime is t greater than or equal to 0 is given by v(t)=1-sin(2pi t)
UkoKoshka [18]
A) We differentiate the expression for velocity to obtain an expression for acceleration:
v(t) = 1 - sin(2πt)
dv/dt = -2πcos(2πt)
a = -2πcos(2πt)

b) Any value of t can be plugged in as long as it is greater than or equal to 0. 

c) we integrate the expression of velocity to find an expression for displacement:
∫v(t) dt = ∫ 1 - sin(2πt) dt
x(t) = t + cos(2πt)/2π + c
x(0) = 0
0 = = + cos(0)/2π + c
c = -1/2π
x(t) = t + cos(2πt)/2π -1/2π

An astronaut takes an object to the moon where there is less gravity. Explain how the mass and weight of the object on the moon
alexandr1967 [171]
The mass of the object will remain the same rather it's on the moon or on the Earth and even in other places. But the weight will change on the moon, so its weight will be different from the one it had on Earth

An object has a kinetic energy of 175 J and a momentum of magnitude 25.0 kg m/s. Find the
DedPeter [7]

Answer:14 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy(ke)=175J

Momentum(M)=25kgm/s

Speed=v

Mass=m

Ke=(m x v x v)/2

175=(mv^2)/2

Cross multiply

175 x 2=mv^2

350=mv^2

Momentum=mass x velocity

25=mv

m=25/v

Substitute m=25/v in 350=mv^2

350=25/v x v^2

350=25v^2/v

v^2/v=v

350=25v

v=350/25

v=14 m/s
