The ability of solid rock to flow is called Plasticity.

Plasticity is the deformation of a solid mateial which resulted in non reversible changes of shape in response to applied force.

Another example of plasticity is when you bend metal through a forcer force to create an art or kitchen set

Answer:

Frequency of the light will be equal to $6.97\times 10^{1}Hz$

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the light $\lambda =430nm=430\times 10^{-9}m$

Velocity of light is equal to $v=3\times 10^8m/sec$

We have to find the frequency of light

We know that velocity is equal to $v=\lambda f$ , here $\lambda$ is wavelength and f is frequency of light

So frequency of light will be equal to $f=\frac{v}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{430\times 10^{-9}}=6.97\times 10^{1}Hz$

So frequency of the light will be equal to $6.97\times 10^{1}Hz$

Answer:

a) They will hit the ground with a speed of 19.6 m/s.

b) They are at a height of 20 m.

c) It is not a safe jump.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The equations of height and velocity in function of time of a free falling body are the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

h = height of the object at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering downward as negative direction).

v = velocity of the object at time t.

Using the equation of velocity, let's find the velocity at which they will hit the ground. The pebble is dropped (initial velocity = 0) and it takes 2 s to reach the ground:

v = v0 + g · t (v0 = 0)

v = g · t

v = -9.8 m/s² · 2.0 s

v = -19.6 m/s

They will hit the ground with a speed of 19.6 m/s.

b)Now, we have to use the equation of height:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

If we place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground, we have to find the initial height (h0) knowing that at t = 2.0 s, h = 0 m

0 m = h0 - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.0 s)²

h0 = 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · (2.0 s)²

h0 = 20 m

They are at a height of 20 m.

c)According to a NASA paper (Issues on Human Acceleration Tolerance After Long-Duration Space Flights, figure 10), if you fall with a vertical velocity greater than 17 m/s it is unlikely that you will survive. So, it is not a safe jump.
