A person stands on top of a tall building holding two rocks at a height of 50 meters. At the same moment, one rock is dropped fr

om rest while the other is thrown downwards with an initial velocity of 8.0 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, calculate how long after the first rock lands does the second rock strike the ground

Answer

The second rock will land 2.4s after the first rock

Explanation:

Given that

Height of the building s=50m

We assume that the first rock is acting with gravity so that a=9.81m/s

And initial velocity u=0

Applying the equation of motion

S=ut+1/2at²

50=0*t+1/2(9.81)t²

50=4.905t²

t²=50/4.905

t²=10.19

t=√10.19

t=3.19sec

For the second rock initial velocity u=8m/s and v=0 and a=9.81

Applying the equation of motion

v=u+at

0=8+9.81t

t=-8/9.81

t=0.81sec

Hence the second rock will land 2.4s after the first rock

I.e

3.19-0.81

An ice cream truck is going 25m/s to the East. It accelerates to 45m/s in the same direction over 5s. What is its acceleration?
Naya [18.7K]

Hello!

We can use the kinematic equation:
a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

a = acceleration (m/s²)

vf = final velocity (45 m/s)
vi = initial velocity (25 m/s)

t = time (5 sec)

Plug in the givens:
a = \frac{45-25}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = \boxed{4 m/s^2}

Answer the question in the picture make your response simple but to where it gives a full answer! I need a response ASAP!
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: A river delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs when a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment.

If you set the cruise control of your car to a certain speed and take a turn, the speed of the car will remain the same. Is the
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Yes, the car has acceleration.

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. The velocity is a vector quantity. If a car is moving with constant speed but taking a turn, it means the velocity is changing, so the car have some acceleration.
