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

At a speed of 60 mph, how far does your car travel in 3 seconds
Viefleur [7K]

One of the many random useless factoids that I carry around
in my head is the factoid that 60 miles per hour is equivalent
to exactly 88 feet per second.

So in three seconds at that speed, you would cover exactly

                       (3 x 88) = 264 feet.

If you put something like a piece of cardboard between a magnet and an iron nail, the magnet still holds the nail in place, even
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

A magnet has a field having lines of force around it that moves through the air which is a nonpermeable medium that allows the passage of magnetic field lines of force. The cardboard is a similar nonpermeable medium and the magnetic lines of force pass through to induce magnetism in the iron nail which is a ferromagnetic material that becomes magnetized by the magnetic field from the magnet

The induced magnetism in the iron nails causes the reverse poles to form in the iron with the iron domain's induced north pole pointing in the direction of the south pole of the magnet and vice versa

The iron nail is then attracted to the magnet as like poles attract, thereby holding the iron nail in place with the cardboard in between, without direct contact between the nail and the magnet as the cardboard prevents the magnet from touching the iron nail held in place
