A girl throws a stone from a bridge. Consider the following ways she might throw the stone. The speed of the stone as it leaves

her hand is the same in each case, and air resistance is negligible.Case A: Thrown straight up.Case B: Thrown straight down.Case C: Thrown out at an angle of 45 above horizontal.Case D: Thrown straight out horizontally.In which case will the speed of the stone be greatest when it hits the water below?

Answer:

the velocity in all the cases will be same.

Explanation:

given,

girl throws a stone from the bridge

air is friction less

we have to find from the given cases in which case the velocity of stone will be greatest.

According to Work energy theorem work done by the sum of all the force is equal to kinetic energy.

As the air is frictionless hence the speed depend upon the height from which the stone is thrown.

height in all the cases is same.

so, the velocity in all the cases will be same.

The speed of the stone hitting the water below will be the same for every case.

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

\large {\boxed {a = \frac{v - u}{t} } }

\large {\boxed {d = \frac{v + u}{2}~t } }

<em>a = acceleration ( m/s² )</em>

<em>v = final velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>u = initial velocity ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = time taken ( s )</em>

<em>d = distance ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

height of the stone = h

initial speed of the stone = u

<u>Unknown:</u>

final speed of the stone = v = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Case A:</h3>

v^2 = u^2 -2gh

v^2 = u^2 - 2g(-h)

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

\boxed {v = \sqrt{u^2 + 2gh}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Case B:</h3>

v^2 = u^2 - 2gh

v^2 = (-u)^2 - 2g(-h)

v^2 = u^2 + 2gh

\boxed {v = \sqrt{u^2 + 2gh}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Case C:</h3>

v_x = u \cos \theta

\texttt{ }

(v_y)^2 = (u \sin \theta)^2 - 2gh

(v_y)^2 = (u \sin \theta)^2 - 2g(-h)

(v_y)^2 = (u \sin \theta)^2 + 2gh

\texttt{ }

v^2 = (v_x)^2 + (v_y)^2

v^2 = (u \cos \theta)^2 + (u \sin \theta)^2 + 2gh

v^2 = u^2 ( \cos^2 \theta + \sin^2 \theta) + 2gh

v^2 = u^2 (1) + 2gh

\boxed{v = \sqrt{u^2 + 2gh}}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Case D:</h3>

v_x = u \cos \theta

v_x = u \cos 0^o

v_x = u

\texttt{ }

(v_y)^2 = (u \sin \theta)^2 - 2gh

(v_y)^2 = (u \sin 0^o)^2 - 2g(-h)

(v_y)^2 = (0)^2 + 2gh

(v_y)^2 = 2gh

\texttt{ }

v^2 = (v_x)^2 + (v_y)^2

v^2 = (u)^2 + 2gh

\boxed{v = \sqrt{u^2 + 2gh}}

\texttt{ }

From information above , we could conclude that the speed of the stone hitting the water below will be the same for every case.

Transform boundaries are classified under which type of fault?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Strike-slip fault

Explanation:

Transform boundaries play the role of connecting the other plate boundary segments.

When the plates are rubbed against each other, they result in enormous amount of stresses which leads to the breaking of the part of a rock causing earthquakes. Places of occurrence of these breaks are termed as faults.

Strike slip faults results from compression which takes place horizontally, but but in this the rock displacement  releases energy and takes place in a horizontal direction which is parallel to the force of compression.

What is the specific heat of an object if it takes 1200 J to raise the temperature of a 20 kg object by 6 degrees C?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat required, Q = 1200 J

Mass of the object, m = 20 kg

The increase in temperature, \Delta T=6^{\circ} C

We need to find the specific heat of the object. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{1200}{20\times 6}\\\\c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

So, the specific heat of the object is 10\ J/kg^{\circ} C.
