Answer:

h = 67.081 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken by a person to fall down is, t = 2.2 s

The height of the cliff from the ground, h = ?

The distance that the person will fall through the time is given by the formula

S = 1/2 gt² m

Where,

g - acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation

S = 1/2 x 9.8 m/s² x (3.7 s)²

= 67.081 m

Therefore, the height of the cliff from the ground is, h = 67.081 m

Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the number of slits increases, the intensity of fringes increases.

So, the fringes appear to be more bright.

As we know that the fringe width is inversely proportional to the number of slits, so as the number of slits increases, the fringe width decreases, hence the fringes are narrower, bright and close together.

A 6 ft tall person walks away from a 10 ft lamppost at a constant rate of 5 ft/s. What is the rate (in ft/s) that the tip of the

nalin [4]

Answer:

12.5 ft/s

Explanation:

Height of person = 6 ft

height of lamp post = 10 ft

According to the question,

dx / dt = 5 ft/s

Let the rate of tip of the shadow moves away is dy/dt.

According to the diagram

10 / y = 6 / (y - x)

10 y - 10 x = 6 y

y = 2.5 x

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

dy / dt = 2.5 dx / dt

dy / dt = 2.5 (5) = 12.5 ft /s

If the net work done on an object is zero, what can you determine about the object's kinetic energy?(A) The object's kinetic ene

aev [14]

Answer:

(D) The object's kinetic energy is zero.

Explanation:

Work theory

Work (W) is defined as the product of force F) by the distance (d)the body travels due to this force:

W= F*d Formula ( 1)

The component of the force that performs work must be parallel to the displacement.

Kinetic Energy Theory

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with bodies that are in motion, depends on the mass and speed of the body.

Ek =(1/2)*m*v²

The kinetic energy, Ek, is measured in joules (J), the mass, m, is measured in kilograms (kg) and the velocity, v, in meters / second (m / s).

Relationship between work and kinetic energy

A body remains at rest if the force applied is zero or if it does not move. In both cases the work will be zero.

For work and kinetic energy to have a non-zero value, the body must be in motion.

In other words, the work is equal to zero if there is no displacement, so its speed will be zero, the same as its kinetic energy.
