Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s

ame location as Rock X. Both rocks fall for several seconds before landing on the ground directly below the cliff. Frictional forces are considered to be negligible. After Rock Y is released from rest several seconds after Rock X is released from rest, what happens to the separation distance S between the rocks as they fall but before they reach the ground, and why? Take the positive direction to be downward. S is constant because at the moment Rock Y is released, the only difference between the rocks is their difference in height above the ground. (B) S is constant because the difference in speed between the two rocks stays constant as they fall C S increases because the difference in speed between the two rocks increases as they fall S increases because at all times Rock X falls with a greater speed than Rock Y

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂

Science Seminar Question: Why did Vehicle 2 fall off the cliff in Claire's test of the collision scene but Vehicle 2 did not fal
asambeis [7]

Complete Question:

Check the file attached to get the complete question

Answer:

In the film Ice word Revenge, vehicle 2 did not fall of the cliff because, Weight_{vehicle 1} < Weight_{vehicle 2} but in Claire's test, vehicle 2 off the cliff because Weight_{vehicle 1} \geq Weight_{vehicle 2}

Explanation:

In Claire's test, the weight of vehicle 1 is either equal to or greater than the weight of vehicle 2, so it was sufficient to push it down the cliff.  In the film Ice word revenge, the weight of vehicle 1 is less than the weight of vehicle 2, it is not sufficient to make it fall off the cliff ( Note: Looking exactly the same in the movie, as Claire claimed, does not mean they have the same mass). Therefore if Claire wants a collision that will not make the vehicle 2 fall off the cliff, he should collide it with a vehicle of lesser mass/weight.

A 2400W electric toaster is connected to a standard 120 V wall outlet. A family
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

1)  energy = 15.6 kWh,  2)    total_cost = $ 2.03

Explanation:

1) The energy dissipated is the product of the power and the time of use In a month it was used t = 6.5 h and the power of the toaster is

P = 2400 W = 2,400 kW

       energy = P  t

       energy = 2,400  6.5

        energy = 15.6  kWh

using rounding to a decimal

        energy = 15.6 kWh

2) The cost of energy is unit_cost = $ 0.13 / kWh

so the total cost

         total_cost = energy    unit_cost

         total_cost = 15.6   0.13

         total_cost = $ 2.028  

rounding to two decimal places

         total_cost = $ 2.03

A mass m is attached to a string connected to a force sensor on a rotating platform. The platform’s angular velocity, ω, can be
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm

Explanation:

Given

The platform is rotating with angular speed , \omega =8.5\, \frac{rad}{sec}

Mass m is moving on platform in a circle with radius , r=0.20\, m

Force sensor reading to which spring is attached , F=4.8\, N

Now for the mass m to move in circle the required centripetal force is given by F=m\omega ^{2}r

=>4.8=m\times 8.5 ^{2}\times 0.20

=>m=0.332\, kg

Thus the mass m is 0.332 kg or 332 gm
