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

An electric drill rated at 400 W is connected to a 240V power line. How much current does it draw?
disa [49]

Answer:

1.67 A

Explanation:

Given that,

→ Power (P) = 400 W

→ Potential difference (V) = 240 V

→ Current (I) = ?

The amount of current drawn will be,

→ P = V × I

→ I = P/V

→ I = 400/240

→ I = 1.66666666667

→ [ I = 1.67 A ]

Hence, the current drawn 1.67 A.

If the fly experienced a force of 100 N when it hits how big was the force on the vehicle in this collision
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

because newton's third law of motion states that if body A exerts a force on the body B, then Body B will exert an equal force but opposite in direction force on body A

so if the fly experienced 100N, then the car will also experience 100N

hope you get it
