A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 88 ft/s . What is the height of the cliff? (Use 32 ft/s 2 for

bulgar [2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations, which describe the change in velocity, depending on the acceleration and the distance traveled, that is,

$v_f^2 = v_i^2 +2ah$

Where,

$v_f$ = Final Velocity

$v_i$ = Initial Velocity

a = Acceleration

h = height

Our values are given as,

$v_f = 88 ft/s\\v_i = 0 ft /s\\a = 32 ft/s^2\\$

Replacing we have,

$vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*h$

$88^2 = 0 + 2*32*h$

$h= 121 ft$

Therefore the height of the cliff is 121ft

Calculate the index of refraction for a medium in which the speed of light is 2.1x 108 m/s. The speed of light in vacuum is 3x10

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

n = 1.42

Explanation:

The refractive index for a medium is given by the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to the speed of light in a medium.

$n=\dfrac{c}{v}\\\\n=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{2.1\times 10^8}\\\\n = 1.42$

So, the refractive index of the medium is 1.42.

C. hydrogen accreted onto a white dwarf from a close companion rapidly fuses to helium, releasing a large amount of energy.

The accreted material, composed mainly of hydrogen, is compacted on the surface of the white dwarf due to the intense gravitational force on that place. As material accumulates, The white dwarf becomes increasingly hot, until it reaches the critical temperature for ignition of nuclear fusion.

What is true about resistance? Check all that apply. A. It is the excess accumulation of electric charge B. It is measured in oh

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

B, C and E

Explanation:

The unit of resistance in the international system is the Ohm, the equation that describes the resistance is:

$R=p\frac{l}{S} \\$

Where (l) is for lenght of the wire, (S) is the area and (p) its the constant associated to the conductor.

It's related by the Ohm's Law:

$R=\frac{V}{I}$
