The apparent displacement of an object as it is viewed from two different positions is known as

This phenomenon is known as parallax. The simplest example is this: if you are sitting in the passenger seat, the gas tank needle may appear to read empty. However, if you are the driver, you will see that you are not on empty, but should get some gas.

A physics teacher performing an outdoor demonstration suddenly falls from rest off a high cliff and simultaneously shouts "Help"

Digiron [165]

Answer: a) The cliff is 532.05m high

b) Her speed just before hitting the ground is 102.12 m/s

Explanation: To solve This, I'll use a sketch diagram, attached to this solution,

In 3seconds, the teacher heard the echo of her initial scream back. We can obtain the distance the teacher had fallen at the end of 3 seconds using the equations of motion,

Y1 = ut + 0.5g(t^2)

Since she's falling under the influence of gravity, her initial velocity, u = 0m/s, g = 9.8m/s2, t = 3s

Y1, distance she fell through in 3 seconds = 0.5×9.8(3^2) = 44.1m

Let the total height of the cliff be (44.1 + x); where is the remaining height of cliff that the teacher will fall through.

Using the equations of motion again, we can obtain distance travelled by the sound waves in 3s. sound waves travel with a constant speed of 340m/s, no acceleration,

Y2 = ut + 0.5g(t^2) where g = 0, u = 340m/s, t = 3seconds

Y2 = 340 × 3 = 1020m

But in 3 secs, the sound waves would have travelled through the total height of the cliff (44.1 + x) and back to the teacher's current height, x. That is, 1020 = 44.1 + x + x

x = 487.95m

So, total height of cliff = 44.1 + 487.95 = 532.05m

b) the speed of the teacher just before she hits the ground.

Using the equations of motion again,

(V^2) = (U^2) + 2gs

Where v is the final velocity to be calculated

U is the initial velocity = 0m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s2

S is the total height she fell through, that is, the height of the cliff = 532.05m

(V^2) = 0 + 2×9.8×532.05 = 10428.18

V = √(10428.18) = 102.12m/s

The relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity

bonufazy [111]

In linear motion , when a body moves with uniform velocity , in time t , its linear displacement will be ;

S = r∅ S = vt

r∅ = vt

r.∅ / t = v

v = rw

where ∅ = 90° is the angle between between radius vector r and angular velocity w (omega )

In case ∅ ≠ 90° , we can write v = r w sin∅

It gives us v = w× r

A measure of the disoder of a system is called ____

musickatia [10]

Answer: Entropy is basically a thermodynamic quantity that tells the randomness of a system or as said in the question tells us a measure of the disorder of the system. The second law of thermodynamics states that a closed system has entropy which may remain constant
