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

" When she has fallen for 3.0 s, she hears the echo of her shout from the valley floor below. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. (a) How tall is the cliff? (b) If we ignore air resistance, how fast will she be moving just before she hits the ground? (Her actual speed will be less than this, due to air resistance.)

Answer:

532.0725 m

102.17270893 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = g

H = Height of cliff

Distance traveled in 3 seconds

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 3^2\\\Rightarrow s=44.145\ m

Distance traveled by sound = 2H-44.145 m

2H-44.145=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2H-44.145=340\times 3\\\Rightarrow H=\dfrac{340\times 3+44.145}{2}\\\Rightarrow H=532.0725\ m

The height of the cliff is 532.0725 m

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 532.0725+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=102.17270893\ m/s

Her speed just before she hits the ground is 102.17270893 m/s

The speed is equal to the area under the line up to the point where t .=15 s.
Do find the area of the triangle and that if the rectangle and add them together.
The area of the triangle is 25 and the rectangle is also 25 so the speed is 50 m/s

The gravitational force between two objects is f. If masses of both objects are halved without changing distance between them, t
Marrrta [24]

The gravitation force is quartered when two objects' masses are halved without changing their distance.

Gravitational law states that the force of attraction and repulsion between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

F=(KM1 M2)/r^2

K= Gravitation force constant

M1M2 = masses of the object

r = distance between objects

When M1 and M2 are halved, it becomes M1/2 and M2/2

F=(K M1/2 x M2/2)/r^2

F=(K (M1 x M2)/4)/r^2

F=(KM1 x M2)/(4r^2 )

Recall

F=(KM1 x M2)/r^2

Therefore

F=F/4

A 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall.
Dahasolnce [82]
The bowling ball is at rest, so it only has gravitational potential energy.

Ug = mgy
Ug = (2)(9.8)(40) = 784 J
