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

An object is thrown upward from the top of a 144​-foot building with an initial velocity of 128 feet per second. The height h of
ankoles [38]

Answer:

After 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

We equation of motion given as h = -16t²+128t+144,

We need to find in how many seconds will the object hit the ground,

That is we need to find time when h = 0

                        0 = -16t²+128t+144

                       16t²-128t-144= 0

                       t=\frac{-(-128)\pm \sqrt{(-128)^2-4\times 16\times (-144)}}{2\times 16}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm \sqrt{25600}}{32}\\\\t=\frac{128\pm 160}{32}\\\\t=9s\texttt{ or }t=-1s

Negative time is not possible, hence after 9 seconds the object reaches ground.

Anyone know how this work ?? <br> If u know help me it is an exam
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

D) This is the correct answer

Explanation:

In this exercise the two ball loads are suspended by a thread.

To answer this exercise, let us remember that charges of the same sign repel and charges of a different sign attract.

Therefore, for the system to maintain equilibrium, the two charges must be of the same sign.

When examining the different proposals

A) in this case, as a sphere has no charge, there is no electric force and the induced charge is of the opposite sign, so the spheres attract each other

B) in this case there is an electric force, but being of a different sign, the force is attractive so the system is not in equilibrium

C) as the charges are of different magnitude the system does not have equal angles

D) This is the correct answer, since the charges have the same magnitude and are of the same sign, so the force is repulsive and is counteracted by the weight component

Bernice draws an oxygen atom. She draws a small circle for the nucleus. Inside of the circle, she draws plus signs for protons a
Lelu [443]

Answer

It should be A and C

Explanation:

because oxygen is number 8 in the periodic table of elements and has a atomic weight of 15.999 you use those numbers to figure out what is true between those.

The 8 for oxygen goes for the number of electrons and proton and to find neutrons u round the 15.999 up which now make it 16 and subtract it by the 8 now you have 8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons
