An inquisitive physics student and mountain climber climbs a 48.0-m-high cliff that overhangs a calm pool of water. He throws tw

Answer:

a) The two stones hit the water 2.91 s after the release of the first stone.

b) The initial velocity of the second stone must be 15.8 m/s vertically downward.

c) The velocity of each stone when they reach the water is:

First stone : -30.7 m/s

Second stone: -34.5 m/s

Explanation:

The height and velocity of the stones can be calculated using the following equations:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time "t".

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity at time "t".

a) If we place the origin of the frame of reference on the water, then, the height of both stones when they hit the water will be 0. Using the equation of height for the first stone, we can obtain the time when the height is 0:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 48.0 m -2.18 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

0 = 48.0 m - 2.18 m/s · t - 4.91 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation:

t = 2.91 s

The two stones hit the water 2.91 s after the release of the first stone.

b) The second stone reaches the water in (2.91 s - 1.00 s) 1.91 s after released (remember that it was released 1.00 s after the first stone but both reached the water simultaneously). Then, using the equation of height, we can obtain the initial velocity knowing that at t = 1.91 s, y = 0:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 = 48.0 m + v0 · 1.91 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (1.91 s)²

(-48.0 m + 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (1.91 s)²) / 1.91 s = v0

v0 = -15.8 m/s

The initial velocity of the second stone must be 15.8 m/s vertically downward.

c) We have to use the equation of velocity for each stone. We already know the time when the stones reach the water and the initial velocities:

First stone:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -2.18 m/s - 9.81 m/s² · 2.91 s

v = -30.7 m/s

Second stone:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -15.8 m/s - 9.81 m/s² · 1.91 s

v = -34.5 m/s

The velocity of each stone when they reach the water is:

First stone : -30.7 m/s

Second stone: -34.5 m/s

If we ignore air resistance, a falling body will fall 16t2 feet in t seconds. What is the average velocity between t
erik [133]

Answer:

<em>262.4 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

If we ignore air resistance, a falling body will fall 16t^2 feet in t seconds. What is the average velocity between t=8 and t=8.4? Round your answer to two decimal places if necessary.

The distance fallen s = 16t^2

The velocity v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 32t

If we substitute the values of t into the velocity v, we'll have

at t = 8 s,     V1 = 32 x 8 = 256 m/s

at t = 8.4 s,  V2 = 32 x 8.4 = 268.8 m/s

Average velocity = (V2 - V1)/2 = (268.8 + 256)/2 = <em>262.4 m/s</em>

Which sentence provides evidence that heat travels from Earth’s mantle up to its crust?
olasank [31]

B. Earth’s outer surface is cooler than its interior layers.

Explanation:

  • The option given above is showing us that the temperature in the interior of the earth is higher than the temperature in the outer layer.
  • There is travel of heat from the inner core of the earth to the earth's crust. Due to the loss of heat when it reaches the outer layer, there arises a temperature difference.
  • The heat loss is due to the absorption of heat during its transfer. Hence, option B is the answer.
