Answer:

The height of the cliff is, h = 78.4 m

Explanation:

Given,

The horizontal velocity of the projectile, Vx = 20 m/s

The range of the projectile, s = 80 m

The projectile projected from a height is given by the formula

Therefore,

h = S²g/2Vx²

Substituting the values

h = 80² x 9.8/ (2 x 20²)

= 78.4 m

Hence, the height of the cliff is, h = 78.4 m

Are light waves longitudinal or transverse

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Transverse

Explanation:

There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.

9. A football punter attempts to kick the football so that it lands on the ground 67.0 m from where it is kicked and stays in th

vichka [17]

Answer:

Angle is 55.52°

and Initial Speed is v=26.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

$x_{o}=0m\\ y_{o}=1.23m\\a_{oy}=a_{1y}=g=-9.8m/s^{2} \\x_{1}=67.0m\\y_{1}=0m\\t_{o}=0\\a_{ox}=m/s^{2} \\t_{1}=4.50s$

Applying the kinematics equations for motion with uniform acceleration in x and y direction

$x_{1}=x_{o}+v_{ox}t_{1}=67.0m\\0+4.50v_{o}Cos\alpha =67.0m\\v_{o}Cos\alpha =14.99\\v_{o}=14.99/Cos\alpha.....(1) \\and\\y_{1}=y_{o}+v_{oy}t_{1}+(1/2)a_{oy}t_{1}^{2} =0m\\ 1+4.50v_{o}Sin\alpha+(-9.8/2)(4.5)^{2}=0\\ v_{o}Sin\alpha=21.828.....(2)$

Put the value of v₀ from equation (1) to equation (2)

$\frac{14.99}{Cos\alpha }(Sin\alpha ) =21.828\\as\\tan\alpha =Sin\alpha /Cos\alpha \\So\\14.99tan\alpha =21.828\\tan\alpha =21.828/14.99\\\alpha =tan^{-1}(21.828/14.99) \\\alpha =55.52^{o}$
