Answer:

The rock must leave the cliff at a velocity of 28.2 m/s

Explanation:

The position vector of the rock at a time t can be calculated using the following equation:

r = (x0 + v0x · t, y0 + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0x = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

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

Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem. Notice that the origin of the frame of reference is located at the edge of the cliff so that x0 and y0 = 0.

When the rock reaches the ground, the position vector will be (see r1 in the figure):

r1 = (90 m, -50 m)

Then, using the equation of the vector position written above:

90 m = x0 + v0x · t

-50 m = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

Since x0 and y0 = 0:

90 m = v0x · t

-50 m = 1/2 · g · t²

Let´s use the equation of the y-component of the vector r1 to find the time it takes the rock to reach the ground and with that time we can calculate v0x:

-50 m = 1/2 · g · t²

-50 m = -1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

-50 m / -1/2 · 9.81 m/s² = t²

t = 3.19 s

Now, using the equation of the x-component of r1:

90 m = v0x · t

90 m = v0x · 3.19 s

v0x = 90 m / 3.19 s

v0x = 28.2 m/s

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The cornea of an eye is avascular

Explanation:

The healing process in case of a cornea transplant is slow, because the cornea is of an eye is avascular, i.e., it does not contain blood vessels and in the absence of the blood vessels in the cornea tissue the nutrients and oxygen is not able to get delivered there.

Thus the immune system, without the blood vessels in the cornea is weak and hence healing takes time in case of cornea transplant.

What the density of an object that has a volume of 20ml and mass of 3g.​
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The equation of D = m/V

Where D = density

m = mass

and V = volume

We are solving for V, so with the manipulation of variables we multiply V on both sides giving us  

V(D) = m  

now we divide D on both sides giving us

V = m/D  

We know our mass which is 600g and our density is 3.00 g/cm^3

so

V = 600g/3.00g/cm^3 = 200cm^3  or 200mL

a cubic centimeter (cm^3) is one of the units for volume. It's exactly like mL. 1 cm^3 = 1 mL

 

If you wish to change it to L, you'd have to convert
