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

Imagine you are mpho:how can you help your friend (phenyo) not to be influenced by media? you really feel she needs some help be
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

One of the ways to help someone not to be influenced by media is:

  • Encourage independent thinking.
  • Let her know that she should make sure the information she is consuming is free from bias and is factual.

<h3>What is Media Influence?</h3>

This refers to the effects and reactions which the mass media has on the people who listen to them by shaping their views and by controlling the narrative.

With this in mind, we can note that if a person is overtly influenced by the media, then such a person lacks independent thinking and becomes emotional by what he watches on the television or reads from an online source.

This can be changed through the encouragement of independent thinking, and the need to check for factual information from the media news and also to focus more on studies.
