On top of a cliff of height h, a spring is compressed 5m and launches a projectile perfectly horizontally with a speed of 75 m s

. It hits the ground with speed 90 m s . How high above the ground was the cliff? (Hint: use energy conservation to make the problem easier!)

Answer:

The height of the cliff is 121.276 m

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the projectile, v₁ = 75 m/s

final velocity of the projectile, v₂ = 90 m/s

spring compression = 5 m

Apply the law of conservation of energy;

mgh₀ + ¹/₂mv₁² = mgh₂ + ¹/₂mv₂²

gh₀ + ¹/₂v₁² = gh₂ + ¹/₂v²

gh₁  - gh₂ = ¹/₂v₂² - ¹/₂v₁²

g(h₀  - h₂) = ¹/₂ (v₂² - v₁²)

h₀  - h₂ = ¹/₂g (v₂² - v₁²)

h₀ = h(cliff) + 5m

when the projectile hits the ground, Final height, h₂ = 0

h_o - 0 = \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\h_{cliff} + 5= \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\h_{cliff}  = \frac{1}{2g}(v_2^2-v_1^2) - 5\\\\h_{cliff}  = \frac{1}{2*9.8}(90^2-75^2) - 5\\\\h_{cliff} = 121.276 \ m

Therefore, the height of the cliff is 121.276 m

Which property of X-rays allows them to enter our bodies and create pictures of our bones and other internal structures?
Degger [83]

Answer:

(A) Their high energy

Explanation:

The higher the energy of the x-ray the more "likely" they will pass through.

The x-ray is electromagnetic energy caused by energy changes in an electron.

X-ray are energetic and have enough energy to break up molecules. That is what reveals the bad or damaged cells in our body.

During an auto accident, the vehicle's air bags deploy and slow down the passengers more gently than if they had hit the windshi
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

At a deceleration of 60g, or 60 times the acceleration due to gravity a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop

Explanation:

The maximum acceleration of the airbag = 60 g, and the duration of the acceleration = 36 ms or 36/1000 s or 0.036 s

To find out how far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g

we write out the equation of motion thus.

S = ut + 0.5at²

wgere

S = distance to come to complete stop

u = final velocoty = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = 60g = 60 × 9.81

t = time = 36 ms

as can be seen, the above equation calls up the given variable as a function of the required variable thus

S = 0×0.036 + 0.5×60×9.81×0.036² = 0.38 m

At 60g, a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop

Milk has a density of 1.035 g/ml and olive oil has a density of 0.850 g/ml. Which has more mass
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Milk.

Explanation:

Density is used to describe how much space an object or substance takes up in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass).

Another way to put it is that, density of a substance is the amount of mass of that substance per unit volume. If an object is heavy and compact, it has a high density.

Density = mass/volume

So,

Milk = 1.035 g of milk per 1 ml

Olive oil = 0.85 g of olive oil in 1 ml.

Therefore, milk has a higher mass.

For an atom to be neutral the amount of ? and? must be equal
maks197457 [2]

Answer: Well first of all, for an Atom to be neutral, it shall have an equal number of the protons and the neutrons. So given that, the protons are able to be positively charged and since the electrons are negatively charged (Protons and Electrons are completely different from each other) then that means the Algebric are aggregated of charges because it equal to zero. So overall, the 'neutral atom' has to be neutral, and how? Protons must equal the number of electrons or else it wouldn't be considered neutral.

Hopefully this helps you very much!! :-) Have a great daayy!
