You are climbing in the High Sierra when you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a fog-shrouded cliff. To find the height of t

his cliff, you drop a rock from the top; 8.60 s later you hear the sound of the rock hitting the ground at the foot of the cliff.Part AIgnoring air resistance, how high is the cliff if the speed of sound is 330 m/s?Suppose you had ignored the time it takes the sound to reach you. In that case, would you have overestimated or underestimated the height of the cliff?a. underestimatedb. overestimated

Answer:

Height with sound ignored = Gravity x Time taken = 9.8 x 8.60 = 84.28 meters

Time taken by the sound = 84.28/330 = 0.255 seconds

Height with sound involved = (84.28 x 0.255) + 84.28 = 105.80 meters

a. Underestimated

sergey [27]

Answer:

The value of d is 183.51 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of car = 34.0 m/s

Suppose The car race in the circle parallel to the ground surface is at an angle 40°

The radius of circular path r = d\cos\theta

Normal force acting on the car = N

We need to calculate the value of d

Using component of normal force

The horizontal component of normal force is equal to the gravitational force.

N\cos\theta=mg....(I)

The vertical component of normal force is equal to the centripetal force

N\sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}.....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

\tan\theta=\dfrac{v^2}{gr}

Put the value of g

\tan\theta=\dfrac{v^2}{g\times d\cos\theta}

v^2=\tan\theta\times g\times d\cos\theta

v^2=g\times d\sin\theta

d=\dfrac{v^2}{g\sin\theta}

Put the value into the formula

d=\dfrac{(34.0)^2}{9.8\times\sin40}

d=183.51\ m

Hence, The value of d is 183.51 m.

A car is moving from rest and the velocity increases to 30 m/s in 4 seconds. Calculate its acceleration.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

7.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 30 m/s

t = 4 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

(30 m/s) = a (4 s) + (0 m/s)

a = 7.5 m/s²

TECHNOLOGY A Lamborghini Aventador accelerates from rest to 100 km / h in 2.9 s. The mass of the car is 1575 kg Calculate the po
DerKrebs [107]

At 100 km/hr, the car's kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (1575 kg) ( [100 km/hr] x [1000 m/km] x [1 hr/3600 sec] )²

KE = (787.5 kg) (27.78 m/s)²

KE = 607,639 Joules

In order to deliver this energy in 2.9 seconds, the engine must supply

(607,639 J / 2.9 sec) = 209,531 watts

<em>Power = 281 HP</em>

PLease Help!
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The instantaneous acceleration = Change in velocity in velocity/Time taken

The slope of the graph should give instantaneous acceleration.

 Slope of a graph = Change in value of Y -axis / Change in values of X -axis

 Comparing both the equations

   Change in value of Y -axis = Change in velocity in velocity

   Change in values of X -axis = Time taken

So velocity values should be on the Y axis and Time values should be on the X axis.

Option A is the correct answer.
