anyon floor. The stone just misses the cliff'a edge on its way down. (Neglect friction)

I thought you were going to ask how long it takes for the stone to hit
the canyon floor at the bottom of the cliff.  But you're not asking for
anything after the stone barely misses the edge of the cliff on its way
down, and you're only asking about things that happen above the
edge of the cliff. So we don't need to know anything about the cliff,
or its height above anything else.  The thrower might just as well be
standing in his front yard when he throws the stone straight up.

-- Gravity robs 9.8 m/s from the stone's upward speed every second.
So the stone reaches its maximum height, runs out of upward gas, and
starts falling, in  (20 / 9.8) = <em>2.04 seconds</em> after the toss.

-- Its average speed during that time is (1/2) (20 + 0) = 10 m/s .
In 2.04 seconds at that average speed, it rises (2.04 x 10) = <em>20.4 meters</em> .

The time taken by the stone to reach the maximum height above the cliff is \boxed{2.04\text{ s}} and the maximum height reached by the stone above the cliff is \boxed{20.4\text{ m}} .

Explanation:

Given:

The initial velocity of the stone is 20\text{ m/s}.

The height of the cliff is 100\text{ m}.

Concept:

As the stone is thrown upward from the top of the cliff, the stone will move under the action of the acceleration due to gravity. The speed of the stone will decrease as it moves up because the acceleration on the stone is acting in the direction opposite to its motion.

The speed of the stone at its maximum height will be zero where is comes to rest for a moment.

The time taken by the stone to reach the maximum height is given by:

\boxed{v_f=v_i-gt}

Here, v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration and t is the time taken by the stone.

Substitute the values in above expression.

\begin{aligned}0&=20-(9.81)t\\t&=\dfrac{20}{9.81}\text{ s}\\&=2.04\text{ s}\end{aligned}

The distance covered by the stone in reaching the maximum height is given by:

\boxed{v_f^2=v_i^2-2gS}

Here, S is the distance covered by the stone.

Substitute the values in above expression.

\begin{aligned}(0)^2&=(20)^2-2(9.81)S\\S&=\dfrac{400}{19.62}\text{ m}\\&=20.4\text{ m}\end{aligned}

Thus, The time taken by the stone to reach the maximum height above the cliff is \boxed{2.04\text{ s}} and the maximum height reached by the stone above the cliff is \boxed{20.4\text{ m}} .

A person using an oxygen mask is breathing air that is 33% oxygen. what is the partial pressure of the o2, when the air pressure
yawa3891 [41]
The partial pressure of the O2 is 36.3 kiloPascal when the air pressure in the mask is 110 kiloPascal based on the isotherm relation. This problem can be solved by using the isotherm relation equation which stated as Vx/Vtot = px/ptot, where V represents volume, p represents the pressure, x represents the partial gas, and tot represents the total gas<span>. Calculation: 33/100 = px/110 --> px = 36.3</span>

A student, who weighs 720N, is standing on a bathroom scale and riding an elevator that is moving downwards with a speed that is
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1) The mass of the student is approximately 73.39 kg

2) The net force on the student is approximately 947.523 N

3) The value the scale will read is approximately 96.59 kg

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The weight of the student = 720 N

The speed at which the elevator is decreasing = 3.1 m/s²

1) The weight of the student = The mass of the student × The acceleration due to gravity

The acceleration due to gravity is a constant = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting the known values gives;

720 N = The mass of the student × 9.81 m/s²

∴ The mass of the student = 720 N/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 73.39 kg

2) The forces acting on the student are;

i) The force of gravity which is the weight of the student acting downwards

ii) The inertia force of the slowing elevator acting downwards in the same direction as the weight of the student

The net force, F_{net} = The weight of the student + The inertia force of the slowing elevator

∴ The net force, F_{net} = 720 N + 73.39 kg × 3.1 m/s² ≈ 947.523 N

3) The scale will read the mass of the student as follows;

Mass reading of student on the scale = Force on scale/9.81

∴ Mass reading of student on the scale = 947.523/9.81 ≈ 96.59 kg

The value the scale will read = 96.59 kg.

A ray of light passes from one material into a material with a higher index of refraction. Determine whether each of the followi
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a) the Angle te also decreases , b) decrease, c) unchanged , d) the speed decrease , e) unchanged

Explanation:

When a ray of light passes from one transparent material to another, it must comply with the law of refraction

     n1 sin θ₁ = n2 sin θ₂

Where index v1 is for the incident ray and index 2 for the refracted ray

With this expression let's examine the questions

a) They indicate that the refractive index increases,

      sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

     θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (n₁ /n₂   sin θ₁)

    As m is greater than n1 the quantity on the right is less than one, the whole quantity in parentheses decreases so the Angle te also decreases

Answer is decrease

b) The wave velocity eta related to the wavelength and frequency

      v = λ f

The frequency does not change since the passage from one medium to the other is a process of forced oscillation, resonance whereby the frequency in the two mediums is the same.

The speed decreases with the indicated refraction increases and therefore the wavelength decreases

      λ = λ₀ / n

The answer is decrease

c) from the previous analysis the frequency remains unchanged

d) the refractive index is defined by

       n = c / v

So if n increases, the speed must decrease

The answer is decrease

e) the energy of the photon is given by the Planck equation

      E = h f

Since the frequency does not change, the energy does not change either

Answer remains unchanged
