"Angel Falls in southeastern Venezuela is the highest uninterrupted waterfall in the world, dropping 979 m (3212 ft). Ignoring a

ir resistance, it would take 14 s for the water to fall from the lip of the falls to the river below. If the water lands 50 m from the base of the verti-cal cliff, what was its horizontal speed at the top"

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value  is v  = 3.57 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The depth  is  d =  979 \  m

   The time taken for water to fall to below the river is  t =  14 \ s

   The  horizontal distance from the base of the vertical cliff is  h  =  50 \  m

     Generally  the horizontal speed at the top is mathematically represented as

         v  =  \frac{h}{t}

=>      v  =  \frac{  50}{ 14 }

=>     v  = 3.57 \  m/s

How much kinetic energy does a baseball with a mass of 0.143 kg have it it is traveling at a velocity of 41.1 m/s?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

E = 120.77 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a baseball, m = 0.143 kg

Velocity of a baseball, v = 41.1 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the baseball. We know that the kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be given by the formula as follow :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.143\ kg\times (41.1\ m/s)^2\\E=120.77\ J

So, the kinetic energy of the baseball is 120.77 J.

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of
erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.

All biomes don’t have the same level of biodiversity. What seems to be the optimal conditions for high biodiversity?
irinina [24]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The optimal conditions for high biodiversity seem to be a <u>warm temperature</u> and <u>wet climates</u>.

<em>The tropical areas of the world have the highest biodiversity and are characterized by an average annual temperature of above 18 </em>^oC<em> and annual precipitation of 262 cm. The areas are referred to as the world's biodiversity hotspots. </em>

Consequently, it follows logically that the optimal conditions for high biodiversity would be a warm temperature of above 18 ^oC and wet environment with annual precipitation of not less than 262 cm.

The variation in temperature and precipitation across biomes can thus be said to be responsible for the variation in the level of biodiversity in them.
