6 0

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 75m/s

acceleration, a = -20m/s2

final velocity, v = 0m/s (rest)

Using the formula,

v = u + at

0 = 75 + (-20)t

t = 3.75 seconds

A wave with a period of 0.008 second has a frequency of?

tatyana61 [14]

The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds.
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz

A 10 kg rock that has been dropped from a 60 meter high cliff experiences an average force of air resistance of 30 N. Calculate

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

4086 J

Explanation:

The potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy less the frictional energy. Potential energy= mgh where m represent mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of cliff

Since we have force of air resistance, work done due to air resistance will be product of force and distance

$mgh-Fh= 0.5mv^{2}= KE$

Substituting 10 Kg for m, 9.81 for g and 60 m for F then the kinetic energy at the bottom will be

KE= 10*9.81*60- (30*60)=4086 J

why can light from the sun cause skin cancer but the light from a light bulb cannot cause skin cancer?

meriva

Answer:

Damage from UV exposure is cumulative and increases your skin cancer risk over time. While your body can repair some of the DNA damage in skin cells, it can't repair all of it. The unrepaired damage builds up over time and triggers mutations that cause skin cells to multiply rapidly. That can lead to malignant tumors.
