A minimum temperature thermometer in a standard weather instrument shelter measures an overnight low temperature of 36 degrees F

ahrenheit. Explain why frost was observed on the ground beneath the shelter, even though the recorded minimum temperature was above the freezing point.

Answer:

Explanation:

Even though the minimum temperature is more than the freezing point, Frost was observed on the ground because the ground will cool rapidly as cool air tends to move towards the ground, the temperature of the ground is lower than the atmosphere a few feet above it.

As the thermometer is kept some feet above the ground so ground temperature may be lower than the minimum recorded temperature.

A heavy rock is shot upward from the edge of a vertical cliff. It leaves the edge of the cliff with an initial velocity of 12 m/
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The height of the building is 88.63 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial component of vertical velocity, v_i = 12 m/s sin 26° = 5.26 m/s

initial horizontal component of the velocity, u_i = 12 m/s cos 26° =10.786 m/s

horizontal distance traveled by the rock, x = 40.4 m

time of flight is calculated as;

x = u_i t

t = x / u_i

t = 40.4 / 10.786

t = 3.75 s

Determine the final vertical velocity of the ball;

v_f = v_i + gt\\\\v_f = 5.26 + (9.8 *3.75)\\\\v_f = 42.01 \ m/s

Determine the height of the rock;

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh\\\\h = \frac{v_f^2 - v_i^2}{2g}\\\\ h = \frac{(42.01)^2 - (5.26)^2}{2*9.8}\\\\h = 88.63 \ m

Therefore, the height of the building is 88.63 m.

A golf ball is hit horizontally off the edge of a 30 m high cliff and lands a distance of 25 m from the edge of the cliff. What
Ratling [72]

Answer:

V₀y = 0 m/s

t = 2.47 s

V₀ₓ = 61.86 m/s

Vₓ = 61.86 m/s

Explanation:

Since, the ball is hit horizontally, there is no vertical component of velocity at initial point. So, the initial vertical velocity (V₀y) will beL

<u>V₀y = 0 m/s</u>

For the initial vertical velocity of golf ball we consider the vertical motion and apply 2nd equation of motion:

Y = V₀y*t + (0.5)gt²

where,

Y = Height = 30 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

t = time to hit the ground = ?

Therefore,

30 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = 30 m/4.9 m/s²

t = √6.122 s²

<u>t = 2.47 s</u>

For initial vertical velocity we analyze the horizontal motion of the ball. We neglect the frictional effects in horizontal motion thus the speed remains uniform. Hence,

V₀ₓ = Xt

where,

V₀ₓ = Initial vertical Velocity = ?

X = Horizontal Distance = 25 m

Therefore,

V₀ₓ = (25 m)(2.47 s)

<u>V₀ₓ = 61.86 m/s</u>

<u></u>

Due, to uniform motion in horizontal direction:

Final Vertical Velocity = Vₓ = V₀ₓ

Vₓ = 61.86 m/s
