Let north and east be posetive
Y=20sin20
=6.840402867 south
X=20cos20
18.79385243 west
Net horizontal components=60+(-18.79)
=41.20614758m
Net vertical=-6.84040267
X^2=41.20614758^2+(-6.684040267)^2
√x^2 =√1744.73771m
x=41.77m

Two rocks, a and b, are thrown horizontally from the top of a cliff. rock a has an initial speed of 10 meters per second and roc
Arte-miy333 [17]

Both rocks hit the ground at the same time and at the same distance from the base of the cliff. Option A is correct.

<h3>What is speed ?</h3>

Speed is defined as the rate of change of the distance or the height attained. it is a time-based quantity. it is denoted by u for the initial speed while u for the final speed. its SI unit is m/sec.

If the  resistance is ignored, things falling near the Earth's surface have the same estimated acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 meters per second.

As a result, the objects' acceleration is the same, and their velocity is growing at a consistent pace.

So that both rocks hit the ground at the same time and at the same distance from the base of the cliff.

Hence, option A is correct.

A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy moves backward, increasing his distance from the p
slava [35]

Answer:

b. The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward

Explanation:

Initially, the seesaw is balanced because the torque exerted by the boy is equal to the torque exerted by the girl:

\tau_b = \tau_g\\W_b d_b = W_g d_g

where

Wb is the weight of the boy

db is the distance of the boy from the pivot

Wg is the weight of the girl

dg is the distance of the girl from the pivot

When the boy moves backward, the distance of the boy from the pivot ((d_b) increases, therefore the torques are no longer balanced: the torque exerted by the boy will be larger, and therefore the side of the boy will tilt downward.

The river narrows at a rapids from a width of 12 m to a width of only 5.8 m. The depth of the river before the rapids is 2.7 m;
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

7.89 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Width of the river, b1 = 12 m

Width of the river, b2 = 5.8 m

Depth of the river, d1 = 2.7 m

Depth of the river, d2 = 0.85 m

Speed of the river, v1 = 1.2 m/s

Speed of the river, v2 = ?

Area of the river before the rapid, a1 = 12 * 2.7 = 32.4 m²

Area of the river after the rapid, a2 = 5.8 * 0.85 = 4.93 m²

To solve this question, we use a relation between the speed of the river and the volume of the river. We say,

Area1 * velocity1 = Area2 * velocity2, and when we substitute the values for each other we have

32.4 * 1.2 = 4.93 * v2

38.88 = 4.93v2

v2 = 38.88 / 4.93

v2 = 7.89 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the river after the rapid is 7.89 m/s
