Answer:

height of a cliff is 45.86 m

Explanation:

u=8 m/s

t=2.35 s

the height of the cliff is

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\S=8\times2.35+\frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 2.35^2\\S=45.86 m$

A small rock is thrown straight up with initial speed v0 from the edge of the roof of a building with height H. The rock travels

Crank

Answer:

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }$

Explanation:

The average velocity is total displacement divided by time:

$v_{avg} =\dfrac{D_{tot}}{t}$

And in the case of vertical $v_{avg}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}$

where $y_{tot}$ is the total vertical displacement of the rock.

The vertical displacement of the rock when it is thrown straight up from height $H$ with initial velocity $v_0$ is given by:

$y=H+v_0t-\dfrac{1}{2} gt^2$

The time it takes for the rock to reach maximum height is when $y'(t)=0$ , and it is

$t=\frac{v_0}{g}$

The vertical distance it would have traveled in that time is

$y=H+v_0(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )-\dfrac{1}{2} g(\dfrac{v_0}{g} )^2$

$y_{max}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}$

This is the maximum height the rock reaches, and after it has reached this height the rock the starts moving downwards and eventually reaches the ground. The distance it would have traveled then would be:

$y_{down}=\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

Therefore, the total displacement throughout the rock's journey is

$y_{tot}=y_{max}+y_{down}$

$y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{2g}+H$

$\boxed{y_{tot} =\dfrac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H}$

Now wee need to figure out the time of the journey.

We already know that the rock reaches the maximum height at

$t=\dfrac{v_0}{g},$

and it should take the rock the same amount of time to return to the roof, and it takes another $t_0$ to go from the roof of the building to the ground; therefore,

$t_{tot}=2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+t_0$

where $t_0$ is the time it takes the rock to go from the roof of the building to the ground, and it is given by

$H=v_0t_0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_0^2$

we solve for $t_0$ using the quadratic formula and take the positive value to get:

$t_0=\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}$

Therefore the total time is

$t_{tot}= 2\dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{-v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}$

$\boxed{t_{tot}= \dfrac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g}}$

Now the average velocity is

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{y_{tot}}{t}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{\frac{2gH+v_0^2}{g}+H }{\frac{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} }{g} }$

$\boxed{v_{avg}=\dfrac{3gH+v_0^2}{v_0+\sqrt{v_0^2+2gH} } }$

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

11, 760 Pa.

Explanation:

By applying formula P= pgh, where P is pressure, p is density, g is gravitational acceleration (9.8 m\s2) and h is height of water level. Putting values in the formula, you can have the correct answer.

Which energy does the water flow into the river?

kupik [55]

The water in a reservoir behind a hydropower dam is another example of potential energy. The stored energy in the reservoir is converted into kinetic energy (motion) as the water flows down a large pipe called a penstock and spins a turbine.
