Hi there!
We can begin by deriving the equation for how long the ball takes to reach the bottom of the cliff.

There is NO initial vertical velocity, so:

Rearrange to solve for time:

Plug in the given height and acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 9.8 m/s²)

Now, use the following for finding the HORIZONTAL distance using its horizontal velocity:

Answer:
15km/hr
Explanation:
The average speed for the entire trip is the sum of the total distance traveled divided by the total time of the trip.
Total time = 4hr
distance for the first 3hrs = 50km
distance for the last 1hr = 10km
Total distance = 50km + 10km = 60km
Now;
Average speed =
Insert the parameters and solve;
Average speed =
= 15km/hr
Answer:
The maximum acceleration that the truck can have before the refrigerator begins to tip over is 3.79 m/s^2
Explanation:
Mass of refrigerator, m = 120 kg
Refrigerator height, h = 2.2 m
Width of refrigerator, w = 85 cm = 0.85 m
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 m/s^2
From the principles of moments, the refrigerator will start to tip at the point when the forces are balanced at the edge of the width.
Therefore, taking moments about the edge, where the weight acts at the geometric center, we have
m×g×w/2 = m×a×h/2
120×9.81×0.85/2 = 120×a×2.2/2
or a = 3.79 m/s^2
