Answer

given,

vertical speed of stone,v = 12 m/s

height of the cliff = 70 m

a) time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom of the cliff

We know that,

S = u t + 1/2 a t²

- 70 = 12 t - 0.5 x 9.8 t²

4.9 t² - 12 t - 70 = 0  

solving the equation

t = 5.2 s (neglecting the negative value)

b) again using equation of motion

   v = u + a t

   v = 12 - 9.8 x 5.2

  v = -38.96 m/s

ignoring the negative sign

magnitude of velocity is equal to 38.96 m/s

c) total distance travel by the stone

  vertical distance covered by the stone

 v² = u² + 2 g h

 0 = 12² - 2 x 9.8 x h

 h = 7.34 m

to reach the stone to the same level distance travel be doubled.

Total distance travel by the stone

H = h + h + 70

H = 7.34 x 2 + 70

H = 84.7 m.

Astronomers believe that cosmic background radiation formed:

The assumption that the cosmic microwave background
is the remnant of the environment at the time of the big bang
or very shortly after it explains very well what we observe now. 
So it is the current prevailing theory. "Believe" is not involved.

Which of the following is the reason a lever is used in a shovel?
storchak [24]
The figure shown below illustrates a lever being used to lift a weight W.
The applied force is F.

In order to lift the weight, the minimum applied force is
F*b = W*a
F = (a/b)W

When the ratio a/b < 1, then the applied force is less than the weight.
The principle behind the use of a lever is to keep the ratio a/b small in order to decrease the effort force.

Answer: A
A lever is used to decrease effort force.

B. How could you determine the instantaneous speed during the trip? Be specific.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Speedometer.

Explanation:

If you look at the speedometer in a car, you will see your instantaneous speed. Speedometers tell you your speed of that moment and thats what instantaneous speed.
