A seaside cliff is 30 m above the ocean surface, and Sam is standing at the edge of the cliff. Sam has three identical stones. T

he first stone he throws off the cliff at 30° above the horizontal. The second stone he throws vertically downward into the ocean. The third stone he drops into the ocean.
1. In terms of magnitude, which stone has the largest change in its velocity over a one second time interval after its release? (Sam’s throwing speed is 10 m/s.)

Answer:

In terms of magnitude, the stones 2 and 3 have the largest change in its velocity over a one second time interval after their release.

Explanation:

Stone 1:

vi = 10 m/s

vix = vi*Cos ∅ = (10 m/s)*Cos 30° = 8.66 m/s = vx

viy = vi*Sin ∅ = (10 m/s)*Sin 30° = 5 m/s

vy = viy - g*t = (5 m/s) - (9.8m/s²)*(1 s) = -4.8

then

v = √(vx²+vy²) = √((8.66)²+(-4.8)²) = 9.90 m/s

Δv = v - vi = 9.902 m/s - 10 m/s

⇒  Δv = -0.098 m/s

Stone 2:

vi = 10 m/s

v = vi + g*t = (10 m/s) + (9.8m/s²)*(1 s) = 19.8 m/s

Δv = v - vi = (19.8 m/s) - (10 m/s)

⇒  Δv = 9.8 m/s

Stone 3:

vi = 0 m/s

v = g*t = (9.8m/s²)*(1 s) = 9.8 m/s

Δv = v - vi = (9.8 m/s) - (0 m/s)

⇒  Δv = 9.8 m/s

Finally, in terms of magnitude, the stones 2 and 3 have the largest change in its velocity over a one second time interval after their release.

A chimpanzee sitting against his favorite tree gets up and walks 70.9 m due east and 31.9 m due south to reach a termite mound,
DIA [1.3K]
A right triangle is formed by the 70.9 m walked east and 31.9 m walked south.
The legs of this right triangle are 70.9 and 31.9.
The shortest distance between two points is a straaight line. Therefore the hypotenuse of this triangle is going to be that shortest distance.
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse of this triangle.
a^2+b^2=c^2\\70.9^2+31.9^2=c^2\\5026.81+1017.61=c^2\\6044.42=c^2\\c=\sqrt{6044.42}

c=\sqrt{6044.42}\approx\boxed{77.7458681}\ (decimal\ form)\\\\c=\sqrt{6044.42}=\sqrt{\frac{604442}{100}}=\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{604442}}{10}}\ (exact\ form)

As for the second part of the question, we want to find the angle formed by the hypotenuse and the 31.9 walked east.
We could use any of the three trigonometric ratios here since we know all 3 sides.
sine = opposite / hypotenuse
cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse
tangent = opposite / adjacent
I am going to use tangent, because then I won't have to deal with the hypotenuse and so the answer will be more accurate.

If you haven't already drawn yourself a diagram, now is a good time to.
The side opposite our angle is the 31.9, and the adjacent is 70.9.
Therefore, \tan(m\angle)=\frac{31.9}{70.9}.

We can use inverse trig ratios here to find the measure of our angle.
\tan^{-1}(\tan(m\angle))=\tan^{-1}(\frac{31.9}{70.9})\\\\m\angle=\tan^{-1}(\frac{31.9}{70.9})\approx\boxed{24.2243851\°\ or\ 0.422795279\ rad}

Your friend is wearing a red coat. When white light hits the coat, some light is reflected, and some is absorbed.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Orange , yellow, green and blue

red coat absorbs all colors of visible light except red, so red light

is the only light left to bounce off of the coat toward our eyes.

That is a difference between a law and a hypothesis?
telo118 [61]

Answer:

<em>A hypothesis</em> is a limited explanation of a phenomenon; a scientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon.

<em> A law</em> is a statement about an observed phenomenon or a unifying concept, according to Kennesaw State University. ... However, Newton's law doesn't explain what gravity is, or how it works.

Which of the following is true about light?
ale4655 [162]
Light travels in waves AND in bundles called "photons".

It's hard to imagine something that's a wave and also a bundle.
But it turns out that light behaves like both waves and bundles.

If you design an experiment to detect waves, then it responds to light.

And if you design an experiment to detect 'bundles' or particles, then
that one also responds to light.
