A person standing at the edge of a seaside cliff kicks a stone horizontally over the edge with a speed of 18 m/s. The cliff is 5

2 meters above the water's surface. How long does it take for the stone to fall to the water?

Answer:

it would take 3.26 seg for the stone to fall to the water

Explanation:

If we ignore air friction then:

h=h₀ + v₀*t -1/2*g*t²

where

h= coordinates of the stone in the y axis ( height of the stone relative to the surface of the water )

h₀ = initial coordinates of the stone ( height of the cliff relative to the surface of the water = 52 m )

v₀ = initial <u>vertical </u>velocity = 0 ( since the ball is kicked horizontally , has only initial horizontal velocity , and has 0 vertical velocity )

t = time to reach a height h

g = gravity = 9.8 m/s²

since v₀ =0

h= h₀ - 1/2*g*t²

h₀ - h =  1/2*g*t²

t= √[2(h₀ - h)/g]

when the stone hits the ground h=0 ( height=0) , then replacing values

t=√[2(h₀ - h)/g]=√[2(52 m- 0 m )/(9.8m/s²)] = 3.26 seg

t= 3.26 seg

it would take 3.26 seg for the stone to fall to the water

At a distance r1 from a point charge, the magnitude of the electric field created by the charge is 226 N/C. At a distance r2 fro
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

r2/r1 = 1.3

Explanation:

Electric field is given as:

E = kq/r²

At a distance r1,

226 = kq/(r1)² - - - - - - - - - - - - - (1)

At a distance r2,

134 = kq/(r2)² - - - - - - - - - - - - - (2)

From (1),

kq = 226 * (r1)²

From (2),

kq = 134 * (r2)²

Equating and then solving,

134 * (r2)² = 226 * (r1)²

(r2)²/(r1)² = 226/134

(r2)²/(r1)² = 1.687

=> r2/r1 = 1.3

A boy is exerting a force of 70 N at a 50-degree angle on a lawnmower. He is accelerating at 1.8 m/s2. Round the answers to the
Marysya12 [62]

The lawnmower accelerates in the positive horizontal direction, so that the net horizontal force is, by Newton's second law,

(70 N) cos(-50°) = <em>m</em> (1.8 m/s²)

where <em>m</em> is the mass of the lawnmower. Solve for <em>m</em> :

<em>m</em> = ((70 N) cos(-50°)) / (1.8 m/s²)

<em>m</em> ≈ 25 kg

The lawnmower presumably doesn't get lifted off the ground, so that the net vertical force is 0. If <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force, then by Newton's second law,

<em>n</em> - <em>m g</em> + (70 N) sin(-50°) = 0

<em>n</em> = <em>m g</em> + (70 N) sin(50°)

<em>n</em> = (25 kg) (9.8 m/s²) + (70 N) sin(50°)

<em>n</em> ≈ 300 N

Which physical law underlies the first law of thermodynamics?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Conservation of energy

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is given by :

Q=\Delta U+W

Here,

Q is amount of heat added to the system

\Delta U is change in internal energy

W is amount of work done by the system

It is clear that the energy can be neither created nor destroyed, it remains conserved. Hence, first law of thermodynamics shows that conservation of energy.

1. A 0.40 kg ball is launched at a speed of 16 m/s from a 22 m cliff.
Masja [62]

Answer:

51.2 J, 86.2 J, 137.4 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 0.40 kg is its mass

v = 16 m/s is its speed

Substituting,

K=\frac{1}{2}(0.40)(16)^2=51.2  J

The potential energy of the ball is given by

U=mgh

where

m = 0.40 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 22 m is the heigth of the cliff

Substituting,

U=(0.40)(9.8)(22)=86.2 J

Finally, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy:

E=K+U=51.2 + 86.2=137.4 J
