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

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three
Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is

<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N

<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N

So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

Which wavelengths does nitrogen catch ?
Ann [662]

Answer:

The strongest lines are at 337.1 nm wavelength in the ultraviolet. Other lines have been reported at 357.6 nm, also ultraviolet. This information refers to the second positive system of molecular nitrogen, which is by far the most common.

A 56 kg sprinter, starting from rest, runs 49 m in 7.0 s at constant acceleration.what is the sprinter's power output at 2.0 s,
alexgriva [62]
The sprinter is in uniform accelerated motion, and its initial velocity is zero, so the relationship betwen space (S) and time (t) is
S= \frac{1}{2} a t^2
where a is the acceleration. Using the data of the problem, we can find a:
a= \frac{2S}{t^2} = \frac{2 \cdot 49 m}{(7.0 s)^2} =2.0 m/s^2
So now we can solve the 3 parts of the problem.

a) power output at t=2.0 s
The velocity at t=2.0 s is
v(t)=at=(2.0 m/s^2)(2.0 s)=4.0 m/s

the kinetic energy of the sprinter is
K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(56 kg)(4.0 m/s)^2=448 J

and so the power output is
P= \frac{E}{t} = \frac{448 J}{2.0 s} =224 W

b) power output at t=4.0s 
The velocity at t=4.0 s is
v(t)=at=(2.0 m/s^2)(4.0 s)=8.0 m/s

the kinetic energy of the sprinter is
K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(56 kg)(8.0 m/s)^2=1792 J

and so the power output is
P= \frac{E}{t} = \frac{1792 J}{4.0 s} =448 W

c) Power output at t=6.0 s
The velocity at t=2.0 s is
v(t)=at=(2.0 m/s^2)(6.0 s)=12.0 m/s

the kinetic energy of the sprinter is
K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(56 kg)(6.0 m/s)^2=4032 J

and so the power output is
P= \frac{E}{t} = \frac{4032 J}{6.0 s} =672 W
