Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

From the equation of motion,

S = ut+1/2gt²................................. Equation 1

Where S = Height, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Because the rocked is being dropped from a height, acceleration due to gravity is positive (g), and initial velocity (u) is negative

Given: t = 2.0 s, g = 10 m/s², u = 0 m/s (dropped from height)

Substituting into equation 1

S = 0(2) + 1/2(10)(2)²

S = 5(4)

S = 20 m

Hence the height of the the cliff above the pool is 20 m

The back-and-forth movement of electrons is called alternating current. Electrons go back and forth, the direction of their path alternates from one direction to another.

the movement of electrons in one direction is called direct current. The electrons move in a direct, single path without changing directions.

Why is it important to understand forces?
yanalaym [24]
If people never learned forces, there would be a major gap in the world and how it works, let alone in physics...
as much as you don't wanna admit it, force is everywhere and you see it if not use it EVERY day in your life, something as simple as driving a car down the street or too school, your using force of your wheels to move your car, which is moving you
