Complete question is;

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 25.0 m above water with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s strikes the water with a final speed of 31.1 m/s, independent of the direction thrown

Answer:

It is proved that the final speed is truly 31.1 m/s

Explanation:

From energy - conservation principle;

E_i = Initial potential energy + Initial Kinetic Energy

Or

E_i = U_i + K_i

Similarly, for final energy

E_f = U_f + K_f

So, expressing the formulas for potential and kinetic energies, we now have;

E_i = (m × g × y_i) + (½ × m × v_i²)

Similarly,

E_f = (m × g × y_f) + (½ × m × v_f²)

We are given;

y_i = 25 m

y_f = 0 m

v_i = 20 m/s

v_f = 31.1 m/s

So, plugging in relevant values;

E_i = m((9.8 × 25) + (½ × 20²))

E_i = 485m

Similarly;

E_f = m((9.8 × 0) + (½ × v_f²)

E_f ≈ ½m•v_f²

From energy conservation principle, E_i = E_f.

Thus;

485m = ½m•v_f²

m will cancel out to give;

½v_f² = 485

v_f² = 485 × 2

v_f² = 970

v_f = √970

v_f ≈ 31.1 m/s

What is mean by combination reaction ?​​
mrs_skeptik [129]

\underline{\purple{\large \sf Combination \: reaction :-}}

Those reaction in which two or more substances combine to form a one new substance are called Combination reaction

In this reaction, We can add :

  • Two or more elements can combine to form a compound.
  • Two or more compounds can combine to from a one new compound.
  • An element and a compound can combine to form a new compound.

\underline{\green{\large \sf For\: example :}}

\sf 2H_{2}  + O_{2} \:  \underrightarrow{Combination} \: 2H_{2}o

In this, Hydrogen is an element and Oxygen is another element. Both are combined to form compound 'Hydrogen oxide'. Hydrogen oxide is commonly known as water.

Its a motion phisic question but im a little confused. Help me fast please.
Alenkinab [10]

6: Short way: it cannot be 2.5, 3, or 5 because up to 5 seconds it only has positive velocity so it must be moving forwards.

Long Way: Velocity is in m / s, multiply that by time (s) to get m or displacement. From 0->5 you have a triangle under the curve, (1/2)(5)(20) = 50 meters displaced positive, you need to then look when velocity is under the curve and use a similar equation to solve for the area but make the answer negative. Find the point where it equals -50 and that is where it will have returned.

Answer to 6: B

7. I cannot see the problem enough to answer this. Just know if the line is above 0 velocity is positive so it is moving the direction it started, when it goes below 0 velocity is negative so it is moving opposite direction it started.

8. Accelration is change in velocity. Whatever the slope of the velocity graph is acceleration. At t=8 the slope is 0 because it is not going up or down.

Answer to 8: A

A floating leaf oscillates up and down two complete cycles in one second as a water wave passes by. The wave's wavelength is 10
postnew [5]

Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s
