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

Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.35s for a rock to hit the ground when it is thrown straight up from the cliff with
ad-work [718]

Answer:

y₀ = 10.625 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the kinematic relations, where the upward direction is positive.

         y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

in the exercise they indicate the initial velocity v₀ = 8 m / s.

when the rock reaches the ground its height is zero

         0 = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²

        y₀i = -v₀ t + ½ g t²

let's calculate

         y₀ = - 8  2.5 + ½  9.8  2.5²

         y₀ = 10.625 m

a liquid with a specific heat of 1900J/Kg° C has 4750 joules of heat energy is added to it. if the temperature increases from 20
GREYUIT [131]
E=mcθ
where E is the energy added,m is the mass,c is the specfic heat capacity and θ is the change in temprature.
making m subject u get E/c<span>θ=m
</span><span>θ=(30-20)=10</span><span>
plugging the values  we get :
</span>\frac{4750}{1900*10}
<span>
solving it we get the answer that is 0.25kg or 250 grams
