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

Convection Current  
This happens when there is a noteworthy contrast in temperature between two sections of a liquid. At the point when this temperature distinction exists, hot liquids rise and cool liquids sink, and after that streams, or developments, are made in the liquid

1. The basic building block of matter are atoms. Every atom is basically a tiny sphere. Every atom is composed of 2 regions, the
Bogdan [553]

The answers would be:

1. Electron cloud

2. Electrons, Electrons, Electrons

3. Nucleus, nucleus

4. Protons, protons

5. Neutrons, Neutrons

6. Direct, direct.

7. Inverse, inverse

8. No relationship, no relationship

9. Experimental control

10. Controlled variables

Here is more about the question:

An atom has 3 subatomic particles:

Proton: positively charged particles

Electron: Negatively charged particles

Neutrons: Neutrally charged particles

The nucleus is made up of the protons and neutrons, while the electrons are found outside, within the electron cloud.

Electrons are very important in bonding. It is also heavily involved in electricity. Electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor.

Relationships in a graph:

For direct relationships, you just need to remember, when one goes up, the other one goes up too.

Inverse relationships on the other hand, when one goes up the other goes down.

If no change occurs, then we can say that there is no relationship.

The recoil of a shotgun can be significant. Suppose a 3.6-kg shotgun is held tightly by an arm and shoulder with a combined mass
devlian [24]

Answer:

The velocity of the recoil is v=1.001 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}=m_{gun}*v_{recoil}\\m_{gun}= 15.0kg+3.6kg

The mass of th gun is the both mass the shotgun and the arm shoulder combination

m_{bullet}=0.049kg\\v_{bullet}=380\frac{m}{s} \\m_{bullet}*v_{bullet}=m_{gun}*v_{recoil}\\0.049kg*380\frac{m}{s}=(15.kg+3.6kg)* v_{recoil}\\v_{recoil}=-\frac{18.62 kg \frac{m}{s} }{18.6 kg}\\ v_{recoil}=-1.0010 \frac{m}{s}

The velocity is negative because is in opposite direction of the bullet
