A physics book is thrown horizontally at a velocity of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff 78.4 m high. How long does the book take

to reach the bottom of the cliff .

The book's vertical position in the air is

y=78.4\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2

where g=9.80\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}. It reaches the ground when y=0, at a time t such that

0=78.4\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12gt^2\implies t=4.00\,\mathrm s

So it takes the book 4 seconds to reach the bottom. The given initial velocity is irrelevant since it only has a horizontal component; vertically, the book is starting from rest.

A wind generator, such as the one shown , uses the power of wind to generate electricity What do you think is happening inside t
sesenic [268]

Answer:

A wind turbine captures the wind, which then produces a renewable energy source. The wind makes the rotor spin; as the rotor spins, the movement of the blades drives a generator that creates energy. The motion of the blades turning is kinetic energy. It is this power that we convert into electricity.

Which molecule will undergo only london dispersion forces when interacting with other molecules of the same kind?
vfiekz [6]

Explanation:

London dispersion forces will form between non-polar molecules(polar ) that are symmetrical  like O₂, H₂, Cl₂ and noble gases.

  • The attraction here is because non-polar molecules becomes polar due to the constant motion of its electrons.
  • This lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant.
  • A temporary  dipole or instantaneous dipole forms.
  • The temporary dipole can induce neighboring molecules to be distorted and forms dipoles as well.
  • This forms london dispersion forces.

) a 1.0 kilogram laboratory cart moving with a velocity of 0.50 meter per second due east collides with and sticks to a similar
ZanzabumX [31]
Momentum would be the same before and after the collision
 Before the collision:
 Momentum of the single cart: 1 * 0.50 = 0.50
 After the collision
 velocity = 0.25m / s
 1 * 0.25 + 1 * 0.25 =
 0.25 * (1 + 1) =
 0.25 * 2 =
 0.50
 Now new momentum will be 0.5
 answer
 the same before and after the collision
