A physics student standing on the edge of a cliff throws a stone vertically downward with an initial speed of 10 m/s. The instan

t before the stone hits the ground below, it is traveling at a speed of 30 m/s. if the physics student were to throw the rock horizontally outward from the cliff instead, with the same initial speed of 10 m/s, how fast would the stone be traveling just before it hits the ground

Answer:

The velocity just before hitting the ground is v_f = 30 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The initial speed is  u = 10 m/s

    The final speed is  v = 30 \ m/s

From the equations of motion we have that

      v^2 =u^2 + 2as

Where s is the distance travelled which is the height of the cliff

  So making it the subject of the the formula  we have that

        s = \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{2a}

Where a is the acceleration due to gravity with a value  a = 9.8m/s^2

       So

                  s = \frac{30^2 - 10^2 }{2 * 9.8 }

                  s = 40.8 \ m

Now we are told that was through horizontally with a speed of

      v_x =10 m/s

Which implies that this would be its velocity horizontally through out the motion

    Now it final  velocity vertically can be mathematically evaluated as

            v_y = \sqrt{2as}

Substituting values

             v_y = \sqrt{(2 * 9.8 * 40.8)}

             v_y =  28.3 \ m/s

The resultant final velocity is mathematically evaluated as

       v_f = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

Substituting values

       v_f = \sqrt{10^2 + 28.3^2}

       v_f = 30 m/s

A 6,600 kg train car moving at +2.0 m/s bumps into and locks together with one of mass 5,400 kg moving at -3.0 m/s.
Katarina [22]
Option B would be right one
according to momentum conservation
6600*2 = 13200kgm/s
5400*3 = 16200kgm/s
16200-13200 = 3000
now 6600-5400 = 1200 kg
thus 3000/1200 = 2.5 v

The Rigidbody component adds collision to a GameObject
kifflom [539]

Rigidbodies are components that allow a GameObject<u> to react to real-time physics. </u>

Explanation:

  • Rigidbodies are components that allow a GameObject to react to real-time physics. This includes reactions to forces and gravity, mass, drag and momentum. You can attach a Rigidbody to your GameObject by simply clicking on Add Component and typing in Rigidbody2D in the search field.
  • A rigidbody is a property, which, when added to any object, allows it to interact with a lot of fundamental physics behaviour, like forces and acceleration. You use rigidbodies on anything that you want to have mass in your game.
  • You can indeed have a collider with no rigidbody. If there's no rigidbody then Unity assumes the object is static, non-moving.
  • If you had a game with only two objects in it, and both move kinematically, in theory you would only need a rigidbody on one of them, even though they both move.

Please help if you can.

Initially there were 10 bulbs of 60 Watt power

So total power of all bulbs = 60 * 10 = 600 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

E = P * t

E = 600 * 4 = 2400 Wh

E = 2.4 kWh

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

E = 365 * 2.4 = 876 kWh

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

P_1 = 876 * 10 = 8760 cents = $87.60

Now if all 60 Watt bulbs are replaced by 30 Watt bulbs

So total power of all bulbs = 30 * 10 = 300 W

now each bulb used for 4 hours daily

so total energy consumed daily

E = P * t

E = 300 * 4 = 1200 Wh

E = 1.2 kWh

now we have total power consumed in 1 year

E = 365 * 1.2 = 438 kWh

cost of electricity = 10 cents/ kWh

so total cost of energy for one year

P_1 = 438 * 10 = 4380 cents = $43.80

total money saved in 1 year

Savings = 87.6 - 43.8 = $43.80
