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

saw5 [17]

The universe is the collection of galaxies, The Andromeda Galaxy has spectral lines with blue shift. The conclusion is that the Universe has stopped expanding.

<h3>What is Andromeda Galaxy?</h3>

The Andromeda Galaxy is the nearest spiral neighbor that has spectral lines showing a blue shift.

Therefore, this concludes that, the Universe has stopped expanding. This galaxy is slowly shifting towards us.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

El microscopio y el descubrimiento de microorganismos. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) fue una de las primeras personas en observar microorganismos, utilizando un microscopio de su propio diseño, e hizo una de las contribuciones más importantes a la biología. Robert Hooke fue el primero en usar un microscopio para observar seres vivos.

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
lbvjy [14]
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s 

                                                                           = <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for 
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is 
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds. 

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !  

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
