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

Science not has only achievements but also challenges justify with an example
statuscvo [17]
For example science has discovered many amazing things like atoms,molecules which led to the development of nuclear reactors etc. Challenges would be like trying to prove theories like evolution for 100 of years trying to discover all the stuff we still don’t know exists all the mysteries of life. A lot of science is still theory we can’t prove some things until we have more advanced technology etc.

For the following elementary reaction 2br• -> br2-. The rate of consumption of the reaction and the rate of formation of prod
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: -\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{d[Br^.]}{dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Explanation:

Rate of a reaction is defined as the rate of change of concentration per unit time.

Thus for reaction:

2Br^.\rightarrow Br_2

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

Rate=-\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}

or Rate=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Thus -\frac{d[Br^.]}{2dt}=+\frac{d[Br_2]}{dt}

Which is the best definition of a parallel
Oksanka [162]

A parallel circuit exists when an electric charge flows in more than one path best describes it.

<h3>What is a Parallel circuit?</h3>

This type of circuit has branches in which the current divides and only part of it flows through any of the branch.

Parallel circuit having more than one branch therefore means that electric charge will flow in more than one path thereby making option A the most appropriate choice.
