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 television has a mass of 19 kg. What is the weight of the television?
soldi70 [24.7K]
That depends on how far it is from the nearest planet. If it's on the surface of Earth, it weighs (19 kg) x (9.8 m/s^2) = 186.2 newtons.

What is the force acting on a 10kg object that accelerates from 5 m/s to 20 m/s in 5s?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

v= u + at

20 = 5 + a(5)

15= a(5)

a= 3 m/s²

Force = mass × acceleration

= 10 × 3

= 30 N
