Heather and Jerry are standing on a bridge 60 m above a river Heather throws a rock straight down with a speed of 14 m/s. Jerry,

at exactly the same instant of time, throws a rock straight up with the same speed. Ignore air resistance.

Answer:

Time elapsed   = 2.856

SECOND ROCK HAS FASTER SPEED

Explanation:

This can be achieved in 2 ways, and it is clear from the careful study that the travel time is attributed to the time required to cross the path above the bridge by the 2nd stone  i.e.

14 = 9.8 * t

t = 1.428 sec and

time between 2 splash  = 2 * 1.428 = 2. 857 sec

2nd way

let time for 1st spalsh be t and

second splash be t1.

from equation of motion

so 60 = 14t + 0.5 * 9.8 * t * t

4.9 t^2 + 14t -60 = 0

On solving, we get t = 2.351 sec

for t_1, we have some extra time, which can be divided into t2 and t3.

14 = 9.8 * t2

t2 = 1.428 sec  

total time taken by 2 is

T = 1.428 + 1.428 + 2.351

so we get t_1 = 5.207 sec

time elapsed is  = T - t

                           = 5.207 - 2.351

Time elapsed   = 2.856

SECOND ROCK HAS FASTER SPEED

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?
katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.

A rock thrown with speed 7.50 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 18.0 m bef
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

height from where rock was thrown is 27.916 m

Explanation:

speed = 7.50 m/s

θ = 30°

g= 9.8 m/s²

horizontal distance = 18 m

time require for vertical displacement

time = \frac{distance}{velocity} \\t = \frac{18}{7.5\ cos30^0}

t = 2.8 sec

now for calculation of height

s = ut + 0.5 a t²

-h = v sinθ× t + 0.5 ×(-9.8)× (2.8²)

-h = 7.5 sin30°× 2.8 - 0.5 ×(9.8)× (2.8²)

-h = -27.916 m

h= 27.916 m

height from where rock was thrown is 27.916 m

Two trains approach each other on parallel tracks. Each has a speed of 95 kph relative to the ground. If they are initially 8.5
aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 2.83 minutes

Explanation:

It is understood that trains are approaching. That is, they have speeds of equal magnitude but opposite. When train A travels x meters northbound, then train B travels the same distance southbound.

Therefore trains approach at a speed of:

V = 95 +95 = 190\ km / h

Then:

V = \frac{x}{t}\\\\t = \frac{x}{V}

Where x is the distance between the trains

x = 8.5\ km

So the time in which both trains meet is:

t =\frac{8.5\ km}{180\ \frac{km}{h}}\\\\t=0.04722\ hours

This is:

0.04722*\frac{60\ minutes}{1\ hour} = 2.83\ minutes

Nitella [24]

Individuals suffering from somatoform disorders often see several doctors about their symptoms because doctors often refer their patients for a second opinion

<h3>What is doctors opinion?</h3>

Doctors usually ask people to take different medications to be able to treat the cause and the symptoms of a disease.

For example, they might prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection and  anti-inflammatory medication for the swelling and pain.

According to this, the statement that says that doctors often advise a combination of treatments to eradicate an infection and treat symptoms is true.

Hence Individuals suffering from somatoform disorders often see several doctors about their symptoms because doctors often refer their patients for a second opinion
