Answer:

Vi = 24.14 m/s

Explanation:

If we apply Law of Conservation of Energy or Work-Energy Principle here, we get: (neglecting friction)

Loss in K.E of the Rock = Gain in P.E of the Rock

(1/2)(m)(Vi² - Vf²) = mgh

Vi² - Vf² = 2gh

Vi² = Vf² + 2gh

Vi = √(Vf² + 2gh)

where,

Vi = Rock's Speed as it left the ground = ?

Vf = Final Speed = 17 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of rock = 15 m

Therefore,

Vi = √[(17 m/s)² + 2(9.8 m/s²)(15 m)]

Vi = √583 m²/s²

<u>Vi = 24.14 m/s</u>

A block is given a very brief push up a 20.0 degree frictionless incline to give it an initial speed of 12.0 m/s.(a) How far alo
Orlov [11]

Explanation:

(a)   Net force acting on the block is as follows.

           F_{net} = -mg Sin (\theta)

or,           ma = -mg Sin (\theta)[/tex]

                 a = -g Sin (\theta)

                    = -9.8 \times Sin (20^{o})

                    = -3.35 m/s^{2}

According to the kinematic equation of motion,

             v^{2} - v^{2}_{o} = 2as

Distance traveled by the block before stopping is as follows.

     s = \frac{v^{2} - v^{2}_{o}}{2a}

        = \frac{(0)^{2} - (12.0)^{2}_{o}}{2 \times -3.35}

        = 21.5 m

According to the kinematic equation of motion,

               v = v_{o} + at

      0 = 12.0 m/s + \frac{1}{2} \times -3.35 m/s^{2} \times t

   t_{1} = 7.16 sec

Therefore, before coming to rest the surface of the plane will slide the box till 7.16 sec.

(b)    When the block is moving down the inline then net force acting on the block is as follows.

                 F_{net} = -mg Sin (\theta)

                ma = mg Sin (\theta)

                    a = g Sin (\theta)

                       = 9.8 m/s^{2} \times Sin (20^{o})

                       = 3.35 m/s^{2}

Kinematics equation of the motion is as follows.

                   s = v_{o}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

      21.5 m = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 3.35 m/s^{2} \times t^{2}

     t_{2} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 21.5 m}{3.35 m/s^{2}}}

             = 3.58 sec

Hence, total time taken by the block to return to its starting position is as follows.

               t = t_{1} + t_{2}

                 = 7.16 sec + 3.58 sec

                 = 10.7 sec

Thus, we can conclude that 10.7 sec time it take to return to its starting position.

Light travels at a speed of 3.00 x 10^11 cm/s. What is the speed of light in kilometers/hour?
rewona [7]

As 1 km = 1000 m = 1000,00 cm,

So, 1 cm = (1/1000,00) km

1 hour = 60 × 60 s = 3600 s

So,  1 s = (1 / 3600) hour

The light travels at a speed of 3.00 \times 10^{11}  \ cm/s.

In kilometer/hour,

3.00 \times 10^{11}  \ cm/s = 3.00 \times 10^{11} \frac{(1/1000,00) km}{ (1 / 3600) hour} = 108 \times 10^8 \ km/hour

If you are swimming upstream (i.e., against the current), at what speed does your friend on the shore see you moving?

Could be very slow since they’re basically going against the current which is hard so will be going slow
