Suppose a rock is dropped off a cliff with an initial speed of 0m/s. What is the rocks speed after 5 secounds, in m/s, if it enc
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The rock's speed after 5 seconds is 98 m/s.

Explanation:

A rock is dropped off a cliff.

It had an initial velocity of 0 m/s. And now it is moving downwards under the influence of gravitational force with the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s².

Speed after 5 seconds = V

We know that acceleration = average speed/time

In our case,

g = ((0+V)/2)/5

9.8*5 = V/2

=> V = 2*9.8*5

V = 98 m/s

A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. suppose that a storm is in progress wit
Agata [3.3K]

Before we answer this question, let us first understand what alternate hypothesis is.

The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis which is used in the hypothesis testing and this is opposite to the null hypothesis. This is the test hypothesis which is usually taken to be that the observations are the result of a real effect in an experiment.

In this case since what we want to set up is the statistical test to see if the waves are dying down, then this means we are trying to determine if the wave height are decreasing, so lesser than 16.4 feet. Therefore:

The alternative hypothesis would state                 (ANSWER)

Ha: μ less than 16.4 feet and P-value area is on the left of the mean.

 

While the null hypothesis is the opposite and would state

H0: mu equals 16.4 feet

<span>A mechanical wave is created when a source of energy causes a vibration to travel through a medium 

And yeah lol 
A mechanical wave is a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another :)
