Assuming the cannonball is fired horizontally, its horizontal velocity stays at a constant 76 m/s. At the point it hits the ground, it has a speed of 89 m/s, so if its vertical velocity at that moment is v_y, we have

89\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=\sqrt{\left(76\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+{v_y}^2}\implies{v_y}^2\approx2145\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}

(taking the negative square root because we take the downward direction to be negative)

Recall that

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

where v_i and v_f are the initial and final velocities, respectively; a is the acceleration; and \Delta x is the change in position of a body. In the cannonball's case, it starts with 0 vertical velocity and is subject to a downward acceleration with magnitude g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}. So we have

2145\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}-0=-2g\Delta y\implies\Delta y\approx-109.44\,\mathrm m

(which is negative because we take the cannonball's starting position at the top of the cliff to be the origin) so the cliff is about 109 m high.

Answer:

B) R1 = 6 V and R2 = 6V

Explanation:

In series, both resistors will carry the same current.

that current will be I = V/R = 12 / (10 + 10) = 0.6 A

The voltage drop across each resistor is V = IR = 0.6(10) = 6 V

Explanation:

PRIMERO ENCUENTRAS EL PESO DEL PARACAIDISTA

F_{peso} = 65 kg(9.80 m/s^{2}) = 637 N

CON LA FÓRMULA DE LA ENERGÍA POTENCIAL

U = 637 N(6000 m - 3500 m) = 1592500 J

How does a large star create the elements? at what element does the star stop making new elements?
Dahasolnce [82]
They are fused in the core of the star due to great pressures and temperatures.  They are made all the way through iron.  At that point the star dies.  If it is a really large star it will become a supernova when it dies, creating all of the elements beyond iron as well, but only in its death.  No star can create anything beyond iron in its life cycle

Answer:

Roles and responsibilities

Explanation:

Definition of safety plan:

"A Safety Plan is a written document that describes the process for identifying the physical and health hazards that could harm workers, <em>procedures to prevent accidents</em>, and steps to take when accidents occur. Written safety plans can be comprehensive, such as an injury and illness prevention program, or they can be specific to a particular activity, hazard, or piece of equipment. The written safety plan is your blueprint for keeping workers safe."

Alternative definition

"What is an OSHA Safety Plan? An OSHA Safety Plan is a written plan that describes the potential hazards in the workplace, <u><em>and the company policies</em></u>, controls, and <u><em>work practices</em></u> used to minimize those hazards."

elements of a safety plan:

Basic Safety Plan Elements

Policy or goals statement

<u><em>List of responsible persons</em></u>

Hazard identification

<em>Hazard controls and safe practices</em>

<em>Emergency and accident response</em>

Employee training and communication

<em>Recordkeeping</em>

I say roles and responsibilities because it makes sense that if it's your responsibility and possibly something that could be dangerous -- hence a safety plan --  you would have to sign it before working. I hope this helps!
