To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.

v = v_0 -gt

Here,

v = Final velocity

v_0 = Initial velocity

g = Acceleration due to gravity

t = Time

At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)

Therefore the initial velocity will be

-30 = v_0 -9.8(4)

v_0 = 9.2m/s

Now the position can be calculated as,

y = h +v_0t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2

When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,

0 = h+(9.2)(4)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(4)^2

h = 41.6m

Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground

If the area of an iron rod is 10 cm by 0.5 cm and length is 35 cm. Find the value of resistance, if 11x10^-8 ohm.m be the resist
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Resistance of the iron rod, R = 0.000077 ohms    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of iron rod, A=10\ cm\times 0.5\ cm=5\ cm^2 = 0.0005\ m^2

Length of the rod, L = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Resistivity of Iron, \rho=11\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the resistance of the iron rod. It is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}

R=11\times 10^{-8}\times \dfrac{0.35\ m}{0.0005\ m^2}

R=0.000077 \Omega

So, the resistance of the rod is 0.000077 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1. 2 m/s? 3. 8 kg • m/s 4. 2 kg • m/s 6. 0 kg • m/s 6. 2 kg â
nevsk [136]

The momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.

<h3> MOMENTUM:</h3>

Momentum of a substance is the product of its mass and velocity. That is;

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

According to this question, an object has a mass of 5kg and velocity of 1.2m/s. The momentum is calculated thus:

Momentum = 5kg × 1.2m/s

Momentum = 6kgm/s.

Therefore, the momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.

With the piston head locked in place, will the volume of the gas increase, decrease, or stay the same whenthe piston is placed a
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

For real gas the volume of a given mass of gas will increase with increase in temperature.

Explanation:

With the piston head locked in place and place above the fire,the volume of the gas will increase,because the volume of a given mass of gas increases with increase temperature.
