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

Earth's age is closest to _____ years
Angelina_Jolie [31]
<span>Since the planet Earth doesn't have a birth certificate to record its formation, scientists have spent hundreds of years struggling to determine the age of the planet. By dating the rocks in the ever-changing crust, as well as neighbors such as the moon and visiting meteorites, scientists have calculated that Earth is 4.54 billion years old, with an error range of 50 million years.
Hope this helps</span>

During wich two time intervals does the particle undergo equal displacement
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Basically, you want to take the integral of each interval and compare them. The two intervals with the same integral represent equal displacement of the particle. And since delta(x) is always 2, all you have to do is average the initial and final velocities of each interval and multiply by two to find total displacement.

Hope it helped.

Edit to show calculations:

2 * [ (0 + 10)/2 ] = 10 for interval AB
2 * [ (7 + 3)/2 ] = 10 for interval DE

In being served, a tennis ball is accelerated from rest to a speed of 42.1 m/s. The average power generated during the serve is
hoa [83]

Answer:

Force F = 69.35 N

Explanation:

given data

Ball Initial speed u = 0

Ball Final speed v = 42.1 m/s

average power generate = 2920 W

solution

Power generate is express as

P= \frac{W}{t}   ..............1

here W is work done and t is time

and work w = F × d

so

P= \frac{Fd}{t}  

and we know speed v = \frac{d}{t}  

so here

Power P = F × v

put here value and we get force

Force F = \frac{2920}{42.1}

Force F = 69.35 N

Please help me guys never mind the calculations ​
vlada-n [284]

The shape is connected in parallel so;

5.1) Ans;

\frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{1}{R1} +  \frac{1}{R2}   \\  \frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{1}{2}  +  \frac{1}{3}  \\  \frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{3 + 2}{6}  =  \frac{5}{6}  \\ R =  \frac{6}{5}  = 1.2 \:  \: ohm

5.2) Ans;

\frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{1}{R1} +  \frac{1}{R2}   \\  \frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{1}{8}  +  \frac{1}{10}  \\  \frac{1}{R}  =  \frac{5 + 4}{40}  =  \frac{9}{40}  \\ R =  \frac{40}{9}  = 4.4 \:  \: ohm

I hope I helped you^_^
