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

What is it called cavity left behind in the rock after an organism's hard part has dissolved.
Lapatulllka [165]

Mold

Explanation:

A mold is a cavity that is left behind in the rock after an organism hard part has been dissolved. These are important fossils that useful in relative dating.

  • Some hard parts of organism are preserved in form of molds in soft sediments.
  • The outline and important details of the hard part is preserved when the mold dissolves away.
  • Fossil molds are representative on the internal outline of the hard parts of organisms.
  • They are usually recognized as a part of body fossil in a section.
