A rock is thrown off a cliff with a horizontal velocity of 18.3 m/s. Right before it hits the ground, it has a vertical velocity

of -31.3 m/s. What is the magnitude of the rock's overall velocity?

Answer: 36.257 m/s

Explanation:

The vertical and horizontal components of a projectiles motion are completely independent of each other. The only thing they share is the amount of time in the air. Because they are independent, the acceleration of gravity cannot affect the horizontal acceleration. This means horizontal acceleration is 0. If the acceleration is 0, this means the velocity does not change horizontally. So the final velocity of the x component is equal to the initial.

Now if you actually imagine these two vectors, it forms a right triangle. So you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the resultant vector.

a^2+b^2=c^2\\18.3^2+(-31.3)^2 = c^2\\c = 36.257 m/s

What happens to the open circuit if a small fan is connected at point f and the circuit is closed
liraira [26]
There's no way to tell.  Without seeing a diagram of the circuit,
I'll need to know much more about it than you've told me.
I don't know anything about the components or power supply
that are in the circuit, and I don't know where point ' f ' is in it.

Right now, even with the copious volume of all the available
information, no answer to your question is possible.

lightning strikes in the distance and six seconds later Thunder is heard how far away was the lightning strike
marshall27 [118]
The speed of sound really depends on the temperature and moisture in the air,
and the sound of the thunder doesn't necessarily travel straight from the lightning
to where you are.  So we can't say exactly. 

But if we use the nominal speed of 340 m/s, then 6 seconds means 2,040 meters,
or about 6,700 feet, or about 1.27 miles.
