The distance of the rock from the base of the cliff is C) 20 m

Explanation:

The motion of the rock in this problem is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

We start by analyzing the vertical motion to find the time of flight of the rock (the time it takes to reach the ground). We can do it by using the suvat equation:

$s=u_y t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where, taking downward as positive direction,

s = 20 m is the vertical displacement of the rock

$u_y=0$ is the initial vertical velocity

t is the time of flight

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Solving for t,

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(20)}{9.8}}=2.02 s$

Now we can analzye the horizontal motion: the rock moves horizontally with a constant velocity of

$v_x = 10 m/s$

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered after a time t is

$d=v_x t$

and substituting t = 2.02 s, we find the final distance of the rock from the base of the cliff:

$d=(10)(2.02)=20 m$

A boulder with a mass of 50 kg, sits on a cliff that is 50 m high. The boulder is pushed off of the cliff. How much kinetic ener

50 +50 =100 Since it’s sitting on a 50m cliff that’s high with a mass of 50 kg it would be adding because once it goes down it’s adding speed

Conservation equations are powerful equations, because of how versatile and flexible they are to different physical situations.

Temka [501]

Answer:

b) false

Explanation:

Since in the given situation it is mentioned that the mass conversation would be simple and same applied to the fluids with care also the conservation of momentum would be applied to any type of closed system like collisions

But as we know that

In the inelastic collisions, the total kinetic energy would not be remain conserved

So the given statement is false

A 9.0-V battery (with nonzero resistance) and switch are connected in series across the primary coil of a transformer. The secon

qwelly [4]

Answer:

N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

Explanation:

A transformer is a system that induces a voltage in the secondary due to the variation of voltage in the primary, the ratio of voltages is determined by the expression

ΔV₂ = N₂ /N₁ ΔV₁

where ΔV₂ and ΔV₁ are the voltage in the secondary and primary respectively and N is the number of windings on each side.

In this case, they indicate that the primary voltage is 9.0 V and the secondary voltage is 120 V

therefore we calculate the winding ratio

ΔV₂ /ΔV₁ = N₂ / N₁

N₂ / N₁ = 120/9

N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

s good clarify that in transformers the voltage must be alternating (AC)
