The woman was standing on a cliff 30 meters above where she landed. There was a safety fence 4 meters from the cliff edge that w

ould have prevented her from taking a long distance to run and leap off the cliff. She landed 12 meters away from the base of the cliff. Her launch speed was calculated to be 4.86 m/s, meaning that to travel those 12 meters, she had to be traveling at 10.87 miles per hour (or moving faster than a runner at a 5.5 minute mile pace) as she left the cliff. Put all this information together. Why did forensic scientists determine that the woman’s body was thrown instead of concluding that she jumped off the cliff?

Answer:

Forensic scientists determined that the woman’s body was thrown off the cliff because after considering the velocity and angle of the projectile needed in relationship to the cliff she could not have reached those speeds and cleared the safety fence 4m away from the cliff’s edge. She would have been going faster than a 5.5 minute mile pace and she was not an athletic person.

Two cars are moving in the same direction at the same speed of (72.0 kmh). What is
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

0 km/h

Explanation:

Relative speed is the speed of a moving body with respect to another.

When two bodies move in the same direction then the relative speed is calculated as difference of their speeds.

In this case;

The two cars have the same speed. The relative speed will be;

72 km/h -72 km/h = 0 km/h

A 87 arrow is fired from a bow whose string exerts an average force of 105 on the arrow over a distance of 75 .
timofeeve [1]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

V^2 = 2AS = 2FS/M

V = sqrt(2FS/M) = sqrt(2*105*.75/.087) = 44.52817783 = 42.5 mps

So the speed of the arrow as it leaves the bow is 42.5 mps.

I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Why do ice cubes always float at the top of a glass of water?
AnnZ [28]

Because water is a very very very very very unusual substance ... It's
the only known substance whose solid form is less dense than its liquid
form near the same temperature.

In other words, water is the only known substance for which a solid lump
of it floats in a liquid glass of it.

If that were not true ... if the behavior of the density of water around its
freezing temperature were the same as the density of all other known
substances ... then life on Earth would be impossible.

Think about that for a while !  Ya gotta admire whoever it was that designed water !

What step of the rock cycle happens as the sea stacks are broken down
lesya692 [45]

D. Weathering

The six steps of the rock cycle includes Weathering and Erosion, Transportation, Deposition, Compaction and Cementation. Metamorphism, Rock Melting.

Deposition is the process where rock particles sink at the rivers and become sediment.

Weathering is the process by which wind and water breaks down igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks. The process refers to large rocks broken down into smaller pieces and the broken off particles stay in the area.

please help! need a answer as quick as possible please. i need help with questions 1 and 2 ! thank you
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

1.)When you arrive from school and you smell cookies baking in the kitchen your brain will tell you that you are hungry and that you should go to the kitchen at that point your sense organs like your nose helps you to detect that something is baking(cookies)and your nervous system (brain)will tell you that you are hungry and it will command/direct your brain to go to the kitchen then for you to eat the cookies and drink the milk the digestive system is going go help you to chew,swallow and digest the food which has been taken and when you also run to the kitchen at the beginning your brain will direct your skeletal and muscular system because the skeletons and muscles work hand in hand,and when you finish your meal the body will circulate some nutrients or minerals from the food or snack taken to other parts of the body for energy.

2.)When you sleep the whole body is asleep except the heart which needs to continue circulating blood around the whole system and sometimes the brain may not rest when you are sleeping it may continue to do it's work that's why some people usually sleep walk or sleep talk,it means the brain is not at rest and still doing some things....Thank you for the question I hope it is very useful to you.
