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.

Sound waves with a constant frequency of 250 hertz are traveling through air at stp. what is the wavelength of the sound waves
Deffense [45]

Answer:

wave length is 1.2m

Explanation:

since formula of wave length is v/f

v(speed of sound in air at stp is 300ms^-1)

f(frequency 250hertz)

then wave length is 300÷250 which give 1.2m

A ball is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s. How far will the ball go before hit
tia_tia [17]

The distance travelled by the ball that is thrown horizontally from a window that is 15.4 meters high at a speed of 3.01 m/s is 5.34 m

s = ut + 1 / 2 at²

s = Distance

u = Initial velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

Vertically,

s = 15.4 m

u = 0

a = 9.8 m / s²

15.4 = 0 + ( 1 / 2 * 9.8 * t² )

t² = 3.14

t = 1.77 s

Horizontally,

u = 3.01 m / s

a = 0 ( Since there is no external force )

s = ( 3.01 * 1.77 ) + 0

s = 5.34 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the ball before hitting the ground is 5.34 m

If an object accelerates from rest, with a constant of 8 m/s2, what will its velocity be after 35s?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<em>Its speed will be 280 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the speed of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

If a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, vf can be calculated as:

v_f=v_o+at

The object accelerates from rest (vo=0) at a constant acceleration of a=8\ m/s^2. The final speed at t=35 seconds is:

v_f=0+8*35

v_f=280\ m/s

Its speed will be 280 m/s

A wave x meters long has a speed of y meters per second. The frequency of the wave is
Sergio [31]
The correct answer is (b.) y/x hertz. That is because the formula to get the frequency is f =  v / w. The following values (v=y meters / second; wavelength = x meters) must be substituted to the equation, which leaves you y/x hertz.

Explain why it is better to jump and land with bent knees rather than straight legs? Use key physics vocabulary.
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Bent knees

Explanation:

Depending the height your jumping from, if you were jumping from a high structure it's best if you jump and land on knees so you dont sprang your ankles from jumping and landing on your straight legs, you could even pull a muscle if you land on straight legs.
