<span>A rock is dropped from a sea cliff and hits the water 3.2s later. How high is the cliff?

t = sqrt(2y/g)
3.2 = sqrt(2y/9.81)
y = 50.23 m

</span><span>How long would it take sound to travel the same distance?

The collision between a hammer and a nail can be considered to be approximately elastic. estimate the kinetic energy acquired by
Setler [38]

Here we can use momentum conservation as in this type of collision there is no external force on it

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1 v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

now here we can say

m_1 = 10 g

v_{1i} = 0

m_2 = 550 g

v_{2i} = 3.5 m/s

now here we can say

10*0 + 550 * 3.5 = 10 v_{1f} + 550 v_{2f}

192.5 = v_{1f} + 55 v_{2f}

now by coefficient of restitution

for elastic collision we know that e = 1

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = e(v_{1i} - v_{2i})

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = 0 - 3.5

now by solving the two equation

56v_{2f} = 189

v_{2f} = 3.375 m/s

also we know that

v_{1f} = v_{2f} + 3.5 = 3.375 + 3.5 = 6.875 m/s

so final speed of the nail is 6.875 m/s

- How much force is needed to accelerate a 26 kg skier at 4 m/sec??
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

<h2>104 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 26 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>104 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.
liq [111]

The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.

p= mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 1800kg

v = 7.5m/s

Replacing we have that,

p = (1800)(7.5)

p = 13500kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the momentum is 13500kg\cdot m/s

Sapting Leng You have a string with a mass of 13.7 q. You stretch the string with a force of 8.39 N, giving it a length of 1.87
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

a)  \lambda=0.935\ \textup{m}

b) f=36.19\approx 36\ \textup{Hz}

Explanation:

Given:

String vibrates transversely fourth dynamic, thus n = 4

mass of the string, m = 13.7 g = 13.7 × 10⁻¹³ kg

Tension in the string, T = 8.39 N

Length of the string, L = 1.87 m

a) we know

L= n\frac{\lambda}{2}

where,

\lambda = wavelength

on substituting the values, we get

1.87= 4\times \frac{\lambda}{2}

or

\lambda=0.935\ \textup{m}

b) Speed of the wave (v) in the string is given as:

v =f\lambda

also,

v=\sqrt\frac{T}{(\frac{m}{L})}

equating both the formula for 'v' we get,

f\lambda=\sqrt\frac{T}{(\frac{m}{L})}

on substituting the values, we get

f\times 0.935=\sqrt\frac{8.39}{(\frac{13.7\times 10^{3}}{1.87})}

or

f=\frac{33.84}{0.935}

or

f=36.19\approx 36\ \textup{Hz}
