<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?
t = 50.23 / </span><span>343 m/s
t = 0.15 s

</span><span>How long would it take light to travel this distance? 
t = 50.23 / </span><span>299 792 458 m / s
t = 1.68x10^-7 s</span>

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

106.52 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Initial distance between Carl and Isaac = 175 miles

speed of Isaac = 65 mph

Speed of Carl = 50 mph

Now, the Carl starts after 35 minutes, but the Isaac has already started so the distance covered by Isaac in 35 minutes will be

= \frac{35}{60}\times65

= 37.91 miles

Therefore,

the distance left between Isaac and Carl = 175 - 37.91 = 137.09 miles

Since Isaac and Carl are moving towards each other,

therefore the relative speed between the both = 65 + 50 = 115 mph

Hence, the time taken to meet = \frac{137.09}{115}

or

The time taken to meet = 1.192 hours

or

The time taken = 1.192 × 60 = 71.52 minutes

Therefore the total time Isaac have been travelling = 71.52 + 35

= 106.52 minutes

Consider a person sliding down a water slide at constant velocity. what are the forces acting on the person as they slide? are t
Andru [333]

Explanation :

When a person is sliding with constant velocity, the forces that are acting on him are :

(1) Weight, W = mg where g is acceleration due to gravity.

(2) Friction forces acting opposite to the direction of motion.

(3) Normal force.

The forces acting on the person is balanced because the person is sliding with constant velocity.

From figure it is clear that, friction force is balanced by w\ sin\theta and normal is balanced by w\ cos\theta.
