<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>

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

4.68227 °C

Explanation:

m_o = Mass of object = 500 kg

m_w = Mass of water = 25 kg

c = Specific heat of water at 20°C = 4186 J/kg°C

h = Height from which the object falls = 100 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The potential energy and heat will balance each other

PE=Q\\\Rightarrowmc m_ogh=m_oc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{m_ogh}{m_oc}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{500\times 9.8\times 100}{25\times 4186}\\\Rightarrow \Delta=4.68227\ ^{\circ}C

The temperature change in the water is 4.68227 °C

15) A 1720 kg car accelerates at a rate of 3.0 m/s2. How much force is the car's engine producing? (use the formula F=ma
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 5160 N</h3>

Explanation:

To find the force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration we use the formula

<h3>Force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 1720 kg

acceleration = 3.0 m/s²

We have

Force = 1720 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>5160 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

The rotation of Earth is equivalent to one day which is comprised of 24 hours. To determine the number of miles in Earth's circumference, one simply have to multiply the given rate by the appropriate conversion factor and dimensional analysis. This is shown below.
 
                  C = (1038 mi/h)(24 h/1 day)
                   C = 24,912 miles

From the given choices, the nearest value would have to be 20,000 mile. The answer is the second choice.
