Why does an object roll faster down a steeper hill than a not so steep hill.

Physics

 The answer is : <span>Gravity draws an object towards its strongest point. The main things holding you back are air resistance and friction. As a hill gets steeper, you are more in line with the center of gravity, so it overcomes friction and you move faster. Eventually when you are moving vertically there is no friction other than air resistance itself. At this time you will accelerate at 32 feet per second every second until you either hit something or reach terminal velocity which is around 120 mph. Air resistance (on the Earth at least) will not allow you to travel any faster. Hope this Helped! Good Luck! :)</span>

Answer:

The answer is (d) is totally reflected

Explanation:

Using the total internal reflection concept.

This concept state that:

"If the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle then the light will not refract but it will reflect back totally"

Using the above statement, as incident angle is 42 degree and critical angle is 41 degree it means incident angle is greater than the critical angle. Therefore, light will not refract but it will totally reflected.

A rock is thrown from a cliff with a horizontal velocity of 12.6m/s it lands in the water below 1.45 seconds later, how high is
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The height of the cliff is 28.57 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the rock, u = 12.6 m/s

time of motion, t = 1.45 s

The height of the cliff is given by;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

h = (12.6 x 1.45) + ¹/₂(9.8)(1.45)²

h = 18.27 + 10.30

h = 28.57 m

Therefore, the height of the cliff is 28.57 m.
