The speed of the rock at 20 m is 34.3 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy: the mechanical energy of the rock, sum of its potential energy + its kinetic energy) must be conserved in absence of air resistance. So we can write:

U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f

where :

U_i is the initial potential energy

K_i is the initial kinetic energy

U_f is the final potential energy

K_f is the final kinetic energy

The equation can also be rewritten as  follows:

mgh_i + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where:

m = 100 kg is the mass of the rock

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h_i = 80 is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial speed  (the rock starts at rest)

h_f = 20 m is the final height of the rock

v is the final speed when h = 20 m

And solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{2g(h_i-h_f)}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(80-20)}=34.3 m/s

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4.25 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Change in velocity considering the x component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_x= 16cos 45^{\circ}-24=-12.6862915 m/s

Change in velocity considering the y component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_y= 16sin 45^{\circ}-0=11.3137085 m/s

Resultant change in velocity=\sqrt {(-12.6862915 m/s)^{2}+(11.3137085 m/s)^{2}}=16.9982938 m/s

Acceleration= change in velocity per unit time hence

a= \frac {16.9982938}{4}=4.24957345\approx 4.25 m/s^{2}

A 15 kg object and a 18 kg object are connected by a massless compressed spring and
MatroZZZ [7]

Hi there!

This is an example of a recoil collision.

Using the conservation of momentum:

p_i = p_f

The initial momentum is 0 kgm/s (objects start from rest), so:

p_f = 0

We are given that the 15 kg block has a velocity of 12 m/s to the left, so:

m_1v_1' + m_2v_2' = 0 \\\\15(-12) + 18v_2' = 0 \\\\

Solve for v2':

18v_2' = 180 \\\\v_2' = \boxed{10 m/s}

What would happen if water could not condense in the atmosphere
Harrizon [31]
-- As more water evaporated from lakes, rivers, ponds, and people, the
water vapor in the atmosphere would build up and build up and build up,
until the atmosphere could not hold any more water vapor. 

-- The water would stay there in the atmosphere.  There would never be
any more rain, sleet, hail, fog, drizzle, mist, or snow.

-- Rivers flow out of lakes and ponds, carrying lake water to the sea. 
Rain keeps the lakes refilled. 
   The lakes would eventually dry out as the rivers drained them, and then
the rivers would run dry.  It would be the end of trees, forests, and farming.

-- At the instant when the atmosphere became full of all the water vapor
it could hold, all evaporation on Earth would stop. 

. . . . . When you washed the dishes, you could leave them standing in the
drainer rack for a week, but they would never dry.

. . . . . You could hang up your bath towel and the laundry in your room or
in the back yard, but it would never dry.

. . . . . When you boiled a pot of water on the stove, I'm not sure exactly
what would happen, but I know that the steam could not just rise from
the pot and disappear.  The atmosphere couldn't absorb it, so I guess
it would be this dense cloud of boiling hot fog that would rise from the pot
and fill the kitchen.  If you walked through it, it would swirl and drift around.
Eventually it would settle on the walls, and when the droplets got big enough,
they would run down the walls and make puddles on the floor.

. . . . . It would be pretty bad for people and animals.  We generate a lot of heat
inside our bodies, and we get rid of the heat by perspiring.  Moisture comes
out of our skin and evaporates into the air, which takes heat with it. 
   If the atmosphere was full with as much water vapor as it could hold, then
perspiration could not evaporate.  We would ALWAYS be walking around
in 100% humidity, with water running off of our skin onto the floor.  The only
way we could cool ourselves would be to pour cold water on ourselves. 
Anybody who didn't do that every couple of minutes would pass out from
heat exhaustion, as his inside temperature got too high.

Our dogs don't even perspire.  The only way they can get rid of heat is to
make their tongues wet and then blow air over it.  That's why when they
run, or when the weather is hot, they drink a lot and pant fast.  The water
evaporating from their tongues is the only way they can get rid of heat. 
If the atmosphere could not take any evaporation, then our dogs would
probably stop moving around at all, and just lay around all day, drinking
cold water.

In short, I think it's accurate to say that if condensation of water in the
atmosphere stopped, then evaporation would stop, and it would only be
a matter of time before life on Earth stopped.
