You are standing at the top of a cliff that has a stairstep configuration. There is a vertical drop of 6 m at your feet, then a

horizontal shelf of 5 m , then another drop of 4 m to the bottom of the canyon, which has a horizontal floor. You kick a 0.97 kg rock, giving it an initial horizontal velocity that barely clears the shelf below. 5 m ∆x 10 m v 6 m 4 m What initial horizontal velocity v will be required to barely clear the edge of the shelf below you? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Consider air friction to be negligible. Answer in units of m/s.\

Answer:

4.5 m/s

Explanation:

The rock must barely clear the shelf below, this means that the horizontal distance covered must be

d_x = 5 m

while the vertical distance covered must be

d_y = 6 m

The rock is thrown horizontally with velocity v_x, so we can rewrite the horizontal distance as

d_x = v_x t

where t is the time of flight. Re-arranging the equation,

t=\frac{d_x}{v_x} (1)

The vertical distance covered instead is

d_y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where we omit the term ut since the initial vertical velocity is zero. From this equation,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}} (2)

Equating (1) and (2), we can solve the equation to find v_x:

\frac{d_x}{v_x}=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}}\\\frac{d_x^2}{v_x^2}=\frac{2d_y}{g}\\v_x = d_x \sqrt{\frac{g}{2d_y}}=5\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{2(6)}}=4.5 m/s

Two electromagnets contain the same types of magnets
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: The first electromagnet has a more powerful current than

the second

Explanation:

Since the two electromagnets contain the same types of magnets and wires. If the magnet In the first moves much faster than the second. Therefore:

The first electromagnet has a more powerful current than the second

Because the induced EMF is proportional to the induced current.

Where the induced EMF depends on the speed of the magnet according to the formula below

EMF = BVL

So, increase in speed of the magnet will cause more powerful induced current and emf

Which is best supported by the data in the chart?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Option C: Current X has a lower potential difference than Current Y.

Explanation:

The chart above only shows the potential difference of difference current.

A careful observation of the chart shows that Current X has a lower potential difference than Current Y.
