At t=0, a stone is dropped from a cliff above a lake; 1.6 s later another stone is thrown downward from the same point with an i

nitial speed of 32 m/s. Both stones hit the water at the same instant. Find the height of the cliff.

Answer:

27.52 meters is the height of the cliff.

Explanation:

Second equation of motion:

h=u\times t+\frac{1}{2}g\times t^2

u = Initial velocity

t = Time taken to cover h  distance

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Let the height of the cliff be h

Stone-1:

Initial velocity of the stone = u = 0 m/s

Time to cover h height of cliff, t = ?, g = 9.8 m/s^2

h=0 m/s\times t+\frac{1}{2}g\times t^2..[1] (Second equation of motion)

Stone-2:

Initial velocity of the stone = u' = 32 m/s,

Time to cover h height of cliff = t' = (t-1.6),

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h=32 m/s\times (t-1.6)+\frac{1}{2}g(t-1.6)^2..[2]

Both stones are covering same distance or height of the cliff: [1]= [2]

0 m/s\times t+\frac{1}{2}g\times t^2=32 m/s\times (t-1.6)+\frac{1}{2}g(t-1.6)^2

On solving for t:

t = 2.37 seconds

h=0 m/s\times 2.37 s+\frac{1}{2}g\times t^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 m/s^2\times (2.37 s)^2

h = 27.52 m

27.52 meters is the height of the cliff.

The weight of a basketball with a mass of 0.5 kg is _N.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

4.9N

Explanation:

The formula for weight is F = ma.

You plug in the mass of 0.5kg and an acceleration of 9.8 to get

F = (0.5)(9.8)

F = 4.9N

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Glaciers break rocks because of the thawing and icing of water in rock crevices. These rocks get carried in the glacier. The glaciers move because the base of the glaciers melts ever so slightly due to the weight of the glacier above (pressure reduces the melting point of ice). This smoothens the slipping of the glaciers . When the glaciers get to a warmer place, it melts and the rocks in it are deposited.
