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.

14. Which is the relationship between photon energy and frequency?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The amount of energy is directly proportional to the photon's electromagnetic frequency and thus, equivalently, is inversely proportional to the wavelength. The higher the photon's frequency, the higher its energy.

i hope this helps.
