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.

It takes 200 N to move a box 10 meters in 8 seconds. How much power is
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The equation of power is defined as Power = Workdone/Time Taken

And workdone = Force x Distance so using these equations we get they workdone is, 200x 10 = 2000Nm.

Dividing workdone with time will yield power, 2000 ÷ 8 = 250 Nm/s = 250W.

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it
TiliK225 [7]
Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.

Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.
