31.3m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 40kg

Height of cliff = 50m

Unknown:

Speed of rock when it hits ground = ?

Solution:

We are going to use the appropriate motion equation to solve this problem

The rock is falling with the aid of gravitational force. The force is causing it to accelerate with an amount of velocity.

  Using;

                      V²  = U² + 2gH

V = unknown velocity

U = initial velocity = O

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H = height of fall

since the initial velocity of the bodyg is 0

     V²  = 2gH

    V= √2gH = √2 x 9.8 x 50 = 31.3m/s

A 100-N force causes an object to<br> accelerate at 2 m/s/s. What is the<br> mass of the object?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

50\; \rm kg.

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law, the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the net force \sum F on it. In particular, if the mass of the object is m, then

\sum F = m \cdot a.

Rewrite this equation to obtain:

\displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a}.

In this case, the assumption is that the 100\; \rm N force is the only force that is acting on the object. Hence, the net force \sum F on the object would also be

Make sure that all values are in their standard units. Forces should be in Newtons (same as \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2}, and the acceleration of the object should be in meters-per-second-squared (\rm m \cdot s^{-2}). Apply the equation \displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a} to find the mass of the object.

\displaystyle m = \frac{100\; \rm N}{2\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} = 50\; \rm kg.

What happens to a current when the electric field in the wire increase
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

If the voltage is increased then the electric field is higher, and electron velocity (average) is proportional to this field. Then you have an increase in speed. And current is total charge passing per time unit, so current is proportional to velocity value of charge (and to voltage in resistors and wire).
