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 5.00-m-long uniform ladder, weighing 200 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.488  m  

Explanation:

If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane

cos θ = 1.2 / 5

Tan θ = 4.04

Let the height a person of weight 600 N  can climb be h from the ground .

Distance from the base point  where ladder touches the floor  = h / tanθ

= h / 4.04

Total reaction force = total downward force

R = 200 + 600

800 N

Frictional force = μ R

= .2 x 800

= 160 N

Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder  where it  touches the floor  and balancing them

200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = μ R x  1.2 / tanθ ( reaction  at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is  R₁ and

R₁ =μ R   )

= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ

120  - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52

120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04

72.48= 148.51 h

h = 0.488  m

What is the net force on charge placed at the center of square of length 1m? All charges have same magnitude of 2 micro coulomb.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Electric Field intensity is zero.

The reason for that is:

All charges are placed at equal distances from the center of the square and have same magnitude and sign. This means they will exert equal and opposite forces on the test charge at the center. Net force will become Zero.

A certain sound is recorded by a microphone. The same microphone then detects a second sound, which is identical to the first on
katrin [286]

Answer:

Loudness of the second sound is more than the first one.

Explanation:

There are two sounds, the second sound is identical to first but the loudness of second is more than the first one.

As the frequency is same so the itch is same for both the sounds.

As the loudness depends on the amplitude of the sound so the loudness of the second sound is more than the first sound.

Michael Faraday was one of the first scientists to experiment with motors. How did Faraday design his first motor?
Margaret [11]
The correct option is D. 
Micheal Friday devised a wire which hanged down into a glass vessel that has a bar magnet secured at the bottom. He then filled the glass vessel with Mercury and connected the apparatus to a battery. This sent electricity through the wire, thus creating a magnetic field around it. This field interacted with the field around the magnet and cause the wire to rotate clock wisely.
