Answer: a) 60m/s b) 360m c) 180m

Explanation:

Projectile motion occurs when an object launched into space falls freely under the influence of gravity.

If the time of flight (T) = 2Usin(theta)/g where;

U is the velocity of the object

theta is the angle at which the object was thrown

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Given T = 6 seconds

theta= 90°(object launched upwards)

g = 10m/s²

U= ?

Substituting in the formula we have;

6 = Usin90°/10

60 = Usin90°

since sin90° = 1

U = 60m/s

The balls initial velocity is 60m/s.

b) Maximum Height reached (H) = U²sin²theta/g

Given U = 60m/s, theta = 90° g = 10m/s²

H = 60²(sin90°)²/10

H = 3600/10

H = 360m.

The maximum height reached is 360m

c) at maximum height, v = 0

Using v² = u² - 2gh

0 = 60² - 2(10)h

-3600 = -20h

h = 3600/20

h = 180m

The cliff is 180m tall

5. Which unit of electricity does the work in a circuit?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Volt

Explanation:

Voltage is what makes electric charges move. ... Voltage is also called, in certain circumstances, electromotive force (EMF). Voltage is an electrical potential difference, the difference in electric potential between two places. The unit for electrical potential difference, or voltage, is the volt.

The ohm is defined as an electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of one ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.

The coulomb (symbolized C) is the standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). ... In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s.

An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. One ampere of current represents one coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018 charge carriers) moving past a specific point in one second.

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J

Why won't a very bright beam of red light impart more energy to an ejected electron than a feeble beam of violet light?
bearhunter [10]
This is related to the energy carried by photons of light the energy of each photon is proportional to the frequency of the light since red light has a lower frequency then violet light and photons of red light carry less energy than the photons of violet light as a result the red protons eject electrons that have less energy than the ejected electrons by Violet photons

What important factor does the ozone layer serve in earth's atmosphere?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The Ozone layer is responsible for the absorption of harmful radiation from the sun before it hits the surface or exterior structure of our planet. It is known to be a belt of a known occurring gas, known as “ozone” which is sealed around the Earth’s atmosphere. It serves as a shield, which absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.
