Answer:
<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>
<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>
Explanation:
Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.
The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.
a,
The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:


t = 2.02 s
The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground
b.
The range is calculated now:

d = 20.2 m
The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff
Answer:
The weights are 1 kg, 3kg, 9kg and 27kg.
Explanation:
The weights are 1 kg, 3kg, 9kg and 27kg.
1+3+9+27= 40
27+9+3= 39
27+9+3-1=38
27+9+1=37
27+9=36
27+9-1=35
27+9+1-3=34
27+9-3=33
27+9-3-1=32
27+3+1=31
27+3=30
27+3-1=29
27+1=28
27
27-1=26
27+1-3=25
27-3=24
27-3-1=23
27+3+1-9=22
27+3-9=21
27+3-9-1=20
Like this all the weights from 1 to 40 kg can be made using 1,3,9 and 27 kg.
Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.
Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference. So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative.
What that means is: You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.
(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom. Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________
Regarding the other choices:
-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes. So is potential energy.
-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.
Answer:
a)
= 0.25 m / s b) u = 0.25 m / s
Explanation:
a) To solve this problem let's start with the conservation of the moment, for this we define a system formed by the ball plus the dog, in this case all the forces are internal and the moment is conserved
We will write the data
m₁ = 0.40 kg
v₁₀ = 9.0 m / s
m₂ = 14 kg
v₂₀ = 0
Initial
po = m₁ v₁₀
Final
= (m₁ + m₂) vf
po = pf
m₁ v₁₀ = (m₁ + m₂) 
= v₁₀ m₁ / (m₁ + m₂)
= 9.0 (0.40 / (0.40 +14)
= 0.25 m / s
b) This is the reference frame of the center of mass of the system in this case the speed of this frame is the speed of the center of mass
u = 0.25 m / s
In the direction of movement of the ball
c) Let's calculate the kinetic energy in both moments
Initial
K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀² +0
K₀ = ½ 0.40 9 2
K₀ = 16.2 J
Final
= ½ (m₁ + m₂)
2
= ½ (0.4 +14) 0.25 2
= 0.45 J
ΔK = K₀ - 
ΔK = 16.2-0.445
ΔK = 1575 J
These will transform internal system energy
d) In order to find the kinetic energy, we must first find the velocities of the individual in this reference system.
v₁₀’= v₁₀ -u
v₁₀’= 9 -.025
v₁₀‘= 8.75 m / s
v₂₀ ‘= v₂₀ -u
v₂₀‘= - 0.25 m / s
‘=
- u
= 0
Initial
K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀‘² + ½ m₂ v₂₀‘²
Ko = ½ 0.4 8.75² + ½ 14.0 0.25²
Ko = 15.31 + 0.4375
K o = 15.75 J
Final
= ½ (m₁ + m₂) vf’²
= 0
All initial kinetic energy is transformed into internal energy in this reference system
