A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 27.0 m/s from the edge of the roof of a 21.0-m-tall building. The rock

doesn't hit the building on its way back down and lands in the street below. Ignore air resistance. Part A: What is the speed of the rock just before it hits the street?
Part B: How much time elapses from when the rock is thrown until it hits the street?

Answer:

A. 33.77 m/s

B. 6.20 s

Explanation:

Frame of reference:

Gravity g=-9.8 m/s^2; Initial position (roof) y=0; Final Position street y= -21 m

Initial velocity upwards v= 27 m/s

Part A. Using kinematics expression for velocities and distance:

V_{final}^{2}=V_{initial}^{2}+2g(y_{final}-y_{initial})\\V_{f}^{2}=27^{2}-2*9.8(-21-0)=33.77 m/s

Part B. Using Kinematics expression for distance, time and initial velocity

y_{final}=y_{initial}+V_{initial}t+\frac{1}{2} g*t^{2}\\==> -0.5*9.8t^{2}+27t+21=0\\==> t_1 =-0.69 s\\t_2=6.20 s

Since it is a second order equation for time, we solved it with a calculator. We pick the positive solution.

Two waves meet and overlap. The first wave has an amplitude of 4.6 centimeters and the second wave has an amplitude of 2 centime
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant wave as the result of  overlap of two waves depends upon the phase difference between the two.  If the waves meet crest to trough , the phase difference is 180 degree or they are in opposite phase . Hence they will destroy each other . The amplitude of resultant wave can be obtained by subtracting the amplitudes of two waves. They will interfere destructively.

Amplitude of resultant gives waves = 4.6 - 2 = 2.6 cm.

A soccer player extends her lower leg in a kicking motion by exerting a force with the muscle above the knee in the front of her
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

10.09 N

Explanation:

Analogously to Newton's second law, torque can be defined as:

\tau=I\alpha

Here, I is the moment of inertia and \alpha is the angular acceleration. We have:

\tau=(0.65kg*m^2)(29.5\frac{rad}{s^2})\\\tau=19.18N*m

Torque is the vector product of the position vector of the point at which the force is applied by the force vector:

\vec{\tau}=\vec{r}\times \vec{F}

Since the effective lever arm is perpendicular to the force, the angle between them is 90^\circ. The magnitud of this vector product is defined as:

\tau=rFsen\theta.

Solving for F and replacing the known values:

F=\frac{\tau}{rsen\theta}\\F=\frac{19.18N*m}{1.9m(sen90^\circ)}\\F=10.09N

What type of climate would be near cold ocean currents? PLEASE HELP QUICK!!
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

hot humid with lots of rain.

Explanation:

ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water sending heat to the polar regions and helping the tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate. the tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption , and thus ocean evaporation, is highest.
