a stone is dropped from top of a tower of 50m high ,simltaneously another stone is thrown upward with a speed of 20m/s find the

aleksklad [387]

At the time that I'll call ' Q ', the height of the stone that was
dropped from the tower is

   H = 50 - (1/2 G Q²) ,

and the height of the stone that was tossed straight up
from the ground is

   H = 20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

The stones meet when them's heights are equal,
so that's the time when

   <span>50 - (1/2 G Q²) = 20Q - (1/2 G Q²) .

This is looking like it's going to be easy.

Add </span><span>(1/2 G Q²) to each side.
Then it says
       50 = 20Q

Divide each side by 20: 2.5 = Q .

And there we are. The stones pass each other

   2.5 seconds

after they are simultaneously launched.

2. A 50 kg diver is standing on the edge of a 15 m high cliff. What is his potential energy?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J

Car B has the same mass as Car A but is going twice as fast. If the same constant force brings both cars to a stop, how far will

evablogger [386]

Answer:four times

Explanation:

Given

mass of both cars A and B are same suppose m

but velocity of car B is same as of car A

Suppose velocity of car A is u

Velocity of car B is 2 u

A constant force is applied on both the cars such that they come to rest by travelling certain distance

using to find the distance traveled

where, v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration(offered by force)

s=displacement

final velocity is zero

For car A

$0-(u)^2=2\times a\times s$

$s_a=\frac{u^2}{2a}------1$

For car B

$0-(2u)^2=2\times a\times s_b$

$s_b=\frac{4u^2}{2a}----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{s_a}{s_b}=\frac{1}{4}$

thus $s_b=4\cdot s_a$

distance traveled by car B is four time of car A

what causes places near the equator to receive more direct sunlight than the poles? the poles are farther away from the sun than

Andru [333]

This is due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. Although the Sun shines on Earth, because of how the Earth is tilted, the equator is more directly hit compared to places found on the poles. The poles are hit at an angle, therefore the sunlight they receive is lesser than the places at the equator.
