Answer:

Y = 176.4 m

Explanation:

For the height of cliff we will analyze the vertical motion. We will apply the 2nd equation of motion:

Y = V₀y*t + (0.5)gt²

where,

Y = Height = ?

V₀y = Initial Vertical Velocity = 0 m/s (since, ball is thrown horizontally)

t = time = 6 s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

Y = (0 m/s)(6 s) + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)(6 s)²

<u>Y = 176.4 m</u>

A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, heading due north at 8.00 m/s relative to the water. The local ocean current i
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth V = 9.05 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The local ocean current is  = 1.52 m/s

Direction \theta = 40°

Velocity component in X - direction V_{x} = 1.52 \cos 40°

V_{x} = 1.164 \frac{m}{s}

Velocity component in Y - direction V_{y} = 8 + 1.52 \sin 40°

V_{y} = 8.97 \frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the ship relative to the earth

V = \sqrt{V_{x}^{2} + V_{y} ^{2}  }

Put the values of V_{x} and V_{y} we get,

⇒ V = \sqrt{1.164^{2} + 8.97 ^{2}  }

⇒ V = 9.05 \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of the ship relative to the earth.

Except for the nodes on a standing wave, what is the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion?
Katen [24]

Take into account that in a standing wave, the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion, is simply a multiple of the fundamental harmonic fo, that is:

f = n·fo

where n is an integer and fo is the first harmonic or fundamental.

fo is given by the length L of a string, in the following way:

fo = v/λ = v/(L/2) = 2v/L

becasue in the fundamental harmonic, the length of th string coincides with one hal of the wavelength of the wave.

A 1 900-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.00 m before coming into contact
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

471392.4 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Just before contact with the beam,

mgh = Fd.................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the beam, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height. F =  average Force on the beam, d = distance.

make f the subject of the equation

F = mgh/d................ Equation 2

Given: m = 1900 kg, h = 4 m, d = 15.8 = 0.158 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

F = 1900(4)(9.8)/0.158

F = 471392.4 N
