Answer:

The cliff is 12.632 meter high.

Explanation:

Each stone experiments a free fall motion, that is, an uniformly accelerated motion due to gravity. We construct the respective equations of motion for each stone:

First stone

y_{1} = y_{o,1} +v_{o,1}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2} (1)

Second stone

y_{2} = y_{o,2} +v_{o,2}\cdot (t-2) +\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot (t-2)^{2} (2)

Where:

y_{1}, y_{2} - Final height of the first and second stone, in meters.

y_{o,1}, y_{o,2} - Initial height of the first and second stone, in meters.

v_{o,1}, v_{o,2} - Initial speed of the first and second stone, in meters per second.

t - Time, in seconds.

g - Gravitational acceleration, in meters per square second.

If we know that y_{o,1} = y_{o,2}, y_{1} = y_{2} = 0\,m, v_{o,1} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{o,2} = -30\,\frac{m}{s} and g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then we find that time when both stones hit the ground simultaneously is:

4.904\cdot t^{2} = -30\cdot (t-2)+4.904\cdot (t-2)^{2}

4.904\cdot t^{2} = -30\cdot t + 60 +4.904\cdot (t^{2}-4\cdot t +4)

-30\cdot t +60 -19.616\cdot t +19.616 = 0

49.616\cdot t = 79.616

t = 1.605\,s

The height of the cliff is:

y_{1} = y_{o,1} +v_{o,1}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2}

y_{o,1} = 12.632\,m

The cliff is 12.632 meter high.

An object has a kinetic energy of 14 J and a mass of 17 kg , how fast is the object moving?
lisabon 2012 [21]
v ^{2} = Joules ÷ (0.5×Kilograms)

14J ÷ 8.5 = 1.64705882

Remember, 1.64705882 = v², so we need to find the square root.

The square root of 1.64705882 is 1.283377894464448

Hope this helps!

A year 11 pupil with a mass of 55kg swinging back on their chair and falling off it at a speed of 0.6m/s. What is his kinetic en
posledela

Answer:

Uk = 9.9 J

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energie (Uk), you can make use of this formula:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

given m = 55 kg and v = 0.6 m/s

Substituting in the formula gives:

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * (0.6)²

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * 0.36

Uk = 9.9 J

Extra:

Now let's examine the formula in relation to the SI units. <em>If you understand the following, it will give you great insight in how smart Phisics is inter twained by looking at formulas and their standard units. It will save you time in future to convert formulas, if you use the right standard units.</em>

The formula for kinetic energie is:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

Standard SI unit for mass m is kg.

Standard SI unit for speed v is m/s.

So v * v = v² and therefore v² must have the standard SI unit of m²/s².

From the formula, you see that the unit of Uk must be kg*m²/s² and since Uk is normally given in J, these both forms must be the same !

The main unit for Uk is the Joule. <em>Now</em><em> </em><em>please</em><em> </em><em>see</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>picture</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>shows</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>relation</em><em> </em><em>between </em><em>the </em><em>J </em><em>and </em><em>other</em><em> SI units</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Please</em><em> </em><em>understand</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>construct</em><em> </em><em>your</em><em> </em><em>'own'</em><em> </em><em>formulas</em><em> </em><em>based</em><em> </em><em>these</em><em> </em><em>units</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Now</em><em> </em><em>here</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>time</em><em> </em><em>saver</em><em>:</em>

Because almost always the right units are <em>given</em> in a question, or because sometimes you can look up a constant in a table with an exotic and seemingly complicated unit, but that says a lot about the formula which must have been some how involved!

<em>By this, I hope you now understand the implication of using the right standard SI units and how that can help you figure out what formula is needed.</em>

What does the electric field strength tell about the electric firld?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The region around a charged particle where another charged particle experiences a force of attraction or repulsion is called electric field.

The strength of electric field is defined as the force experienced by the unit positive test charge.

E = F / q

Electric field strength is a vector quantity and it is measured in newton per coulomb.

Where, F is the force of attraction or repulsion between the two charges and q is the test charge on which the electric field strength is to be calculated.

The strength of electric field is more if the field is strong. It means more be the electric field strength at a point more be the electric field.

An emf of 28.0 mV is induced in a 501 turn coil when the current is changing at a rate of 12.0 A/s. What is the magnetic flux th
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵  Wb

Explanation:

The inductance of a coil is given as

L = e/(di/dt) ..................... Equation 1

Where L = inductance of the coil, e = induced e.m.f, di/dt = rate of change of current in the coil.

Also,

The inductance of each turn of the coil when a magnetic field is step up in the coil  is

L = NΦ/i ................. Equation 2

Where N = number of turns, Φ = magnetic field, i = current.

equating equation 1 and equation 2

e/(di/dt) = NΦ/i

making Φ the subject of the equation,

Φ = (e×i)/N.(di/dt) .................. Equation 3

Given: e = 28.0 mV = 0.028 V, N = 501 turns, di/dt = 12.0 A/s, i = 4.00 a

Substitute into equation 3,

Φ = (0.028×4)/(12×501)

Φ = 0.112/2004

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Weber

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Wb
