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.

A 1.00 -kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P8.62a). The object has
LekaFEV [45]

The distance D where the object comes to rest is 1.08.m.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>
  • The separation of one thing from another in space; the distance or separation in space between two objects, points, lines, etc.; remoteness. The distance of seven miles cannot be accomplished in one hour of walking.
  • Learn how to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the separation between two points using the distance formula. The Pythagorean theorem can be rewritten as d==(((x 2-x 1)2+(y 2-y 1)2)
  • The distance between any two places is the length of the line segment separating them. By measuring the length of the line segment that connects the two points in coordinate geometry, the distance between them may be calculated.

(c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

W_{total} =ΔKE ⇒ -0.25*1*9.8*D = 0-1/2*1*2.3^{2}

⇒D=\frac{0.5*2.3^{2} }{2.45}

⇒1.08.m

A bus leaves at 9 am with a group of tourists. They travel 350 km before they stop for lunch. Then they travel an additional 250
Anettt [7]

Average speed = Distance traveled / time taken

In this case Time taken = Difference in hours between 3 PM and 9 AM

                                        = 6 hours

Total distance traveled = 350 km + 250 km

                                       = 600 kilometers

So average speed = 600/6 = 100 km/hr

Average speed of bus = 27.78 m/s

So the bus's average speed = 27.78 m/s or 100 km/hr.

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.9 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.042 m, using a string of length 0
padilas [110]

Answer: T= 715 N

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the swinging mass, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r

At the moment that the mass be released, it wil continue moving in a straight line at the same tangential speed that it had just an instant before, which is the same speed included in the centripetal force expression.

So the kinetic energy will be the following:

K = 1/2 m v² = 15. 0 J

Solving for v², and replacing in the expression for T:

T = 1.9 Kg (3.97)² m²/s² / 0.042 m = 715 N
