Answer:

<em>a. t = 2.02 s </em>

<em>b. d = 20.2 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion </u>

If an object is thrown horizontally from a height h with a speed v, it describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The time the object takes to hit the ground can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The time does not depend on the initial speed.

The range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated by the equation:

\displaystyle d=v.t

The man standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff throws a rock with an initial horizontal speed of v=10 m/s.

a.

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20}{9.8}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{4.0816}

t = 2.02 s

b.

The range is:

\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02

d = 20.2 m

lianna [129]

Answer:

2(maximum), -2(minimum), -2(maximum).

Explanation:

V(t)= 2πcos πt--------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Therefore, there is a need to integrate v(t) to get S(t).

S(t)= 2×sinπt + C ------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Applying the condition given, we have s(0)= 0.

S(0)= 2sin ×π(0) + C.

Which means that; 0+C= 0. That is; C=0.

S(t)= 2 sin πt.

The mass moves to its highest positions at time,t=half(1/2=.5) and time,t=2.5.

Take note that;  sin(π/2) = sin(5π/2) = 1 .

Also, the mass moves to its lowest position at time,t=(3/2); also, sin(3π/2) = -1.

Therefore, we have that 2 maximum; -2 minimum and -2 maximum.

An object is placed at zero zero on a Number line. It moves three units to the right, then four units to the left, and then 60 u
STatiana [176]

Answer:

the displacement of the object is 5 units

Explanation:

The computation of the displacement of the object is shown below:

= Move to the right + move to the right - move to the left

= 6 units + 3 units - 4 units

= 9 units - 4 units

= 5 units

Hence, the displacement of the object is 5 units
