Answer:

<em>a. The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground</em>

<em>b. The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff</em>

Explanation:

Horizontal motion occurs when an object is thrown horizontally with an initial speed v from a height h above the ground. When it happens, the object moves through a curved path determined by gravity until it hits the ground.

The time taken by the object to hit the ground is calculated by:

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

The range is defined as the maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object and it can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v.t

The man is standing on the edge of the h=20 m cliff and throws a rock with a 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

The rock takes 2.02 seconds to hit the ground

b.

The range is calculated now:

\displaystyle d=10\cdot 2.02

d = 20.2 m

The rock lands at 20,2 m from the base of the cliff

Why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator
svp [43]
<h2>Question</h2>

why freezer is made in the upper part of refrigrator

<h2>✒ Answer</h2>

the cold air produced from it is denser than the warmer air in the bottom

<h3>Explaination</h3>

Freezer is normally provided at the top of the refrigerator, because density of the cold air is high compared to the hot air. In a refrigerator the air contacts with the cooling coil and gets cooling.Because of the high density the cold air gets down and the warm air/hot air moves upward and gets cooling from the cooling coil/evaporator coil. This process is repeated. If the Freezer is provided at the bottom place of the refrigerator, the cold air can't to move full area of the refrigerator. So the freezer is normally provided at the top at the refrigerator

In preparation for building a space station, an astronaut removes a self-telescoping uniform rod from the cargo bay and releases
emmainna [20.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of angular momentum. This can be expressed mathematically as a function of inertia and angular velocity, that is:

L = I\omega

Where,

I = Moment of Inertia

\omega= Angular Velocity

For the given object the moment of inertia is equivalent to

I = \frac{mr^2}{12}

Considering that the moment of inertia varies according to distance, and that there are two of these without altering the mass we will finally have to

L_i = L_f

I_i \omega_1 = I_f \omega_2

(\frac{mr_{initial}^2}{12})(\omega_1)=(\frac{mr_{final}^2}{12})(\omega_2)

(r_{initial}^2})(\omega_1)=(r_{final}^2)(\omega_2)

Our values are given as,

r_{initial} = 3m\\\omega_1 = 0.05rad/s \\r_{final}=1.5m

Replacing we have,

(3^2})(0.05)=(1.5^2)(\omega_2)

\omega_2 = 0.2rad/s

Therefore the angular speed after the catch slips is 0.2rad/s

As a superhero, what are the advantages or disadvantages of using non-contact forces (like magnetic and electrical fields produc
inna [77]
Well if that’s the case and it wasn’t obvious you were using the power you could say things like being unseen while your doing it like a silent killer or maybe not having to rush in with your fists.a disadvantage would be that you could accidentally use your power and hurt an innocent person
