If you drop a rock off a cliff and it hits the ground 3 seconds later how tall is that cliff

Physics

6 0

Answer:

Basic kinematics, negating drag and assuming ideal conditions, we use the equation:

d=vi*t+1/2*a*t^2

Since vi is 0 (we know this because you’re dropping it, not throwing it)…

…and the only acceleration acting on it is gravity, a=9.8 m/s^2…

…we get

d=1/2(9.8)(5)^2

Explanation:

Some quick mental math tells us that this is about 125 m.

Plugging it in, we find it to be 122.5 m.

I don't understand how to find the frequency and period of wavelengths. Can anyone help me?
nordsb [41]

Frequency of a wave =

                 (speed of the wave) divided by (wavelength)
or
                 (1) divided by (period of the wave) .


Period of the wave =

                   (wavelength) divided by (speed of the wave)
or
                   (1) divided by (frequency of the wave) .

Using the rules for significant figures, what do you get when you subtract 15.54 from 508.9538? A. 493 B. 493.4 C. 493.41 D. 493
IceJOKER [234]

You get 493.41 when you subtract 15.54 from 508.953 using the rules for significant figures.

 

For addition and subtraction, look at the decimal portion (i.e., to the right of the decimal point) of the numbers ONLY. Here is what to do:

1) Count the number of significant figures in the decimal portion of each number in the problem. (The digits to the left of the decimal place are not used to determine the number of decimal places in the final answer.)

2) Add or subtract in the normal fashion.

3) Round the answer to the LEAST number of places in the decimal portion of any number in the problem.

 

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the third choice or letter C. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

A deep-space vehicle moves away from the Earth with a speed of 0.870c. An astronaut on the vehicle measures a time interval of 3
kondaur [170]

Answer:

t₀ = 1.55 s

Explanation:

According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, when an object moves with a speed comparable to speed of light, the time interval measured for the event, by an observer in  motion relative to the event is not the same as measured by an observer at rest.

It is given as:

t = t₀/[√(1 - v²/c²)]

where,

t = time measured by astronaut in motion = 3.1 s

t₀ = time required according to observer on earth = ?

v = relative velocity = 0.87 c

c = speed of light

3.1 s = t₀/[√(1 - 0.87²c²/c²)]

(3.1 s)(0.5) = t₀

<u>t₀ = 1.55 s</u>
