Answer:

45m

Explanation:

Let V_0 be the horizontal speed of the keys and D be the horizontal distance covered by the keys.

V_0= 8.0 \frac ms

D= 28 m

The initial velocity in the vertical direction is 0.

Let g be the acceleration due to gravity, which always acts vertically downwards, so, it will not change the horizontal direction of the speed, i.e. V_0 will remain constant throughout the projectile motion.

Let t be the total time of flight in seconds. So,

D= V_0t

\Rightarrow 28=8t

\Rightarrow t=3 s \; \cdots (i)

Let H be the hight of the cliff.

Now, from the equation of motion

s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2\;\cdots(ii)

Where is the displacement is the direction of force, is the initial velocity in the direction of force,   is the constant acceleration due to force and is the time of flight.

Here, , and  (negative sign is for taking the sigh convention positive in the direction as shown in the figure.)

From equation (ii)

-H=0\times t + \frac 1 2 (-g)t^2

\Rightarrow H= \frac 1 2 gt^2

Take g=  10 \frac m{s^2} and put the value of t from equation (i), we have

H=\frac 1 2 \times 10\times 3^2

\Rightarrow H= 45 m.

Hence, the height of the cliff was 45 m.

The tension in the string with friction would be the biggest because of the involvement of the force of gravity. This would result in that the friction force that is acting on the system. There is no friction in the frictionless system, and only the force of gravity is relevant.

Choose the correct explanation of whether the discovery should be considered reasonable or surprising.
earnstyle [38]

Answer: a. This would be exciting, but not surprising. Heat from Martian volcanoes may well be enough to melt water under the Mars' surface.

Explanation: It was recently observed by a team of geological researchers that there exist some activity at the crust of the planet mars. This activity are volcanic in nature and estimated to be about 10kilometers large. Also this volcanic eruptions in the planet mars core are described as among the largest in our solar system. Therefore it won't be a surprise that Heat from Martian volcanoes may well be enough to melt water under the Mars' surface.

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²
