*For free fall,

Initial velocity (u) = 0

g = 9.8m/s²

time(t) = 10s

Using the second equation of free fall;

s = ut + 1/2gt²

where 's' is the distance fallen.

s = 0(10) + 1/2(9.8)(10)²

s = 1/2(9.8)(100)

s = 490m.

*Initial horizontal velocity (Ux) = 3m/s

Initial vertical velocity (Uy) = 0

since it did not start with any vertical velocity.

Using the second equation of vertical downward motion:

h = Uyt + 1/2gt²

where h is the height of the cliff = 60m.

g = 9.8m/s²

60 = 0(t) = 1/2 (9.8)(t²)

60 = 4.9t²

t = √(60/4.9) = 3.5s.

Answer:

9.81 × 10 = 98.1 meters

vertical displacement is s=1/2 at^2 + vt

initial vertical velocity is 0 so s=1/2 at^2

a in this instance is gravitational acceleration so 60m= 1/2 (9.81)t^2

solve for t, t = 3.497s. //I corrected this answer as just now I misread horizontal as vertical.

What does frequency describe?

ddd [48]

The whole definition of frequency is: How often something happens.

Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.

One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.

"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent". That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.

Some other examples:

Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .

Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .

Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.

(If it's something per second, then we call it "Hertz". That's not for the car rental company. It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist. He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)

Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.

Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day

Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .

On level ground a shell is fired with an initial velocity of 49.0 m/s at 70.0 โ above the horizontal and feels no appreciable ai

xenn [34]

Answer:

Horizontal component = 16.8 m/s

Vertical component = 46.0 m/s

Explanation:

If we denote the initial velocity by v and the angle above the horizontal by θ,

the horizontal component of this initial velocity is given by

$v_x = v\cos \theta$

$v_x = (49.0\text{ m/s})\cos\,(70.0^\circ) = 16.8\text{ m/s}$

The vertical component is given by

$v_y = v\sin\theta$

$v_x = (49.0\text{ m/s})\sin\,(70.0^\circ) = 46.0\text{ m/s}$

true or false? short-wave heat radiation is given off by the earth when the earth absorbs long-wave radiation.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Hope this helps u, pls mark me brainlist

Explanation:

The sun emits shortwave radiation because it is extremely hot and has a lot of energy to give off. Once in the Earth's atmosphere, clouds and the surface absorb the solar energy. The ground heats up and re-emits energy as longwave radiation in the form of infrared rays.
