Answer:

18.82 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) = 39.2 m

Height (h) of the cliff =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the car to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s

Horizontal distance (s) = 39.2 m

Time (t) taken to reach the ground =?

s = ut

39.2 = 20 × t

Divide both side by 20

t = 39.2 / 20

t = 1.96 s

Finally, we shall determine the height of the cliff as follow:

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) taken to reach the ground = 1.96 s

Height (h) of the cliff =?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 1.96²

h = 4.9 × 3.8416

h = 18.82 m

Therefore, the cliff is 18.82 m high

Check all that are true about waterfalls
Lerok [7]
Waterfalls are created when a river flows following a descending rapid slope. The waterfall, then, flows from the source (where it starts) to the mouth (where it ends).
Waterfalls are created when the erosion of the rocks at the bottom of the slope is more powerful than the erosion of the rocks on the top.
After many years the water is able to erode the rocks on the top as well, and the waterfall slowly disappears.

Therefore the options that apply are:
b) waterfalls move towards their mouth;
c) the top or cap rock is resistant to erosion;
<span>f) waterfalls indicate a youthful river </span>

Compare and contrast series and parallel circuits?
dalvyx [7]

In a series circuit, a common current flows through all the components of the circuit. While in a parallel circuit, a different amount of current flows through each parallel branch of the circuit. Whereas in the parallel circuit, the same voltage exists across the multiple components in the circuit.

Hope It Helps!

In your own words, explain the effects of time dilation.
Natalka [10]
So we want to explain the effects of time dilation. In theory of relativity time dilation is the difference of elapsed time between two events when measured by two observers who are moving relatively to each other. A clock of an observer that is standing still in an inertial frame of reference is going to measure a different time of an event than the clock of an observer that is moving with some velocity with respect to the inertial reference frame that is not moving. In a nutshell, the moving clock is ticking slower than the clock that is standing still.

Llana [10]

Answer:

The rod`s charge must be positive,  because the gravity force is pointing downwards and the electrostatic force must be pointing upwards (in order to balance the gravity force)

The charge is q_2 = 1.667 times 10^(-7) C

Explanation:

F_e = F_g

where F_g = m g and F_e= (1/4 pi e_0)*(q_1*q_2)/d^2,
