Cliff divers at Acapulco jump into the sea from a cliff 36 meters high. At the level of the sea, there is an outcropping of rock

that sticks out a horizontal distance of 6 meters. With what minimum horizontal velocity must the cliff divers leave the top of the cliff if they are to miss this rocky outcropping?

Answer:

<em>The cliff drivers must leave the top of the cliff at 2.21 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Motion</u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled exclusively by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {2h}{g}}

If the range is known and we are required to find the initial speed of launch, then we can solve the above equation for v as follows:

\displaystyle v=d\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {g}{2h}}

Cliff drivers jump into the sea from a height of h=36 m and must pass over an obstacle d=6 meters away from the cliff.

Let's calculate the speed needed:

\displaystyle v=6~m\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {9.8~m/s^2}{2\cdot 36~m}}

\displaystyle v=6~m\cdot\sqrt{\frac  {9.8~m/s^2}{72~m}}

v=2.21~m/s

The cliff drivers must leave the top of the cliff at 2.21 m/s

Match each action to its result. The strength of the electromagnet increases. The electromagnet turns off. The poles of the elec
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

1) The strength of the electromagnet increases   →   Place a magnetic core inside the coil of wire

2) The electromagnet turns off    →    Turn off the battery supply

3) The poles of the electromagnet reverse     →    Change the direction in which the current flows

Explanation:

when current passes through a coil it behaves a an electromagnet.

Magnetic field strength is given by

B = μ N I  

N is no of turns and

I is the current through coil

μ is permeability of the medium or core in the coil.

1). Magnetic core increase permeability μ so it will strengthen magnetic field:

B = <u>μ</u> N I

2). When the battery turns off current becomes zeroi.e I=0

So B = μ N * 0

⇒ B = 0

so electromagnet turns off

3). Direction of magnetic field can be determine by right hand rule, i.e curl the fingers in the direction of current, thumb will point in the direction of north pole.

so changing current direction will change direction of magnetic field.

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ
liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.

A horizontal force of 140 N is needed to pull a 60kg box across the horizontal floor at constant speed . Find the coefficient of
____ [38]

Explanation:

formula for force is:

force=mass × acceleration

but in case of friction

force =coefficient of friction × Normal Reaction

F. = u × R

U = F/R

but when placed horizontally

R= M×G

M=mass=60kg

G=Gravity(10m/s or 9.8m/s)

F=140N

U=140/60×10

U=140/600

U=0.2333333333

approximately to 3 significant figures

U=0.233

if i am correct rate it 5 star

Eating an orange enables a person to perform about 3.5x10^4 J of work. To what height does eating and orange enable a 55kg woman
crimeas [40]
Joules is a unit for work which may decomposed into N.m. Work is a quantity which is a product of force (in this case, the woman's weight) and the distance she has traveled. 
 
                                    W = F x d      ;    d = W / F

Substituting the given, 
  
                             d = (3.5 x 10^4 J) / (55 kg x 9.8 m/s²) = 64.94 m

Thus, the woman can climb up to 64.94 meters.
