Answer:
The rock's speed after 5 seconds is 98 m/s.
Explanation:
A rock is dropped off a cliff.
It had an initial velocity of 0 m/s. And now it is moving downwards under the influence of gravitational force with the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s².
Speed after 5 seconds = V
We know that acceleration = average speed/time
In our case,
g = ((0+V)/2)/5
9.8*5 = V/2
=> V = 2*9.8*5
V = 98 m/s
Your answer is 632,100J which is Choice D
I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it. But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.
Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is:
(the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .
That's all there is to a 'moment'.
The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).
That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do. The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.
Sound waves travel faster through <em>solids</em> than they do through gases or liquids. <em>(C) </em>They don't travel through vacuum at all.
Example:
Speed of sound in normal air . . . around 340 m/s
Speed of sound in water . . . around 1,480 m/s
Speed of sound in iron . . . around 5,120 m/s
