Answer:

t = 4.08 s

R = 40.8 m

Explanation:

The question is asking us to solve for the time of flight and the range of the rock.

Let's start by finding the total time it takes for the rock to land on the ground. We can use this constant acceleration kinematic equation to solve for the displacement in the y-direction:

  • Δx = v_0 t + 1/2at²

We have these known variables:

  • (v_0)_y = 0 m/s
  • a_y = -9.8 m/s²
  • Δx_y = -20 m

And we are trying to solve for t (time). Therefore, we can plug these values into the equation and solve for t.

  • -20 = 0t + 1/2(-9.8)t²
  • -20 = 1/2(-9.8)t²
  • -20 = -4.9t²
  • t = 4.08 sec

The time it takes for the rock to reach the ground is 4.08 seconds.

Now we can use this time in order to solve for the displacement in the x-direction. We will be using the same equation, but this time it will be in terms of the x-direction.

List out known variables:

  • v_0 = 10 m/s
  • t = 4.08 s
  • a_x = 0 m/s

We are trying to solve for:

  • Δx_x = ?

By using the same equation, we can plug these known values into it and solve for Δx.

  • Δx = 10 * 4.08 + 1/2(0)(4.08)²
  • Δx = 10 * 4.08
  • Δx = 40.8 m

The rock lands 40.8 m from the base of the cliff.

A lamp is rated for 240v,2.5A.what is the cost of using the lamp for 3hrs if 1kWh of electricity cost #12​
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

≈ 22¢

Explanation:

240 / 1000 = 0.240 kV

0.240 kV(2.5 A)(3 hr) = 1.8 kW•hr

1.8 kW•hr($0.12/kW•hr) = $0.216

A 1250-kg compact car is moving with velocity v1 =36.2i^+12.7j^m/s. It skids on a frictionless icy patch and collides with a 448
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Momentum is conserved, so the sum of the separate momenta of the car and wagon is equal to the momentum of the combined system:

(1250 kg) ((36.2 <em>i</em> + 12.7 <em>j </em>) m/s) + (448 kg) ((13.8 <em>i</em> + 10.2 <em>j</em> ) m/s) = ((1250 + 448) kg) <em>v</em>

where <em>v</em> is the velocity of the system. Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> = ((1250 kg) ((36.2 <em>i</em> + 12.7 <em>j </em>) m/s) + (448 kg) ((13.8 <em>i</em> + 10.2 <em>j</em> ) m/s)) / (1698 kg)

<em>v</em> ≈ (30.3 <em>i</em> + 12.0 <em>j</em> ) m/s
