Answer:

None, both objects will hit ground at the same time.

Explanation:

Assuming no air resistance present, and that both objects start from rest, we can apply the following kinematic equation for the vertical displacement:

$\Delta h = \frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2} (1)$

As the left side in (1) is the same for both objects, the right side will be the same also.
Since g is constant close to the surface of the Earth, it's also the same for both objects.
So, the time t must be the same for both objects also.

Three heavy rods are all made of the same uniform material. These rods have lengths 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m, and compose the sides of

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Explanation:

Given:-

- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:

a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m

a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse

- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With

Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.

Solution:-

- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.

- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).

Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

bx−ay=0

Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:

bx+2ay=ab

Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:

2bx+ay=ab

Solve all three equations simultaneously:

bx−ay=0 , bx = ay

ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3

bx = b/3

x = a / 3

So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.

- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:

[ 2a/3 , b/3 ]

[ 2.67 , 1 ] m

Material speed of light

Cloud [144]

The question is poor. Light doesn't refract on its way THROUGH anything. It refracts at the boundary BETWEEN two different media. The effect is greatest where the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media is greatest. On your list, that would be at the boundary between air or space and glass.

a projectile is shot horizontally from the edge of a cliff, 230m above the ground. the projectile lands 300m from base of the cl

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Vertical height of cliff = 230 m

Distance = 300 m

Suppose, determine the time taken by the projectile to hit the ground.

We need to calculate the time

Using second equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where, s = vertical height of cliff

u = initial vertical velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

$230=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2$

$t=\sqrt{\dfrac{230\times2}{9.8}}$

$t=6.85 sec$

Hence, The time taken by the projectile to hit the ground is 6.85 sec.
