(a) Calculate the height of a cliff if it takes 2.45 s for a rock to hit the ground when thrown straight up from the cliff with

an initial velocity of 8.75 m/s.
(b) How long would it take to reach the ground if it is thrown straight down with the same speed?

An object in free fall motion is under the influence of gravitational force only

The height and time are;

(a) The height of the cliff, h ≈ <u>8.00 meters</u>

(b) The time it takes the rock to rich the ground with the same speed going  downward is approximately <u>0.67</u><u> seconds</u>

The reason the above values are correct are as follows:

The given parameters are;

The time it takes for the rock to hit the ground when thrown straight up from the cliff, t = 2.45 s

The initial velocity with which the rock is thrown, u = 8.75 m/s

(a) To find the height of the cliff

Solution

The kinematic equation of motion is s = y₀ + u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

The time it takes to maximum height, t_{max} = 8.75/9.81

The time it takes to get back to the cliff edge when thrown = 2 × 8.75/9.81

The time taken to fall at the velocity of <em>u</em> downwards from the cliff edge, t_{cliff}, is given as follows;

t_{cliff} = 2.45 - 2 × 8.75/9.81 ≈ 0.666

Height of cliff, h = 8.75×(2.45 - 2 × 8.75/9.81) + (1/2) × 9.81 × (2.45 - 2 × 8.75/9.81)² ≈ 8

The height of the cliff, h ≈ <u>8.00 meters</u>

(b) The time it takes the rock to rich the ground when thrown straight down art the same speed, (calculates above) = t_{cliff} ≈ <u>0.67 seconds</u>

If 2.0 x 10^-4 C charge passes a point in 5.0 x 10^-5 s, what is the rate of current flow?
vampirchik [111]
Current is defined as the rate of charge flowing a point every second. Having a current of 1 Ampere signifies 1 Coulomb is flowing in a circuit every second. It is measured by the use of an ammeter which is positioned in series to the component to be measured. The current in the problem is calculated as follows:

I = 2.0 x 10^-4 C / 5.0 x 10^-5 s

"An object weighing 10.01 grams is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 3.90 mL of water. If the total volume of the object
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Density of the object = 1.9399g/mL

Explanation:

Mass of object = 10.01g

Volume of water = 3.90mL

Volume of Object + Water = 9.06mL

Therefore, volume of Object = Volume of Object + Water - Volume of Water

= 9.06mL - 3.90mL

= 5.16mL

Density by definition is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

Density of the object = mass/volume

= 10.01/5.16

= 1.9399g/mL or 1.94kg/m3
