The vertical motion of a dropped object from height is a motion that is caused by gravity alone

The height of the cliff and the speed of the bullet are:

1. The height of the cliff is <u>19.6 meters</u>

2. The speed of the bullet when it left the gun is approximately <u>2,245 m/s</u>

<u />

The reason the above values are the correct values are given as follows:

The given velocity of the gazelle, vₓ = 14 m/s

Location where buzzards are seen, d = 28 m from the base of the cliff

The height of the cliff = Required

Solution:

The gazelle fell off the cliff

The horizontal distance the gazelle covered during free fall, d = 28 meters

The time it takes the gazelle to travel the horizontal distance, t = The time of free fall, and is given as follows;

t = \dfrac{Horizontal \ distance}{Horizontal \ velocity} = \dfrac{d}{v_x}

Therefore;

t = \dfrac{28 \ m}{14 \ m/s} = 2 \ s

Vertical distance covered in the time falling freely = Height of the cliff, h

The formula for (vertical) distance, h = u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

Where;

u = The initial vertical velocity = 0

t = 2 seconds from above

g = Constant for the acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

Therefore;

h = 0 × 2 + (1/2) × 9.8 m/s² × (2 s)² ≈ 19.6 m

The height of the cliff, <em>h </em>= <u>19.6 m</u>

2. The known parameters:

The direction the bullet was shot = Horizontally

Height from which the bullet was shot, h = 1.4 meters above the ground

The horizontal distance the bullet travels before landing, d = 1.2 km

Required:

The speed with which the bullet left the gun, assuming no air resistance

Solution:

The vertical motion of the bullet is due to gravity and the initial vertical velocity, u = 0

Therefore;

h = u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

1.4 = (1/2) × 9.8 × t²

t² = 1.4/((1/2) × 9.8) = 2/7

t = √(2/7)

Velocity = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}

The\ speed \ of \ the \ bullet, v = \dfrac{1,200 \ m}{\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{7} } s} \approx 2,245 \ m/s

The speed of the bullet when it left the gun, v ≈ <u>2,245 m/s</u>

<u />

Define what is energy and work​
Mashutka [201]

The work-energy principle states that an increase in the kinetic energy of a rigid body is caused by an equal amount of positive work done on the body by the resultant force acting on that body. Conversely, a decrease in kinetic energy is caused by an equal amount of negative work done by the resultant force.

Oceanic water particles mainly move in circles; is this movement greater on the ocean's surface or below the surface? Explain yo
goblinko [34]
I think that the oceanic water particles mainly move in circles greater in the oceans surface because of how big the waves can be and how wind and air impact the motion. The water particles move more on the surface because of the other factors that impact it such as people, wind, air, etc...

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

This is because the force of gravity is much less on the moon than on the earth, therefore the person wont be pulled down much and will jump higher

How many atoms are in a sample of 2.39 moles of neon (Ne) atoms?
Reil [10]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

 </span>2.39 moles Ne ( 6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mole ) = 1.44 × 10^24 atoms Ne
