Under the assumption that the three rocks are dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same speed. The gravity of Earth is virtually the same for any object that is small compared to the size of the Earth. The acceleration will change with the distance from the Earth, but this change is so small for the range of heights we work with (consider the range of heights from sea level to the tip of Mount Everest) that we can take the average value and assume it to be constant. This constant value of acceleration due to Earth's gravity is 9.80665m/s²
Because the objects fall under the same constant acceleration, they will hit the ground at the same speed.
Answer:
The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m
Explanation:
Given
The initial height of the cliff
yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff
y = yo + ut -1/2gt²
u = 20.0m/s initial speed
g = 9.80m/s²
0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²
0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²
Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,
t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s
So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.
The distance traveled by the woman is
s = vt
Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s
Therefore
s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m
Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.
The mirror formula for curved mirrors is:
where
f is the focal length of the mirror
is the distance of the object from the mirror
is the distance of the image from the mirror
The sign convention that should be used in order to find the correct values is the following:
-
: positive if the mirror is concave, negative if the mirror is convex
-
: positive if the image is real (located on the same side of the object), negative if it is virtual (located on the opposite side of the mirror)
