The second stone hits the ground exactly one second after the first.

The distance traveled by each stone down the cliff is calculated using second kinematic equation;

h = v_0_yt + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

where;

  • <em>t is the time of motion </em>
  • <em />v_0_y<em> is the initial vertical velocity of the stone = 0</em>

h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

The time taken by the first stone to hit the ground is calculated as;

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

When compared to the first stone, the time taken by the second stone to hit the ground after 1 second it was released is calculated as

t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } + 1

t_2 = t_1 + 1

Thus, we can conclude that the second stone hits the ground exactly one second after the first.

"<em>Your question is not complete, it seems be missing the following information;"</em>

A. The second stone hits the ground exactly one second after the first.

B. The second stone hits the ground less than one second after the first

C. The second stone hits the ground more than one second after the first.

D. The second stone hits the ground at the same time as the first.

5. How are humans affecting global climate change?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Due to the generation of carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Climate change occurs due to global warming generated by greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide is the gas that does not leave or allow solar radiation from the sun to rise from the Earth's surface, increasing the average temperature of the planet.

Burning fossil fuels for energy generation such as coal is another source of carbon dioxide generation. The generation of energy should be directed towards the production of renewable energies, using sources such as solar and wind energy.

What is the rising of rock layers called
Alex777 [14]

The answer of this question is called uplift i.e the rising of rock layers in geology is called uplift.

Uplift is the process in which there will be vertical elevation of earth surface due to various natural processes occurring inside the surface of earth like earth quakes. Sometimes uplift is also caused by the mountain building which hampers the balance of a particular region.

In the process of uplift,the rocks normally metamorphic rocks present underground will be brought up to the earth surface.The enhanced elevation will cause erosion of lot of materials on the surface of earth.
