A student falls off a cliff into the lake 54.0 m below. What is the final velocity of the student?

Physics

Answer:

v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards

Explanation:

This is a free fall exercise, let's use the expression

         v_{y}^{2} = v_{oy}^{2} + 2 g (y -yo)

where we are assuming that there is friction with the air, as the body falls its initial velocity is zero

         v_{oy} = √ 2g (y - y₀)

let's calculate

         v_{y} = √ (2 9.8 (0-54.0))

         v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards

The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.

The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:

7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42

So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is T =  0.700 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The mass is m =  0.350  \ kg

     The extension of the spring is  x =  12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m

       

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

       F  =  mg  =  0.350 * 9.8

       F  =3.43 \ N

So  

    k  = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}

    k  = 28.583 \ N/m

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

      T =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

substituting values

     T =  2  *  3.142*  \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }

     T =  0.700 \ s

Which force attracts all matter to each other
likoan [24]

Gravity is the force that attracts all matter to each other.

Explanation:

Sir Isaac Newton discovered Gravity when he saw a falling apple while thinking about the forces of nature.

Gravity is a fundamental force that causes objects to have weight. Gravity acts on all matter and is a function of both mass and distance. Each object attracts every other object with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force of attraction is, however, negligible between most objects because of their small size.

Gravitational force is given as:

F = \frac{Gm1m2}{r^{2} }

Where G is gravitational constant and is equal to 6.674×10−11 m³⋅kg⁻¹⋅s⁻²

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects.

r is the distance between the two objects.

The gravity is what makes an apple fall on the ground and gravity is the force that keeps us on the ground.

Keywords: gravity, Newton, Force, weight

Round your answers to one decimal place.this parallel circuit has two resistors at 15 and 40 ohms. what is the total resistance?
lubasha [3.4K]
1) The equivalent resistance of two resistors in parallel is given by:
\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}
so in our problem we have
\frac{1}{R_{eq}} =  \frac{1}{15 \Omega}+ \frac{1}{40 \Omega}=0.092 \Omega^{-1}
and the equivalent resistance is
R_{eq} =  \frac{1}{0.092 \Omega^{-1}}=10.9 \Omega

2) If we have a battery of 12 V connected to the circuit, the current in the circuit will be given by Ohm's law, therefore:
I= \frac{V}{R_{eq}}= \frac{12 V}{10.9 \Omega}=1.1 A
