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

Physics

Vladimir79 [104]3 years ago

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 figure shows a 100-kg block being released from rest from a height of 1.0 m. It then takes it 0.90 s to reach the floor. Wha
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The mass of the another block is 60 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block M= 100 kg

Height = 1.0 m

Time = 0.90 s

Let the mass of the other block is m.

We need to calculate the acceleration of each block

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value into the formula

1.0=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times(0.90)^2

a=\dfrac{2\times1.0}{(0.90)^2}

a=2.46\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the mass of the other block

Using newton's second law

The net force of the block M

Ma=Mg-T

T=Mg-Ma....(I)

The net force of the block m

ma=T-mg

Put the value of T from equation (I)

ma=Mg-Ma-mg

m(a+g)=M(g-a)

m=\dfrac{M(g-a)}{(a+g)}

Put the value into the formula

m=\dfrac{100(9.8-2.46)}{2.46+9.8}

m=59.8\ \approx60\ kg

Hence, The mass of the another block is 60 kg.

A person pushes a refrigerator across a horizontal floor. The mass of the refrigerator is 110 kg, the coefficient of static fric
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of refrigerator, m = 110 kg

coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.85

coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.59

(a) the minimum force required to just start the motion in refrigerator

F = μs x mg

F = 0.85 x 110 x 9.8

F = 916.3 N

(b) The force required to move the refrigerator with constant speed

F' = μk x mg

F' = 0.59 x 110 x 9.8

F' = 636.02 N

(c) Let a be the acceleration.

Net force = Applied force - friction force

F net = 950 - 636.02

F net = 313.98 N

a = F net / mass

a = 313.98 / 110

a = 2.85 m/s²

Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high.
Over [174]
All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity. 

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s. 

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".
