Given:-

Mass of boulder = 10kg

Final Velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = +10m/s

To Find:-

The kinetic energy of the boulder as it lands

The potential energy of the boulder when it was at the top of the cliff

The height of the cliff

Formulae used:-

Kinetic energy = mv²/2

Potential energy = mgh

Now,

We will first find the Kinetic enrgy,

→ K. E = ½mv²

→ K. E = ½ × 10 × (15)²

→ K. E = 5 × 225

→ K. E =1125J

But we know that when the body starts moving the Potential enrgy of the body starts Converting into Kinetic enrgy. Before reaching to the last spot it has equal kinetic energy and Potential energy.

Therefore,

→ mgh = 1125J

The Potential enrgy of the boulder when it was on top is 1125J

Now,

→ mgh = 1125J

→ 10 × 10 × h = 1125J

→ 100h = 1125J

→ h = 1125/100

→ h = 11.25m

Hence, The Height of the Cliff is 11.25m

Thanks!

comparing the blank of an object with that of a liquid will tell you where or not the objects will float in that liquid
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: Density

Explanation: Recall Archimedes Principle. There are two forces acting an object submerged in a liquid: the force of gravity and the  (opposite directed) force of buoyancy. The buoyancy is proportional to the mass of the liquid displaced by the submerged part of the object.

Density is the ratio of mass to volume. Therefore if the density of the submerged object is higher than that of the displaced liquid, the net force will point in the direction of the gravity (object will sink). In the opposite case, the net force will point in the direction of the buoyant force (upward) and the object will float.

Which type of disease cannot be spread from one person to another
aniked [119]

I believe that would be D.

Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain, or stroke. Which it has nothing to do with being infectious.

What three assumptions about particles in a gas are made by the kinetic theory?
aliya0001 [1]

The simplest kinetic model is based on the assumptions that: (1) the gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving in random directions, separated by distances that are large compared with their size; (2) the molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions (no energy loss) with each other and with the walls of the container, but otherwise do not interact; and (3) the transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat.
