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

How does temperature influence the appearance of a star? Give an example in your response.
loris [4]

The cooler the temp of the star the star would appear to glisten a red. if the star is warmer the star would be a light blue or blue. An example would be the tiny red dwarf stars. they only have 7% of the suns heat so they appear red.

What is the frequency of a photon of emr with a wavelength of 2.55x10-3m?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

f = 1.18 x 10¹¹ Hz

Explanation:

The equation used to find frequency is:

f = c / w

In this form, "f" represents the frequency (Hz), "c" represents the speed of light (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s), and "w" represents the wavelength (m).

Since you have been given the value of the constant (c) and wavelength, you can substitute these values into the equation to find frequency.

f = c / w                                                      <---- Formula

f = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / w                                 <---- Plug 3.0 x 10⁸ in "c"

f = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (2.55 x 10⁻³ m)            <---- Plug 2.55 x 10⁻³ in "w"

f = 1.18 x 10¹¹ Hz                                         <---- Divide
