A ball is dropped from a cliff and falls a distance of 20 m to the ground. Determine the velocity it hits the ground at and the

time for the ball to fall.
A.v = -10 m/s, t = 2 s
B.v = 20 m/s, t = 4 s
C.v = -20 m/s, t = 2 s
D.v = 10 m/s, t = 2 s

Use the kinematic equation: d = vi • t + ½ • a • t^<span>2
</span><span>20=0(t)+(0.5)(9.8)(t^2)
</span>20=4.9(t^2)
t=2.02seconds
---------------------------------
Final Velocity=Initial Velocity +at^2
Vf=(9.8)(2.02^2)
Vf=19.796

<h2>Answer: 117.626m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The escape velocity $V_{esc}$ is given by the following equation:

$V_{esc}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ is the Gravitational Constant and its value is $6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$

$M$ is the mass of the asteroid

$R$ is the radius of the asteroid

On the other hand, we know the density of the asteroid is $\rho=3.84(10)^{8}g/m^{3}$ and its volume is $V=2.17(10)^{12}m^{3}$ .

The density of a body is given by:

$\rho=\frac{M}{V}$ (2)

Finding $M$ :

$M=\rhoV=(3.84(10)^{8} g/m^{3})(2.17(10)^{12}m^{3})$ (3)

$M=8.33(10)^{20}g=8.33(10)^{17}kg$ (4) This is the mass of the spherical asteroid

In addition, we know the volume of a sphere is given by the following formula:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\piR^{3}$ (5)

Finding $R$ :

$R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi}}$ (6)

$R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3(2.17(10)^{12}m^{3})}{4\pi}}$ (7)

$R=8031.38m$ (8) This is the radius of the asteroid

Now we have all the necessary elements to calculate the escape velocity from (1):

$V_{esc}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(8.33(10)^{17}kg)}{8031.38m}}$ (9)

Finally:

$V_{esc}=117.626m/s$ This is the minimum initial speed the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never return back to the asteroid.

How is earth outer layer different from a cracked hard-boiled egg?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The Earth holds livings things and even the layer has more complex layers in it (Also it's not white) And of course there are no oceans.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: a) The Answer to the question is option a) None of it.

Explanation:

The reason is because according to the law of conservation of energy Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other. Therefore none of the kinetic energy was dissipated, rather it was transformed to another form of energy.

The table shows information about four students who are running around a track. Which statement is supported by the information

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

<em>Correct option: Mohammed has less kinetic energy than Autumn.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy</u>

Is the energy an object has due to its motion. If the object has a mass m and travels at a speed v, then the kinetic energy K is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The information about four students includes their mass and velocity as follows:

Autumn has a mass of m1=50 kg and a velocity (magnitude) of v1=4 m/s, thus their kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K_1=\frac{1}{2}50\cdot 4^2$

$K_1=400\ J$

Mohammed has a mass of m2=57 kg and a velocity (magnitude) of v2=3 m/s, thus their kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K_2=\frac{1}{2}57\cdot 3^2$

$K_2=256.5\ J$

Lexy has a mass of m3=53 kg and a velocity (magnitude) of v3=2 m/s, thus their kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K_3=\frac{1}{2}53\cdot 2^2$

$K_3=106\ J$

Chiang has a mass of m4=64 kg and a velocity (magnitude) of v4=5 m/s, thus their kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K_4=\frac{1}{2}64\cdot 5^2$

$K_4=800\ J$

Sorted from lower kinetic energy to higher:

Lexy, Mohammed, Autumn, Chiang. Thus:

Autumn has more kinetic energy than Chiang. False

Mohammed has less kinetic energy than Autumn. True

Lexy has more kinetic energy than Mohammed. False

Chiang has less kinetic energy than Lexy. False

Correct option: Mohammed has less kinetic energy than Autumn.
