A rock is thrown horizontally at a speed of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff 64.7 m high. The rock hits the ground 18.0 m from th

e base of the cliff. How would this distance change if the rock was thrown at 10.0 m/s?

Answer:

If the rock was thrown at 10.0 m/s, the rock would land twice as far from the cliff as it did previously.

Refer to the diagram shown.

Assume g = 9.8 m/s² and ignore air resistance
When the rock is launched from a height of 64.7 m,
u = 5.0 m/s, the horizontal velocity
v = 0,  the initial vertical velocity

If the rock hits the ground 18.0 m  from the base of the cliff, then the time of flight is
t = (18.0 m)/(5.0 m/s) = 3.6 s
The vertical distance traveled is
s = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(3.6 s)² = 63.504 m

Because this distance is less than 64.7 m, ground level is slightly higher away from the base of the cliff. It is higher by
64.7 - 63.504 =  1.196 m

If the rock is thrown at 10 m/s, the time of flight remains the same because acceleration due to gravity is the same.
Therefore the horizontal distance traveled is
(10.0 m/s)*(3.6 s) = 36.0 m

Answer: The distance will be 36.0 m

For which of the following problems would a scientist most likely use carbon-14?
spayn [35]

Answer:

To calculate the age of a piece of bone

Explanation:

Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon that is unstable and decays into Nitrogen 14 by emitting an electron. The decay rate of radioactive material is  normally expressed in terms of its "half-life" (the time required by half the radioactive nuclei of a sample to undergo radioactive decay). The nice thing about carbon 14 is that its "half-life" is about 5730 years, which gives a nice reference to measure the age of fossils that are some thousand years old.

Carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of objects that have been living organisms long ago. They measure how much carbon 14 is left in the object after years of decaying without having exchange with the ambient via respiration, ingestion, absorption, etc. and therefore having renewed the normal amount of carbon 14 that is in the ambient.

A rock is not a living organism, so its age cannot be determined by carbon 14 dating.

A 50-g cube of ice, initially at 0.0°C, is dropped into 200 g of water in an 80-g aluminum container, both initially at 30°C.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

b. 9.5°C

Explanation:

m_i = Mass of ice = 50 g

T_i = Initial temperature of water and Aluminum = 30°C

L_f = Latent heat of fusion = 3.33\times 10^5\ J/kg^{\circ}C

m_w = Mass of water = 200 g

c_w = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg⋅°C

m_{Al} = Mass of Aluminum = 80 g

c_{Al} = Specific heat of Aluminum = 900 J/kg⋅°C

The equation of the system's heat exchange is given by

m_i(L_f+c_wT)+m_wc_w(T-T_i)+m_{Al}c_{Al}=0\\\Rightarrow 0.05\times (3.33\times 10^5+4186\times T)+0.2\times 4186(T-30)+0.08\times 900(T-30)=0\\\Rightarrow 1118.5T-10626=0\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{10626}{1118.5}\\\Rightarrow T=9.50022\ ^{\circ}C

The final equilibrium temperature is 9.50022°C

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

\frac{kQ}{r^2} r^

Explanation:

Electric field strength= Force/unit charge

E= (kQq/r²)/q ₓ r

where r is the unit vector in the direction of unit charge

E= \frac{kQ}{r^2} r^
