Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s

ame location as Rock X. Both rocks fall for several seconds before landing on the ground directly below the cliff. Frictional forces are considered to be negligible. After Rock Y is released from rest several seconds after Rock X is released from rest, what happens to the separation distance S between the rocks as they fall but before they reach the ground, and why? Take the positive direction to be downward.

Answer:

Separation increases at all times that rock X falls because it falls with a greater speed

Explanation:

For both rocks, let initial velocity ∪=0

To find the displacement at any given time interval of Δt then

S= ∪Δt +0.5gΔt²

Since rock X is first released followed by Y, then X has a greater speed than Y therefore the distance covered by X is longer. This is because despite 0.5gΔt² being same for both rocks at any time Δt but rock X having already attained some velocity, its ∪Δt  is more hence the separation S increases. Conclusively, S increases at all times that rock X falls since rock X falls with a greater velocity than rock Y

Answer:

just-noticeable difference

Explanation:

Using principles of psychology and physics, a branch of experimental psychology called psychophysics has been created. This field is focused on the sensation, the sense and the perception of stimuli. Within this branch it has been called just-noticeable difference to the amount that must be changed of some stimulus so that this difference is noticeable, that is to say, the threshold at which the change is perceived.

If you wished to warm 100 kg of water by 15 degrees celsius for your bath, how much heat would be required? (give your answer in
Anit [1.1K]
For the answer to the question above, 
<span>Q = amount of heat (kJ) </span>
<span>cp = specific heat capacity (kJ/kg.K) = 4.187 kJ/kgK </span>
<span>m = mass (kg) </span>
<span>dT = temperature difference between hot and cold side (K). Note: dt in °C = dt in Kelvin </span>

<span>Q = 100kg * (4.187 kJ/kgK) * 15 K </span>
<span>Q = 6,280.5 KJ = 6,280,500 J = 1,501,075.5 cal</span>

A sailboat starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.21 m/s^2 over a distance of 280 m. find the magnitude of the boat's f
sasho [114]

We use the kinematic equations,

v=u+at                                          (A)

S= ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2                  (B)

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Given,  u=0, a=0.21 \ m/s^2 and s= 280 m.

Substituting these values in equation (B), we get

280 \ m = 0 +\frac{1}{2} (0.21 m/s^2) t^2 \\\\ t^2 = \frac{280 \times 2}{0.21 } \\\\ t= 51.63 \ s.

Therefore from equation (A),

v = 0 + (0.21) \times (51.63 s)= 10.84 \ m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and the time taken by boat to travel the distance 280 m is 51.63 s
