A rock (m= 2kg) is shot up vertically at the same time that a ball (m= 0.5kg) is projected horizontally. If both start from the

same height: A. the rock and ball will reach the ground at the same time.
B. the rock will reach the ground first.
C. the ball will reach the ground first.
D. the rock and ball will collide in the air before reaching the ground.
Can you explain why the answer is C?

Answer:

The correct option is C. the ball will reach the ground first.

Explanation:

The ball will reach the ground first since the mass of each object does not affect the rate of fall, both are subject to the same gravitational acceleration 9.81 m / s2. The rock in its vertical movement invests a time that the ball is not released horizontally, so that time of vertical flight of the rock plus the extra height it will have will reach the ground after the rock. Regardless of the friction of the air, it will be different in both objects.

A man is throwing a spear from the top of a cliff, 5 metres from ground, at a 20° angle towards a fish that is 35 metres away. a
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Horizontal component of the initial velocity=v ×cos20°

horizontal displacement= 35m

time taken. (t)=35÷(v×cos20°)

vertical component of the initial velocity= v×sin20°

vertical displacement= -5m(since it is opposite to the direction of the initial velocity. )

application of s=ut+1/2at×t. vertically,

-5=vsin20°×t -1/2 gt×t

-5= vsin20×35/vcos20-1/2×10×35×35/(vcos20×vcos20)

simplify further to obtain v and hence find the time taken

The Pacific Ocean has a durface area of about 116,214,700 km^2 and an average depth of 3940m. Estimate the volume of the Pacific
Anastaziya [24]

The volume is given by:

V = Ad

V = volume, A = surface area, d = depth

Given values:

A = 116214700km² = 1.162147×10¹⁸cm², d = 3940m = 394000cm

Plug in and solve for V:

V = 1.162147×10¹⁸(394000)

V = 4.57885918×10²³cm³

What happens when several parallel rays strike a plane mirror
storchak [24]

Answer:

Rays will bounce back and stay parallel.

Explanation:

The plane mirror reflects light according to the laws of reflection.

From that you know when a light ray reflects its incident angle is equal to the reflected angle. From that we know when a set of parallel rays get reflected by the mirror, the reflected rays will make the same angle with the mirror.

So rays will stay parallel to each other.
