Chapter 1: Q78P (page 64)

A physics teacher performing an outdoor demonstration suddenly falls from rest off a high cliff and simultaneously shouts 鈥淗elp.鈥� When she has fallen for 3.0 s, she hears the echo of her shout from the valley floor below. The speed of sound is 340 m/s. (a) how tall is the cliff? (b) If we ignore air resistance, how fast will she be moving just before she hits the ground?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Height of the cliff is 532 m.

b) Speed is 14.7 m/s .

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Fallen time (t) = 3.0 s

Speed (v) = 340 m/s

02

Calculation for the height

As we know that

d=vtd=340脳3d=1020m

Now in the same time teacher will fall down that distance,

d1=12gt2d1=12脳9.81脳9d1=44.1m

Now total distance travelled by teacher and sound

dt=d1+ddt=1020+44.1dt=1061.1m

This distance will be equal to twice of the height of cliff

2H=1064.1h=532m

03

Calculation for the speed

d1=vt44.1=v脳3v=14.7m/s

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun but have a much smaller diameter. If you weigh 675Non the earth, what would you weigh at the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20km?

A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of20m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of3.40m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved60.0m. (a) How much time does it take the car to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the car behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Takex=0at the initial location of the truck.

In Wagner鈥檚 opera Das Rheingold,the goddess Freia is ransomed for a pile of gold just tall enough and wide enough to hide her from sight. Estimate the monetary value of this pile. The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and take its value to be about $10 per gram.
