Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 25.0 m above water with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s strikes the water with a final speed of what, independent of the direction thrown.

Complete question is;

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 25.0 m above water with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s strikes the water with a final speed of 31.1 m/s, independent of the direction thrown

It is proved that the final speed is truly 31.1 m/s

Explanation:

From energy - conservation principle;

E_i = Initial potential energy + Initial Kinetic Energy

Or

E_i = U_i + K_i

Similarly, for final energy

E_f = U_f + K_f

So, expressing the formulas for potential and kinetic energies, we now have;

E_i = (m × g × y_i) + (½ × m × v_i²)

Similarly,

E_f = (m × g × y_f) + (½ × m × v_f²)

We are given;

y_i = 25 m

y_f = 0 m

v_i = 20 m/s

v_f = 31.1 m/s

So, plugging in relevant values;

E_i = m((9.8 × 25) + (½ × 20²))

E_i = 485m

Similarly;

E_f = m((9.8 × 0) + (½ × v_f²)

E_f ≈ ½m•v_f²

From energy conservation principle, E_i = E_f.

Thus;

485m = ½m•v_f²

m will cancel out to give;

½v_f² = 485

v_f² = 485 × 2

v_f² = 970

v_f = √970

v_f ≈ 31.1 m/s

when cloud cover increases then the suns ray's which provides the earth with light and warmth gets covered due to the due to the suns ray's being blocked, the temperature in that region

therefore to conclude i would like to say that,

=more the cloud cover, the lesser the

happy to

pls mark as brainliest.

speed

ratio of distance traveled to time interval

net force

vector sum of forces on object

source of diverging light rays either luminous or illuminated
