To determine the height of a steep cliff an experimenter stations a sensor on the top of the cliff then fires a pellet vertically upward with an initial velocity of 80 m/s . the sensor reports that the pellet reached a maximum height 3 meters above the edge of the cliff. how high is the cliff? a. 77 m
b. 237 m
c. 317 m
d. 637 m
e. 797 m

c. 317 m

Explanation:

Vertical Launch Upwards

It occurs when an object is launched vertically up without taking into consideration any kind of friction with the air.

If vo is the initial speed and g is the acceleration of gravity, the maximum height reached by the object is given by:

We'll assume the acceleration of gravity as .The pellet is vertically upward launched with vo=80 m/s. The maximum height is:

That height is 3 meters above the edge of the cliff, thus the cliff is 320-3=317 m hight

c. 317 m

explanation: magnetic pole, region at each end of a magnet where the external magnetic field is strongest. the south-seeking pole, or any pole similar to it, is called a south magnetic pole. unlike poles of different magnets attract each other; like poles repel each other.

it is called kinetic energy
