You are climbing in the high sierra when you suddenly find yourself at the edge of a fog-shrouded cliff. to find the height of this cliff, you drop a rock from the top; 10.0 s later you hear the sound of the rock hitting the ground at the foot of the cliff.

The total time it takes the sound to reach our on top of the cliff (10.0 s) is actually sum of two times:
- the time it takes the rock to hit the ground starting from the top of the cliff, t1
- the time it takes the sound to reach the top of the cliff starting from the ground, t2
1) The rock moves by uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2

. Its law of motion is given by $y(t)=h-v_0t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ , where v_0=0

is the initial velocity of the rock, and h is the height of the cliff. The time t1 is the time at which the rock reaches the ground, so that y(t1)=0, and the equation becomes
$0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2$
2) The sound moves from the ground to the top of the cliff by uniform motion, with constant speed v=343 m/s. Therefore, the sound covers the distance h (the height of the cliff) in a time t2 given by
h=vt_2

3) If we rewrite h in both equations, we can write:
$=\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2=vt_2$ (1)
4) We also know that the sum of t1 and t2 is equal to 10 seconds:
t_1+t_2=10

from which we find
t_2=10-t_1

if we substitute this into eq.(1), we get
$\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2+vt_1-10v=0$
Numerically:
4.9t_1^2 + 343 t_1 - 3430=0

Solving the equation, we find the solution t_1=8.87 s

(the other solution is negative, so it does not have physical meaning). As a consequence,
t_2 = 10-t_1 = 1.13 s

and the height of the cliff is given by
h=vt_2=(343 m/s)(1.13 s)=388 m

Answer from: jadawada223

height of the cliff would be

H = 385.25 m

Explanation:

here when we drop the stone from the cliff then first stone will hit the rock and then the sound of hitting the rock will come to us.

So here this total time is given as t = 10 s

now we know here that time to fall the stone is given by kinematics

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$

now the time to travel the sound from bottom to us is given as

$t' = \frac{H}{340}$

here we assume that speed of sound is 340 m/s

now we have

t + t' = 10 s

$\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}} + \frac{H}{340} = 10$

by solving above equation we have

H = 385.25 m

Answer from: Quest

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
