<em>The correct answer is option</em><em> B.</em> The maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m.

<h3>Maximum height attained by the stone </h3>

The maximum height attained by the stone when it is a 2/3 of its total height is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2gh

where;

v is final velocity at maximum height, v = 0
u is initial velocity
g is acceleration due to gravity

0 = u² - 2gh

2gh = u²

h = u²/2g

h = (15²)/(2 x 9.8)

h = 11.48 m

h = 11.5 m

Thus, the maximum height that can be reached by the stone is determined as 11.5 m

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

$a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2$

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

$a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2$

Explanation:

By momentum conservation along x direction we will have

$mv_i = \frac{m}{2}v_1 + \frac{m}{2}v_2$

so we have

$v_1 + v_2 = 2v$

$v_1 + v_2 = 4.68$

also by energy conservation

$\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m}{2})v_2^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17 J$

$\frac{1}{4}m(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = 17$

$(v_1^2 + v_2^2) - 2v^2 = \frac{4}{7.7}(17)$

$(4.68 - v_2)^2 + v_2^2 - 2v^2 = 8.83$

$21.9 + 2v_2^2 - 9.36 v_2 - 10.95 = 8.83$

$2v_2^2 - 9.36v_2 + 2.12 = 0$

by solving above equation we will have

$v_1 = 4.44 m/s$

$v_2 = 0.24 m/s$

Average acceleration on first part of the chunk is given as

$a_1 = \frac{4.44 - 2.34}{0.16}$

$a_1 = 13.125 m/s^2$

Average acceleration on second part of the chunk is given as

$a_2 = \frac{0.24 - 2.34}{0.16}$

$a_2 = -13.125 m/s^2$

A 70 kg hunter, standing on frictionless ice, shoots a 42 g bullet horizontally at a speed of 590 m/s . Part A Part complete Wha

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hunter = 70 kg

Mass of bullet = 42 g = 0.042 kg

Speed of bullet = 590 m/s

We need to calculate the recoil speed of hunter

Using conservation of momentum

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

Where, $m_{1}$ = mass of hunter

$m_{2}$ = mass of bullet

u = initial velocity

v = recoil velocity

Put the value in the equation

$0+0=70\times v_{1}+0.042\times590$

$v_{1}=-\dfrac{0.042\times590}{70}$

$v=-0.354\ m/s$

Hence, The recoil velocity is 0.354 m/s.

Vinvika [58]

The Nebular Hypothesis is the most accepted explanation of the origin of our solar system. It states that the Sun was formed by a massive cloud of dust and gas light-years across, and it was bigger than the actual sun itself. Most of the mass in the center formed the sun, and the rest expanded outward.
