At the same moment, one rock is dropped and one is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 29m/s from the top of a building

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock strike 2.42 seconds earlier.

Explanation:

This is an uniformly accelerated motion problem, so in order to find the arrival time we will use the following formula:

$x=vo*t+\frac{1}{2} a*t^2\\where\\x=distance\\vo=initial velocity\\a=acceleration$

So now we have an equation and unkown value.

for the thrown rock

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+29*t-300=0$

for the dropped rock

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+0*t-300=0$

solving both equation with the quadratic formula:

$\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2*a}$

we have:

the thrown rock arrives on t=5.4 sec

the dropped rock arrives on t=7.82 sec

so the thrown rock arrives 2.42 seconds earlier (7.82-5.4=2.42)

A player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory

____ [38]

At the highest point in its trajectory, the ball's acceleration is zero but its velocity is not zero.

<h3>What's the velocity of the ball at the highest point of the trajectory?</h3>

At the highest point, the ball doesn't go more high. So its vertical velocity is zero.
However, the ball moves horizontal, so its horizontal component of velocity is non - zero i.e. u×cosθ.
u= initial velocity, θ= angle of projection

<h3>What's the acceleration of the ball at the highest point of projectile?</h3>

During the whole projectile motion, the earth exerts the gravitational force with a acceleration of gravity along vertical direction.
But as there's no acceleration along vertical direction, so the acceleration along vertical direction is zero.

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration is zero and velocity is non-zero at the highest point projectile motion.

Disclaimer: The question was given incomplete on the portal. Here is the complete question.

Question: Player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory

A- neither the ball's velocity nor its acceleration are zero.

B- the ball's acceleration points upward.

C- the ball's acceleration is zero but its velocity is not zero.

D- the ball's velocity points downward.

The tops of the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge in San franciscoo , are 227 m above the water. Suppose a worker drops a 655 g w

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is 1425.11 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the wrench is, $m=655\ g=0.655\ kg$

Height of fall is, $h=227\ m$

Force of resistance is, $F=0.141\ N$

Now, the total energy at the top is equal to the potential energy of the wrench at the top since the kinetic energy at the top is 0.

Now, potential energy at the top is given as:

$U=mgh\\U=0.655\times 9.8\times 227\\U=1457.113\ J$

Now, the potential energy at the top is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom and some energy is wasted in overcoming the resistance force by air.

Potential Energy = Kinetic energy + Energy to overcome resistance.

⇒ Kinetic energy = Potential Energy - Energy to overcome resistance.

Energy to overcome resistance force is the work done by the wrench against the resistance force and is given as:

$W_{res}=Fh=0.141\times 227=32.007\ J$

Therefore, Kinetic energy at the bottom is given as:

$K=U-W_{res}\\\\K=1457.113\ J - 32.007\ J\\\\K=1425.106\approx1425.11\ J$

Hence, the kinetic energy of the wrench be when it hits the water is 1425.11 J.
