A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 55 m building and lands 150 m from the base of the building. Ignore air resistan

ce, and use a coordinate system whose origin is at the top of the building, with positive y upwards and positive x in the direction of the throw.

Answer:

a) t =3.349 s

b) V_x,i = 44.8 m/s

c) V_y,f = 32.85 m/s

d)  V = 55.55 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

- Total throw in x direction x(f) = 150 m

- Total distance traveled down y(f) = 55 m

Find:

a) How long is the rock in the air in seconds.  

b) What must have been the initial horizontal component of the velocity, in meters per second?

c) What is the vertical component of the velocity just before the rock hits the ground, in meters per second?

d) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the rock just before it hits the ground, in meters per second?

Solution:

- Use the second equation of motion in y direction:

                                 y(f) = y(0) + V_y,i*t + 0.5*g*t^2

- V_y,i = 0 (horizontal throw)

                                 55 = 0 + 0 + 0.5*(9.81)*t^2

                                 t = sqrt ( 55 * 2 / 9.81 )

                                 t =3.349 s

- Use the second equation of motion in x direction:

                                 x(f) = x(0) + V_x,i*t

                                 150 = 0 + V_x,i*3.349

                                  V_x,i = 150 / 3.349 = 44.8 m/s

- Use the first equation of motion in y direction:

                                 V_y,f = V_y,i + g*t

                                 V_y,f = 0 + 9.81*3.349

                                 V_y,f = 32.85 m/s

- The magnitude of velocity of ball when it hits the ground is:

                                 V^2 = V_y,f^2 + V_x,i^2

                                 V = sqrt (32.85^2 + 44.8^2)

                                 V = 55.55 m/s

I believe the answer to your question is “Lithosphere plate boundaries”

The planet Earth is covered by a layer formed by land and rocks called the earth's crust or lithosphere. This crust is not smooth and uniform, but rather irregular and composed of tectonic plates, also called lithosphere plates. These plates are not fixed as they are under the magma (high temperature molten rock).

Hope this helps!:)
