Answer:
2.72 cycles
Explanation:
First of all, let's find the time that the stone takes to reaches the ground. The stone moves by uniform accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, and it covers a distance of S=44.1 m, so the time taken is
The period of the pendulum instead is given by:
Therefore, the number of oscillations that the pendulum goes through before the stone hits the ground is given by the time the stone takes to hit the ground divided by the period of the pendulum:
Answer:
a) speed when Jack sees the pot : 12.92 meters per second
b) height difference 163.115 meters
Explanation:
First to calculate te initial speed we use the acceleration formula:
a= v1-v0/t
Acceleration being gravity's acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)
v1 being the speed when Jill sees the pot
v0 when Jack sees it
and t the time between
Solving for v0 it would be
v1 - a*t = v0

For the second question we use the position formula setting y0 and t0 as the position and time when jack sees the pot. (and setting the positive axis downward I.E. one meter below jack would be 1m not -1m)
The formula is
replacing
