Answer:
a) It takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of 11 m for the first time on its way up and 2.899 s to reach again that height on its way down.
b) At t = 0.7743 s the velocity is 10.41 m/s and at t = 2.899 s the velocity is -10.41 m/s.
c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down.
Please, see the attached figures and the explanation for a description of the figures.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The equations for the height and velocity of the stone are as follows:
y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²
v = v0 + g · t
Where:
y = height
y0 = initial height
v0 = initial velocity
t = time
g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive)
v = velocity at time t
a) Let´s calculate the time it takes the stone to reach a height of 11 m. The origin of the frame of reference is at the throwing point so that y0 = 0:
y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²
11 m = 18 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²
0 = -4.9 m/s² · t² + 18 m/s · t - 11 m
Solving the quadratic equation:
t = 0.7743 s and t = 2.899 s
(Notice that I have used more significant figures to avoid error by rounding)
The stone will be two times at a height of 11 m, one on its way up (at 0.7743 s) and one on its way down (at 2.899 s). Then, it takes the stone 0.7743 s to reach a height of 11 m for the first time.
b) Let´s use the equation of velocity:
v = v0 + g · t
at t = 0.77443 s
v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.77443 s
v = 10.41 m/s
at t = 2.899 s
v = 18 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 2.899 s
v = - 10.41 m/s
(Both velocities have to be of the same magnitude but of different sign, that´s why I haven´t rounded the time.)
c) There are two answers because the stone reaches the height of 11 m one time on its way up and one more time again on its way down. On its way up, the velocity is 10.41 m/s and on its way down it is -10.41 m/s.
Figures
The functions to plot are the following:
height in function of time (figure 1, x-axis: time. y-axis: height)
y = -4.9t² + 18t
velocity in function of time (figure 2, x-axis: time. y-axis velocity)
v = -9.8t + 18
Acceleration in function of time (figure 3, x-axis: time. y-axis: acceleration)
a = -9.8
Answer:
a) 0.658 seconds
b) 0.96 inches
Explanation:
Time taken by the ball to reach the highest point is 0.14 seconds
The highest point reached by the snowball above its release point is 0.315 ft
Total height the snowball will fall is 4+0.315 = 4.315 ft
The snowball will reach the bank at 0.14+0.518 = 0.658 seconds after it has been thrown
The snowball goes 0.5-0.42 = 0.08 ft = 0.96 inches
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of Pythagoras to find the net path. An easy way is to graph the path to trace the path, which resembles that of a right triangle. The information provided is equivalent to that of the two short sides of the triangle, so we will find the longest side by the Pythagorean theorem. In this way,
Therefore the magnitude of the hummingbird’s total displacement is 3.12m
