A person standing at the edge of a seaside cliff kicks a stone, horizontally over the edge with a velocity of 18 m/s. The cliff
1 answer:
<u>Answer:</u>
A) The time taken by the stone to reach the ground will be 3.257 Seconds
B) The Initial vertical velocity will be zero
C) The horizontal velocity doesn’t change, so it remains the same i.e., 18m/s.
D) The total velocity of the stone just before it hits the water is 36.645 m/s.
A)<u>Explanation :</u>
When the stone is kicked, there are two components act on the stone. One is in the horizontal direction, and the other in downward vertical direction.
Also Initial vertical component of velocity will be zero as the stone is kicked horizontally.
So, the time taken will be given by applying Newton’s Equation of Motion
Or, y=
Where y = vertical downward distance
=initial vertical velocity=0 m/s
t = time taken to reach the ground
Substituting the values in the above equation, we find
-52 = 0 +
or, =
or, t = = 3.257 s
B) Explanation
The Initial vertical velocity will be zero as the stone is kicked horizontally
C)Explanation
The horizontal velocity component is not under the influence of gravity, so it remains the same, and moves constant velocity horizontally.
D) Explanation
We will firstly find the final vertical velocity using one of the equations of motion
=
Substituting the values in the above equation, we find
=
=-31.92 m/s
Now, Total Velocity (v) is given by
v =
where,
= Horizontal velocity
= Vertical velocity
Substituting the values in the above equation, we find
v = = 36.645 m/s

Answer:
The fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The time constant
The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as
Where is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged
So at
Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as
In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor
Now since capacitance is constant at
The energy stored can be evaluated at as
Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is

Explanation:
<u>Accelerated Motion </u>
When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by
where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed .
The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of
until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.
The equation for the distance is
Our data is
Let's compute the first distance X1
Now, we find the speed at the end of the first period of time
That is the speed the train is at the moment it starts to brake. We need to compute the time needed to stop the train, that is, to make vf=0
Computing the second distance
The total distance is
