(a) 23.1 m

The vertical velocity of the rock at time t is given by:

v_y(t) = v_{y0} + gt (1)

where

v_{y0} = v_0 sin \theta = (33.0 m/s)(sin 25.3^{\circ})=14.1 m/s is the initial vertical velocity of the rock

g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity (negative because it is downward)

t is the time

At the point of maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero:

v_y(t)=0

Using this information in eq.(1), we find the time it takes for the rock to reach the maximum height:

v_{y0} + gt=0\\t=-\frac{v_{y0}}{g}=-\frac{14.1 m/s}{-9.8 m/s^2}=1.44 s

And now we can calculate the vertical position of the rock after t=1.44 s by using the equation:

y(t)=y_0 + v_{0y}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2=13.0 m+(14.1 m/s)(1.44 s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8 m/s^2)(1.44 s)^2=23.1 m

(2) 36.7 m/s

For this part, we have to calculate the time t at which the rock reaches the ground, which means y(t)=0. So:

y(t)=0=y_0 + v_{y0}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\0=13.0 + 14.1t - 4.9t^2

which has two solutions:

t = -0.73 s --> negative, we discard it

t = 3.61 s --> this is our solution

So now we can calculate the vertical velocity of the rock when it reaches the ground:

v_y(t)=v_{y0} + gt = 14.1 m/s+(-9.8 m/s^2)(3.61 s)=-21.4 m/s

The horizontal velocity has not changed, since the motion along the horizontal direction is uniform, so it is

v_x(t)=v_{x0}=(33.0 m/s)(cos 25.3^{\circ})=29.8 m/s

So, the magnitude of the velocity when the rock hits the ground is

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}=\sqrt{(-21.4 m/s)^2+(29.8 m/s)^2}=36.7 m/s

(3) 107.6 m

The horizontal distance travelled by the rock is given by:

d=v_x t

where

v_x = 29.8 m/s is the horizontal velocity, which is constant

t=3.61 s is the time it takes for the rock to reach the ground

Substituting, we find

d=(29.8 m/s)(3.61 s)=107.6 m

Over a short interval the coordinate of a car in the meters isgiven by x(t) = 27t - 4.0 t3 where time t is in seconds,at the end
wariber [46]

Answer:

5. -24 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity.

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

mathematically,

a = dv/dt ............................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, dv/dt = is the differentiation of velocity with respect to time.

But

v = dx(t)/dt

Where,

x(t) = 27t-4.0t³...................... Equation 2

Therefore, differentiating equation 2 with respect to time.

v = dx(t)/dt = 27-12t²............. Equation 3.

Also differentiating equation 3 with respect to time,

a = dv/dt = -24t

a = -24t .................... Equation 4

from the question,

At the end of 1.0 s,

a = -24(1)

a = -24 m/s².

Thus the acceleration = -24 m/s²

The right option is 5. -24 m/s²
