A boy throws a rock with an initial velocity of 2.15 m/s at 30.0° above the horizontal. If air resistance is negligible, how lon
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

t = 0.11 second

The time taken to reach the maximum height of the trajectory is 0.11 second

Explanation:

Taking the vertical component of the initial velocity;

Vy = Vsin∅

Initial velocity V = 2.15 m/s

Angle ∅ = 30°

Vy = 2.15sin30 = 2.15 × 0.5

Vy = 1.075 m/s

The height of the rock at time t during the flight is;

From the equation of motion;

h(t) = Vy×t - 0.5gt^2

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Substituting the given values;

h(t) = 1.075t - 0.5(9.8)t^2

h(t) = 1.075t - 4.9t^2

The rock is at maximum height when dh/dt = 0;

dh(t)/dt = 1.075 - 9.8t = 0

1.075 - 9.8t = 0

9.8t = 1.075

t = 1.075/9.8

t = 0.109693877551 s

t = 0.11 second

The time taken to reach the maximum height of the trajectory is 0.11 second

A leaky 10-kg bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 10 m at a constant speed with a rope that weighs 0.9 kg/m. Initial
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The work done shall be 14715 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by a force 'F' in a displacement 'dy' is given by

W=m(y)g\times dy

At any position 'y' the weight shall be sum of weft of water and weight of string

\therefore m(y)=m_{water}(y)+m_{string}(y)\\\\m(y)=30(1-\frac{y}{10})+0.9y

Thus applying values we get

W=\int m(y)g\times dy\\\\W=\int_{0}^{10}(30(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)\times g)dy\\\\Solving\\W=294.3\int_{0}^{10}(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)dy\\\\W=14715J
