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

Nadya [2.5K]

As per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here we can say that

every body which apply force on other body must have a reaction force of same magnitude in opposite direction

So here if ball hits the ground by 50 N force then the ball must have a reaction force on itself with same magnitude and opposite direction

the magnitude of the force will be 50 N

and its direction is opposite to the force that ball apply on the floor

Block A of 5 kg with a speed of 3 m/s collides with block B of 10 kg that is stationary. After the collision, block B travels wi
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

-1m/s

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of block A after collision

According to collision theory:

MaVa+MbVb = MaVa+MbVb (after collision)

Substitute the given values

5(3)+10(0) = 5Va+10(2)

15+0 = 5Va + 20

5Va = 15-20

5Va = -5

Va = -5/5

Va = -1m/s

Hence the velocity of ball A after collision is -1m/s

Note that the velocity of block B is zero before collision since it is stationary

Elanso [62]

Answer:

A. The bomb will take <em>17.5 seconds </em>to hit the ground

B. The bomb will land <em>12040 meters </em>on the ground ahead from where they released it

Explanation:

Maverick and Goose are flying at an initial height of y_0=1500m, and their speed is v=688 m/s

When they release the bomb, it will initially have the same height and speed as the plane. Then it will describe a free fall horizontal movement

The equation for the height y with respect to ground in a horizontal movement (no friction) is

y=y_0 - \frac{gt^2}{2}    [1]

With g equal to the acceleration of gravity of our planet and t the time measured with respect to the moment the bomb was released

The height will be zero when the bomb lands on ground, so if we set y=0 we can find the flight time

The range (horizontal displacement) of the bomb x is

x = v.t     [2]

Since the bomb won't have any friction, its horizontal component of the speed won't change. We need to find t from the equation [1] and replace it in equation [2]:

Setting y=0 and isolating t we get

t=\sqrt{\frac{2y_0}{g}}

Since we have y_0=1500m

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(1500)}{9.8}}

t=17.5 sec

Replacing in [2]

x = 688\ m/sec \ (17.5sec)

x = 12040\ m

A. The bomb will take 17.5 seconds to hit the ground

B. The bomb will land 12040 meters on the ground ahead from where they released it
