If you stand at the edge of a cliff that is 75 m high and throw a rock directly up into the air with a velocity of 20 m/s, at wh

Answer:

  At time 6.45 seconds rock will hit ground.  

Explanation:

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

 Let us take up direction as positive, so displacement = -75 m, initial velocity = 20 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8m/s^2

 Substituting

    -75= 20*t-\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2-20t-75=0

    t = 6.45 seconds or t =-2.37 seconds

    Since negative time is not possible, t = 6.45 seconds.

    So at time 6.45 seconds rock will hit ground.

The vertical position of the rock is given by:

y(t)=h+v_0 t -\frac{1}{2} gt^2

where

h=75 m is the initial height

v0=20 m/s is the initial vertical velocity

g=9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The problem asks to find the time t at which the rock hits the ground, so the time t at which y(t)=0, so the equation above becomes:

75 + 20 t - 4.9t^2 =0

Which has two solutions:

t=-2.37 s

t=6.45 s

The first solution is a negative time so it has no physical meaning, therefore the correct answer is t=6.45 s.

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

5.01 J

Explanation:

Info given:

mass (m) = 0.0780kg

height (h) = 5.36m

velocity (v) = 4.84 m/s

gravity (g) = 9.81m/s^2

1. First, solve for Kinetic energy (KE)

KE = 1/2mv^2

1/2(0.0780kg)(4.84m/s)^2 = 0.91 J

so KE = 0.91 J

2. Next, solve for Potential energy (PE)

PE = mgh

(0.0780kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5.36m) = 4.10 J

so PE = 4.10 J

3. Mechanical Energy , E = KE + PE

Plug in values for KE and PE

KE + PE = 0.91J + 4.10 J = 5.01 J
