While standing on a bridge 40.0 m above the ground, you drop a stone from rest. when the stone has fallen 3.80 m, you throw a se

cond stone straight down. what initial velocity must you give the second stone if they are both to reach the ground at the same instant? take the downward direction to be the negative direction?

Given: distance 1 d₁ = 40 m;  distance 2 d₂ = 3.8 m   g = -9.8 m/s²

 Initial Velocity Vi = 0  Final Velocity of stone 2 is unknown = ?

Total distance dₓ = d₁ - d₂  = 40 m - 3.8 m = 36.2 m

Formula: a = Vf² -  Vi²/2d   derive for Final Velocity Vf
 
acceleration is now due to gravity, therefore a = g

Vf = √2gd   Vf = √2(9.8 m/s²)(36.2 m)

Vf = 26.64 m/s  

Reason: The second stone will still start from rest.

A proton moves from a location where V = 87 V to a spot where V = -40 V. (a) What is the change in the proton's kinetic energy?
Art [367]

Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field.  This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then  they can not move to higher potential  if any  external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons  can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

A student throws a rock upwards. The rock reaches a maximum height 2.4 seconds after it was released.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.
