You throw a 20-N rock vertically into the air from ground level. You observe that when it is a height 14.8m above the ground, it

is traveling at a speed of 25.0 m/s upward.
A) Use the work-energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground. What is it?
B) Use the work-energy theorem to find its maximum height. What is it?

Answer:

(A) The speed just as it left the ground is 30.25 m/s

(B) The maximum height of the rock is 46.69 m

Explanation:

Given;

weight of rock, w = mg  = 20 N

speed of the rock at 14.8 m, u = 25 m/s

(a) Apply work energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground

work = Δ kinetic energy

F x d = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²

mg x d = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

g x d = ¹/₂(v² - u²)

gd = ¹/₂(v² - u²)

2gd = v² - u²

v² = 2gd  + u²

v² = 2(9.8)(14.8) + (25)²

v² = 915.05

v = √915.05

v = 30.25 m/s

B) Use the work-energy theorem to find its maximum height

the initial velocity of the rock = 30.25 m/s

at maximum height, the final velocity = 0

- mg x H = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²

- mg x H = ¹/₂m(0) - ¹/₂mu²

- mg x H = - ¹/₂mu²

2g x H = u²

H = u² / 2g

H = (30.25)² / 2(9.8)

H = 46.69 m

Ten identical steel wires have equal lengths L and equal "spring constants" k. The Young's modulus of each wire is Y. The wires
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.

Its unit is N/m².

The formula for the Young's modulus is given by

Y=\frac{F \times L}{A\times \delta L}

where, F is the force applied on a rod, L is the initial length of the rod, ΔL is the change in length of the rod as the force is applied, A is the area of crossection of the rod.

It is the property of material of solid. So, when the 10 wires are co joined together to form a new wire of length 10 L, the material remains same so the young' modulus remains same.

A 70.0 kg person climbs stairs, gaining 3.90 meters in height. Find the work done (in J) to accomplish this task.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Work done, W = 2675.4 J

Given:

mass, m = 70.0 kg

height, H = 3.90 m

Solution:

According to the question, as the person jumps the stairs up, there is an increase in the potential energy of the person which is provided by the work done in climbing the stairs and is given by:

Work done, W = mgH

where

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^{2}[tex][tex]W = 70.0\times 9.8\times 3.90 = 2675.4 J
