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

You should not go into the left side of the roadway when within 100 feet of the crossing. Moreover, you should also turn on your turn signal when within 100 of a turn. These precautions prevent accidents as it makes clear to other drivers what your intentions are and drivers making turns are not endangered.

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t
vladimir1956 [14]
Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum


Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s

A silver wire has a cross sectional area a = 2.0 mm2. a total of 9.4 × 1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3.0 s. the conduc
marta [7]
This problem uses the relationships among current I, current density J, and drift speed vd. We are given the total of electrons that pass through the wire in t = 3s and the area A, so we use the following equation to to find vd, from J and the known electron density n, so: 

v_{d} =  \frac{J}{n\left | q \right |}

<span>The current I is any motion of charge from one region to another, so this is given by:

</span>I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{9.4x1018electrons}{3s} = 3189.73(A)

The magnitude of the current density is:

J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{3189.73}{2x10^{-6}} = 1594.86(A/m^{2})

Being:

A=2mm^{2} = 2x10^{-6}m^{2}
<span>
Finally, for the drift velocity magnitude vd, we find:

</span>v_{d} = \frac{1594.86}{5.8x1028\left |1.60x10^{-19}|\right } = 1.67x10^{18}(m/s)

Notice: The current I is very high for this wire. The given values of the variables are a little bit odd
