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

Where are bar magnets the strongest?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The magnetic field is strongest at the center and weakest between the two poles just outside the bar magnet. The magnetic field lines are densest at the center and least dense between the two poles just outside the bar magnet.

Use newton's law to explain the vertical acceleration of a projectile
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion: This law states that an object will remain at rest or continue in constant motion except it's acted upon by an external force. In projectile motion, the horizontal component of velocity will remain unchanged because we ignore air resistance since no force is acting in that horizontal direction.

Newton's second law of motion: This law states that force is the product of mass and acceleration. In projectile the force acts downwards, thus f = mg.

But g = a since internal forces will cancel out.

Thus, F = ma

Objects 1 and 2 attract each other with a gravitational force of 45 units. If the mass of Object 1 is doubled, then the new grav
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D²

so, if you double one of the masses, what does that do to our equation ?

Fgravitynew = G*(2*mass1*mass2)/D²

due to the commutative property of multiplication

Fgravitynew = 2* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 2* Fgravity

so, the correct answer will be 2×45 = 90 units.
