Free Fall: A rock is thrown directly upward from the edge of a flat roof of a building that is 56.3 meters tall. The rock misses

the building on its way down, and is observed to strike the ground 4.00 seconds after being thrown. Take the acceleration due to gravity to have magnitude 9.80 m/s2 and neglect any effects of air resistance. With what speed was the rock thrown?

Answer:

v₀₁= 5.525 m / s

Explanation

Freefall Formulas :

The sign of acceleration due to gravity  (g) is positive if the object is going down and negative if the object is going up.

vf= v₀+gt  

vf²=v₀²+2*g*h

h= v₀t+ (1/2)*g*t²

Where:  

h: hight in meters (m)    

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Kinematics of the rock from the starting point with vo until it reaches its maximum height:

vf₁= v₀₁-gt₁  :vf₁ =0 to maximum height

0= v₀₁-gt₁

v₀₁ = g*t₁

t₁ =v₀₁ / g      Equation (1)

vf₁²= v₀₁²-2*g*h₁   : vf₁ =0 to maximum height

0 = v₀₁²-2*g*h₁

2*g*h₁ = v₀₁²

h₁ = (v₀₁²)/(2g)   Equation (2)

Kinematics of the rock when it falls from the maximum height until it touches the floor

h₂= v₀₂t+ (1/2)*g*t₂²  v₀₂=vf₁ =0

h₂= 0+ (1/2)*g*t₂²

h₂= (1/2)*g*t₂²   Equation (3)

Equation that relates h₁ to h₂

h₂=  h₁ + 56.3  ,  h₁ = (v₀₁²)/(2g)

h₂= (v₀₁²)/(2g) + 56.3  Equation (4)

Equation that relates t₁ to t₂

t₁ + t₂ =4 s

t₂ =4 -t₁

t₂ =4 -(v₀₁/g )

Calculation of v₀₁

We replace equation 4 and equation 5 in equation 3

(v₀₁²)/(2g) + 56.3 = (1/2)*g*(4 -(v₀₁/g ) )²

(v₀₁²)/(2g) + 56.3 = (1/2)*g* (16 - 2*4*(v₀₁/g )+((v₀₁/g )²)

we eliminate (v₀₁²)/(2g) on both sides of the equation

56.3 = (1/2)*g* (16 - 2*4*(v₀₁/g ))

56.3 = 78.4 - 4*v₀₁

4*v₀₁ =78.4-56.3

v₀₁= (78.4-56.3) / ( 4)

v₀₁= 5.525 m / s

An electron with charge −e and mass m moves in a circular orbit of radius r around a nucleus of charge Ze, where Z is the atomic
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}

Explanation:

The electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron is given by:

F=k\frac{(e)(Ze)}{r^2}=k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2} (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Ze is the charge of the nucleus

e is the charge of the electron

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

This electrostatic attraction provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular motion, which is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r} (2)

where

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

Combining the two equations (1) and (2), we find

k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

And solving for v, we find an expression for the speed of the electron:

v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}

PLEASE HELP
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

3.675 m

Explanation:

a_{x} =0 v_{xo}=100 a_{y} =-g  v_{yo}=0

X-direction     | Y-direction

R=x_{o}+ v_{xo} t  | y=y_{o}+v_{yo}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^2

75=100t         |y=0+0+\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(0.75)

\frac{75}{100} =t             | y=3.675 m

0.75s=t              

Hope it helps
