At the same moment, one rock is dropped and one is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 29m/s from the top of a building

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The thrown rock strike 2.42 seconds earlier.

Explanation:

This is an uniformly accelerated motion problem, so in order to find the arrival time we will use the following formula:

$x=vo*t+\frac{1}{2} a*t^2\\where\\x=distance\\vo=initial velocity\\a=acceleration$

So now we have an equation and unkown value.

for the thrown rock

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+29*t-300=0$

for the dropped rock

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)*t^2+0*t-300=0$

solving both equation with the quadratic formula:

$\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4*a*c} }{2*a}$

we have:

the thrown rock arrives on t=5.4 sec

the dropped rock arrives on t=7.82 sec

so the thrown rock arrives 2.42 seconds earlier (7.82-5.4=2.42)

An engineer wishes to design a curved exit ramp for a toll road in such a way that a car will not have to rely on friction to ro

Dafna11 [192]

To solve this problem we will make a graph that allows us to understand the components acting on the body. In this way we will have the centripetal Force and the Force by gravity generating a total component. If we take both forces and get the trigonometric ratio of the tangent we would have the angle is,

$T_x = nsinA = \frac{mv^2}{r}$
