A rock is thrown from the top of a 20-m building at an angle of 53° above the horizontal. If the horizontal range of the throw

is equal to the height of the building, with what speed was the rock thrown? What is the velocity of the rock just before it strikes the ground?

Answer:

28.5 m/s

18.22 m/s

Explanation:

h = 20 m, R = 20 m, theta = 53 degree

Let the speed of throwing is u and the speed with which it strikes the ground is v.

Horizontal distance, R = horizontal velocity x time

Let t be the time taken

20 = u Cos 53 x t

u t = 20/0.6 = 33.33 ..... (1)

Now use second equation of motion in vertical direction

h = u Sin 53 t - 1/2 g t^2

20 = 33.33 x 0.8 - 4.9 t^2     (ut = 33.33 from equation 1)

t = 1.17 s

Put in equation (1)

u = 33.33 / 1.17 = 28.5 m/s

Let v be the velocity just before striking the ground

vx = u Cos 53 = 28.5 x 0.6 = 17.15 m/s

vy = uSin 53 - 9.8 x 1.17

vy = 28.5 x 0.8 - 16.66

vy = 6.14 m/s

v^2 = vx^2 + vy^2 = 17.15^2 + 6.14^2

v = 18.22 m/s

If you are in an elevator that speed up then the apparent weight is
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Fnet - Fg

Explanation:

When an object is in an elevator, its weight varies with respect to the direction of movement of the elevator and the elevators acceleration.

The weight, W, of an object can be expressed as;

W = mg

where m is the object's mass, and g is the acceleration due gravity.

If the object is in an elevator that speed up, an apparent weight would be felt since both mass and elevator are moving against gravitational pull of the earth.

So that,

W_{net} = mg + ma

where: mg is the weight of the object, and ma is the apparent weight.

Apparent weight (ma) = W_{net} - mg

A 4kg brick is dropped from the top of a building whose hight is 30m.what is the velocity with which it reaches the ground​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

=24.25 ^−1

Explanation:

Let   and   be initial and final velocity of the body respectively,  

be acceleration due to gravity ( 9.8^−2 ),  ℎ be the height of the body.

=0 ^ −1

ℎ=30

we know that, ^2−^ 2=2ℎ

^2=2∗9.8∗30

^2=588

=24.25 ^−1
