A system is contained by its boundary; therefore, the size of a system is limited by its boundary.

All systems differ in size from subatomic to the extent of the universe. All systems have limits and many systems have matter and power that runs within them. A boundary is an ended surface enclosing a system through which energy and mass may enroll or omit the system.

An object is projected at 25m/s from the top of a building of height 50m. At the same instant,another object is projected from t

docker41 [41]

A) The objects have the same vertical position after 2 seconds

B) The objects have same vertical position at y = 30.4 m (but they do not collide since they have different x-position)

Explanation:

The motion of the first object along the vertical direction is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can write its position at time t using the following equation:

$y_1(t)=h+u_1 t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where:

h = 50 m is the initial height

$u_1=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (the object is projected horizontally, so the vertical velocity is zero at the beginning)

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

So, its vertical position can be rewritten as

$y_1(t)=50-4.9t^2$

The position of object 2 instead can be written as

$y_2(t)=(u_2 sin \theta)t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

$u_2 sin \theta$ is the initial vertical velocity, where

$u_2 = 50 m/s$ is the initial velocity

$\theta=30^{\circ}$ is the angle of projection

Substituting, we get:

$y_2(t)=(50)(sin 30^{\circ})t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2=25t-4.9t^2$

The two objects collide when their vertical position is the same, so:

$y_1(t)=y_2(t)\\50-4.9t^2 = 25t-4.9t^2$

And solving for t, we find:

$50=25t\\t= 2 s$

Note that this means that the two object at t = 2 s have the same vertical position: however, this is not true for the horizontal position.

In order to find the point where they collide, we have to substitute the time of the collision that we found in part A into one of the expressions of the vertical position.

Substituting into the expression of object 2, we find:

$y_2(t) = 25t-4.9t^2=25(2.0)-4.9(2.0)^2=30.4 m$
