A stone is thrown with an initial velocity of 20 meters per second straight upward from the edge of a cliff 100 meters above a c

anyon floor. The stone just misses the cliff'a edge on its way down. (Neglect friction)
Calculate the time required for the stone to reach its maximum height.
Calculate the maximum height of the stone above the edge of the cliff.

I thought you were going to ask how long it takes for the stone to hit
the canyon floor at the bottom of the cliff.  But you're not asking for
anything after the stone barely misses the edge of the cliff on its way
down, and you're only asking about things that happen above the
edge of the cliff. So we don't need to know anything about the cliff,
or its height above anything else.  The thrower might just as well be
standing in his front yard when he throws the stone straight up.

-- Gravity robs 9.8 m/s from the stone's upward speed every second.
So the stone reaches its maximum height, runs out of upward gas, and
starts falling, in  (20 / 9.8) = <em>2.04 seconds</em> after the toss.

-- Its average speed during that time is (1/2) (20 + 0) = 10 m/s .
In 2.04 seconds at that average speed, it rises (2.04 x 10) = <em>20.4 meters</em> .

The time taken by the stone to reach the maximum height above the cliff is \boxed{2.04\text{ s}} and the maximum height reached by the stone above the cliff is \boxed{20.4\text{ m}} .

Explanation:

Given:

The initial velocity of the stone is 20\text{ m/s}.

The height of the cliff is 100\text{ m}.

Concept:

As the stone is thrown upward from the top of the cliff, the stone will move under the action of the acceleration due to gravity. The speed of the stone will decrease as it moves up because the acceleration on the stone is acting in the direction opposite to its motion.

The speed of the stone at its maximum height will be zero where is comes to rest for a moment.

The time taken by the stone to reach the maximum height is given by:

\boxed{v_f=v_i-gt}

Here, v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration and t is the time taken by the stone.

Substitute the values in above expression.

\begin{aligned}0&=20-(9.81)t\\t&=\dfrac{20}{9.81}\text{ s}\\&=2.04\text{ s}\end{aligned}

The distance covered by the stone in reaching the maximum height is given by:

\boxed{v_f^2=v_i^2-2gS}

Here, S is the distance covered by the stone.

Substitute the values in above expression.

\begin{aligned}(0)^2&=(20)^2-2(9.81)S\\S&=\dfrac{400}{19.62}\text{ m}\\&=20.4\text{ m}\end{aligned}

Thus, The time taken by the stone to reach the maximum height above the cliff is \boxed{2.04\text{ s}} and the maximum height reached by the stone above the cliff is \boxed{20.4\text{ m}} .

Determine the approximate force (N) used to pull a sled up a 400 m hill using 1900 J of work.
Sergeu [11.5K]
The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by
W=Fd
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.

In our problem, the work done is W=1900 J and the distance through which the force is applied is d=400 m, so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
F= \frac{W}{d}= \frac{1900 J}{400 m} = 4.75 N \sim 5 N

A truck accidentally rolls down a driveway for 8.0\,\text m8.0m8, point, 0, start text, m, end text while a person pushes agains
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to work energy theorem

change in kinetic energy of truck = work done against it

work done against it = force x displacement

= - 850 x 8 = 6800 J

change in kinetic energy of truck = - 6800 J .

energy will be reduced by 6800 J
